If you wondered if she was for real. Here it is. She wore anI-really-don’t-care jacket to visit imprisoned children.
No, it’s not ironic. Act like a fucking first lady, asshole. You do have a voice and could use it.
Supposedly it is a very cheap jacket (which is not her style). And she only wore it in DC (not in Texas), despite the fact was in the 80s.
She was saying something to someone, the question is who.
I ain’t giving her no slack, but it’s a raincoat. It has been raining in Tx today. And maybe it’s cold on the plane. But still, it was a bad decision all around. She’s not a member of Mensa. English is her second language. Somebody should’ve wisened her up about the coat. Just plain stupid. This Whitehouse never ceases to amaze, and not in a good way.
Trump tweeted about it to say, it was meant for the fake news outlets. Because she’s recently been informed they’re fake apparently. And she doesn’t care.
I think he’s using her to troll American news outlets maybe.
She sounds like a whore, because she is a whore. I looked it up it means prostitute. Michelle would have never acted thusly. I don’t have a problem with whores, but the hypocrites who voted for this administration claim that they have a problem with whores.
I got a problem with people calling women they dislike whores, so where are we now–you gonna engage in a dumb misogynistic namecalling just to troll conservatives? Don’t go down that road.
That said, I don’t think this is accidental–Melania’s area of expertise is clothing, and I gurandamntee that’s not her main raincoat. She was sending a message with it. I don’t know what it is, though, and I’m a big fan of “use your words” as a way to send clear messages, and also I don’t give much of a crap about what Melania thinks.
I posted this elsewhere, but I’ll repeat it here: Between plagiarizing Michelle Obama’s speech, slapping his hands away in public and on camera, and now this, one almost has to wonder if she is sabotaging him and he’s too obtuse to see it.
I hope that is the case. The thought gives me a real warm fuzzy.
That’s one interpretation (and I’d LOVE it to be true too) but I think the message on the coat is meant to appeal to the ‘deplorables’ who just writhe in orgasmic joy every time Trump Inc sets a new low bar. Melania is just a half-wit tool in the Trump Inc box of tricks, but I condemn her roundly for her complicity in this disgusting charade.
Where to from here? Who knows. How low can they go before those with even just a smidgen of human DNA call WHOA THERE TRUMP? Is there a cut off point?
The way things are heading, I truly doubt it.
Has it crossed your mind that she is the consummate passive aggressive and her target is her husband?
I’d believe this if I had any sense that she even liked him.
Now universe, I know elucidator hasn’t been a very good pantheist, but is it too much to ask for Melania to make a joint appearance with Hillary in support of…something? Orphaned immigrant babies? Colin Kaepernick? Burger King’s chicken fries? Any damn thing at all?
She must have liked him at one time. She married and had a kid with him.
Beck, she never liked him. She wanted to be married to a rich man and having a baby helped secure her alimony/child support for the inevitable divorce. The jacket was also not a mistake. She has stylists, publicists, all that. It was a carefully calculated decision to troll the left.
It’s not beyond the realm of imagining that she liked his money and perceived power, either. Anyhow, she clearly doesn’t seem to like him anymore, does she?
I don’t buy “English is not her first language” as an excuse. Her English ability is far better than that of quite a number of people for whom English is purportedly a first language. Maybe she’s simply short-sighted and decided that the message on the coat is what she wants to say to the media. Even if that’s true, it’s still a wrong message.
Let’s crowdfund this. I’d chip in.
“I’ve got money. Your comrades are making me president of all people ! Get me votes in the Bible Belt by posing for my twitter thing.”
It’s ambiguous. During the Republican National Convention, she said that Donald, “Says what he means and he means what he says.” Anyone familiar with Donald Trump’s history with the tabloids or the author of Art of the Deal knows that intentional falsehoods are a big part of his toolkit. As Donald Trump told Billy Bush, “Look, you just tell them and they believe it. That’s it: you just tell them and they believe. They just do.” It’s interesting (and appropriate) that few have bothered to unpack Melania’s signaling.
Basically everyone in Trump’s inner circle is highly dubious about the guy. Melania happens to signal this more publicly than most. As for the jacket, while the message could be targeted at Fake News, I’m guessing it’s her husband that is being ambiguously targeted.
She’s an irrelevance, working in a job that she didn’t sign up for.
Melania, 2005, in a business school class:
[INDENT]In 2005, the newlywed Melania Trump addressed a business class at New York University. A student asked the supermodel if she would still be with Donald Trump if he was not rich.
“If I weren’t beautiful, do you think he’d be with me?” she quipped. [/INDENT] https://www.huffingtonpost.com/entry/melania-trump-summed-up-her-tragic-marriage-in-one_us_592444eee4b07617ae4cbfa2
A marriage of mutual convenience and exploitation. They are each other’s trophies.
