Last week, Melania Trump shared a message to mark National Substance Abuse Prevention Month:
This October I am honoring National Substance Use Prevention Month by joining @ONDCP to highlight the dedicated efforts of our Nation's youth to encourage healthy drug-free lives. Share how you are helping your community using #BeDrugFree – we look forward to hearing from you! pic.twitter.com/DiMTCsk9Si

CNN analyst Asha Rangappa was among those who watched it, but she had trouble focusing on the substance of the First Lady’s remarks because of the way Mrs. Trump was standing:
I can't focus on what she's saying because I'm distracted by the camera angle. Why is she standing sideways and not facing the camera??? https://t.co/Y7HeTDikGu

Yeah, standing sideways like that is so obnoxious. Like seriously, who does that?
I actually think there could be something interesting here in people who came to public political life through posing/modeling/showbiz vs other routes….

But she's done other videos announcements before where she is facing the camera. This is just really bizarre. It's like she's filming a Maybelline ad but talking about addiction.

Maybe Asha’s born with it … or maybe she’s just full of it:
this camera angle? https://t.co/5fi89GKobP pic.twitter.com/BmReX1rzWk

That's amazing ?

It really is. Because while Melania was speaking on video and Asha was just posing for a photo, Asha’s supposed to be a CNN analyst. A serious one. Who used to be a special agent in the FBI.
Who does Asha Rangappa think she is? A model?
She’s the reigning queen of self-owns
