President Donald Trump’s daughter Ivanka and her husband Jared Kushner, a senior White House advisor, were trolled on Twitter after Ivanka shared a picture on her Instagram a day after President Trump’s executive order.

The picture that shows Ivanka in a $5000 evening gown and dolled up with her husband was also shared on Twitter. People immediately took to social media to decry the fact that Trump and her husband showed off fancy attire while the lives and security of refugees were in question, with a mounting number of Americans filling every nook and cranny at airports to protest the detention and deportation of refugees, reported Yahoo.

Quickly, the hashtag #lethemeatcake popped up on social media, as people compared Ivanka Trump to Marie Antoinette, the Queen of France during the French Revolution.

Antoinette, while married to French King Louis XVI, is associated with the phrase “Let them eat cake!” in relation to her supposed reaction upon hearing about the struggles of the people of France, including a food shortage that left many families without basic staples like bread.
