Donald and Melania Trump’s quick 36-hour trip to India in now in the books, and other than a few photos and videos, absolutely nothing came out of the costly taxpayer-funded trip.
But, Melania and Ivanka got to take lots of photos in front of the Taj Mahal and Trump got his big rally to satiate his ego, and that is all that matters to this monsters.
Videos are still trickling in and one in particular is making a lot of people laugh…for the sheer ridiculousness of it.
On Monday the Trumps finished their visit to Raj Ghat, the memorial for Mahatma Gandhi, with a tree planting ceremony.
(Just remember that Gandhi was knows for his humility.)
They each picked up a shovel and tossed a spadeful of soil into an open hole, where a small sapling was placed.
They also watched a wreath-laying ceremony in honor of Gandhi, before signing a guest book and receiving a bronze bust of Gandhi. They walked around the monument, observed a moment of silence, and tossed flower petals onto the monument.

But it was the tree planting that caught most eyes.
Neither Trump or Melania look like they know what they are doing. And Melania is wearing the highest of high heels, in white, to plant a tree.
LMAO!!! Watch Trump and Melania try to use shovels. Melania can barely lift it. Trump looks clueless!! pic.twitter.com/Vfmt353o4O [3]

And this isn’t a new thing for Melania. Remember when she attended a tree planting ceremony at the White House wearing a pair of pink, pointy-toe high heels? During the event, she got down and dirty with a shovel, while wearing a pink top and a $4,000 Valentino floral pleated skirt.
Or how about the time she wore sky-high heels to visit a hurricane?

Twitter had a field day:
There they go killing a perfectly good tree. Like the one at the white house. Dead after planting.

The words that come to mind…lumbering oaf. And WHY is she wearing five inch heels to lift a shovel of dirt? She's lucky the weight didn't pull her off balance, although it would've made good comedy.

Neither of them has ever used a shovel.
Not ever.I'm shocked her heels didn't get stuck in the fake grass. Now that would have been funny!

She probably got a cramp keeping those hooker heels from sinking into the earth.
