On a day which variously included Donald Trump promising to rename the Gulf of Mexico, virtually all of the January 6 rioters being released, and Elon Musk doing a gesture so reminiscent of the Third Reich that it was actually blurred on Australian and German television, it was a far more pedestrian moment that ended up stealing the show at the presidential inauguration on Monday. Specifically, Melania Trump’s wide-brimmed, face-shielding, Hamburglar-style hat, which seemed to prevent her husband from kissing her. Looking characteristically glum, the outré garb was part of the wider funereal vibe of the all-black outfit Melania picked for the most important day of her husband’s life.
