But it probably cost $$$$, which is what counts in TrumpWorld.

Mon Jan 1, 2018, 10:56 PM

A neon gunny sack.
What a strange outfit.

In the Palm Beach photo, poor Barron is standing there in a tux matching his dad's. It's like they don't realize he's a child. At least he seems like a very obedient boy. I'm just trying to imagine what my three boys would have said at that age at an order to wear a tux. I couldn't even get them to put on leather shoes. Trump's such a martinet though-- remember Donnie Jr's college roommate saying that Trump knocked Djr to the floor because the boy dressed -- for a ballgame-- in a Yankees jersey rather than a suit.

I don't imagine Trump pays him much attention, anyway. In every photo he is standing still, his face expressionless, his arms hanging straight down his sides, his hands open. There is also the much published tale of how Trump only "allowed" Melania to have a baby if she promised she'd get her figure back. Another reason to wish Trump gone, the sooner the better: Melania can quit the job of FLOTUS, which she obviously hates, and take her son away to live a hopefully, more normal life.

This is the same reason she didn't make it as a model. She doesn't make anything look good, really.

92. It would not surprise me if Donald made her wear that.

It would not be the first time he set out to humiliate her. I think the entire rip off of Michelle Obama's speech was done deliberately to prank her. Anything to draw attention to him and his campaign.

She came to the US to work for an escort service -- translation: Highly-paid ho'.

And nothing has changed.

97. I imagined she is "dressed" by designers?

Of course, I'm sure she has to agree to each number. Unlike most of the First Ladies I can remember, she doesn't seem to have her own individual style. Her choices are all over the place. That said, it would very difficult to out-shine Michelle Obama. THAT woman had style. And to think some conservatives criticized Michelle Obama for "showing her arms"--puhleeze.

makes it look like she has a basketball stuffed in her chest. This one will go in the books as one of the ugliest
dresses ever worn by a "First Lady". She may hold the title, but she in no way qualifies for the job any more
than her incompetent, ignorant, bullying, racist, sack of orange $hit con man husband qualifies for his. What a pair of losers.

I am no expert on fashion but I do watch Project Runway.

I sometimes like things other people find ugly and I am willing to cut the person some slack when warranted. But this is just hideous. I don't even think it's one of those things that looks better in person. There's something off about all of the proportions, not to mention the tackiness of the shiny fabric and flowers. Cut the sleeves off and make a V neck in front which would be more flattering for her chest and it might have been passable.

...if I'd spent several years cooped up in that gold-plated-kitsch-fuck-fest-from-hell apartment in Tramp Tower, my tastes would probably be FUBAR-squared too?

Granted if you look fabulous anyway, a burlap sack looks great on you. (Not so with her)

In her case she probably has to please her Owner (that's her job) - hence the garbage wardrobe with gaudy cartoony Rich Bastard™ vibes. She may have just went with the most expensive shiny "fancy looking" piece of shit she could (out of what her personal shopper brought)

nice outfits etc...come on she's got bank to get the high post stuff. She's a birther pusher (puns there) and birther lover (gross) but come on she has fashion sense --- most of the time.

I'm being objective.

129. I disagree. Her slacks are ill-fitting, her dresses unflattering. I don't care how expensive

her clothes are. The only time she looked good was at Donny Two Scoops' YUUUUge Inauguration. IMHO.
