Melania TrumpandJackie Kennedyboth exhibited a flair for fashion throughout their lives, but many don’t agree withPresident Donald Trump’s comparison of the two former first ladies.

“People get used to something but — and it was Jackie O. and that’s good, but we have our own Jackie O. today. It’s called Melania. We’ll call it Melania T,” he added. “People love her. She gets no credit from the media, but she gets credit from the people.”

However, the comparison didn’t sit well with many social media users.

“Jackie O visiting suffering children vs. Melania visiting suffering children,” the Twitter user wrote.

Another user added: “She has been trying to emulate her in dressing. But that’s about where the similarities end. You can never become Jackie, Melania. Except on Halloween.”

“A) ‘It’ refers to an object, a thing — not a human being,” wrote one social media user. “B) Melania is not fit to wipe the dust from the bottom of Jaqueline’s shoes. She could never be & will never be a ‘new Jackie O’.”
