First lady Melania Trump has received criticism for the unveiling of a new pavilion on the tennis court of the White House in the middle of an escalation of the Corona crisis.

In reactions on Twitter, the number of corona deaths and overcrowded US hospitals were referred to, among other things.

Trump published a photo of the newly built white pavilion on Monday.

Previously there was only one kind of shelter next to the tennis court.

Donald Trump's predecessor Barack Obama had the court redesigned so that he could also play basketball there.

Nothing of that was to be seen now.

The renovation began last year and, according to the White House, was funded by donations.
