Melania Trump called it a “daunting task.”
Was she talking about recovery efforts in:

- Texas, after Hurricane Harvey?
- Louisiana, after Hurricanes Harvey and Nate?
- Florida, after Hurricane Irma?
- Puerto Rico and the Virgin Islands after Hurricane Maria?
- California after the October wildfires?
- All of the above?
- None of the above?
When Melania said, “…we were very busy with all that goes into” was she talking about:

- Rebuilding in Texas?
- Rebuilding in Louisiana?
- Rebuilding in Florida?
- Rebuilding in Puerto Rico and the Virgin Islands?
- Rebuilding in California?
- All of the above?
- None of the above?
When Melania referred to “poor Hervé” was she referring to a resident of:
- Texas?
Wildfires, Northern California - Louisiana?
- Florida?
- Puerto Rico and the Virgin Islands?
- California?
- All of the above?
- None of the above?
If you chose #7 for all three, you’re right.
Our First Lady was referring to…

Creating her inaugural ball gown.
That was the “daunting task” that kept her “very busy,” as we learned at the gown donation ceremony at the Smithsonian on October 20, 2017.
And “poor Hervé”? That’s Hervé Pierre, the gown designer.
No worries about the cost, though, since we taxpayers weren’t on the hook for it – the gown was “gifted” to Mrs. T. by poor Hervé. So at least those tax dollars can go toward helping (see #1-5, above).
