Melania Trump's new hat helpfully reminds us that she is FLOTUS

Donald Trump doesn't have a monopoly on embarrassing, on-the-nose hats. It seems that Melania loves them too.

The Trumps touched down in Texas on Tuesday in the wake of Hurricane Harvey, and, unsurprisingly, Donald the Understated wore a big white "USA" cap for the occasion. (Also unsurprisingly, he brought up crowd size while speaking to a group of locals affected by the storm. Very chill!)

Melania wore a bizarre hat of her very own to go with her newly-donned Stan Smiths -- a black baseball cap that says "FLOTUS." To be fair, this could be a useful accessory: it's easy to forget being FLOTUS is her job and not Ivanka's.

Perhaps this is why, unlike all of Donald's bad hats, this hat is not (yet) available for purchase online. If it can be bought, then Ivanka might buy it -- and then how will we tell who is the real first lady?
