If Melania Trump were indeed trapped in a twisted dystopia where she’s visible to millions yet a prisoner in the White House, she wouldn’t be going down without a fight. Her choice of headgear to welcome the French president and first lady could have well been evocative of the white bonnets of Margaret Atwood’s handmaids, but a symbol of submission it certainly was not. The decision to hat her head while Brigitte Macron was hatless was not a style statement – it was protective armour, a “defensive perimeter”, as TV host Stephen Colbert called it. And it clearly worked, forcing Donald Trump to air kiss her from a foot away and circumventing any cheek-to-cheek at all.
