"It's just laughable... she's been in the U.S. for 30 years and can barely speak English," another user chimed in.
A third wrote, "I can’t understand a word she’s saying," while a fourth added, "10 to 1 closed caption couldn't figure out what it is she is talking about."
Dozens of other users echoed the same sentiment, with some comparing her voice to nails on a chalkboard.

Michael Wolff has called attention to Melania Trump's alleged ties to Jeffrey Epstein.
The former model's appearance at the summit comes after it was revealed last week that biographer Michael Wolff is suing her for allegedly threatening him over his claims linking her to late predator Jeffrey Epstein.
As OK! previously reported, Michael alleged the legal move has left the president shaken, stating, "I am under his skin with this Melania lawsuit."
