"Who cares?"

Although there are many, many more serious problems plaguing the world, everyone can't stop talking about Melania Trump's shoes.

The Trumps made their way to Texas on Tuesday morning to assess the damage left by Hurricane Harvey. While Donald Trump donned a rain jacket and boots, Melanie wore high-heeled, black stilettos.

Many people thought this outfit choice was inappropriate, given the fact that the two were visiting a disaster zone. However, one person defending Melania's choice is The Daily Show's Trevor Noah. Although Noah is a notorious critic of the Donald Trump, he had one thing to say about the so-called incident: "Who cares?"

“I don’t know why anyone should care what anyone wears when they’re on their way to help people,” Noah said. “Like who cares?”

Noah also pointed out a similarity between Melania's outfit choice and what the Pope normally wears to help people in need, and although this situation is just a little different, we get it.

"In Melania's defense, she lives in a permanent disaster zone, and that's what she always wears," Noah concluded.
