However, why would she still be wearing it once she got off the plane? It's not cold there, is it?

or an overlooked fashion faux pas. Who in their right mind would wear this who was not a college kid, and certainly not to this destination and under these circumstances, and most certainly a flotus? This was deliberate, a straight up FU to the country.

then we cannot go after Melania for things like this, either. It goes both ways, there is nothing at all wrong with nude photography.

105. OFFS. There's no nudity. It's her glorification of material wealth (& guns!).

I didn't post her "nude modeling photos." Those are readily available all over the internet. This is not one of them.



But your concern is duly noted.

If you had been able to look past her cleavage, you would have seen what was really shameless about that photo.

Not the brightest bulb in the box. I wonder if she even knows what that says or means.

Assuming she does, this is nothing more than a veiled middle finger from the Trump White House to the majority of Americans who are in the non-Deplorable camp.

One of her aides is about to be punished hard.

On a related note, a balmy Jun afternoon on the longest day of the year by our southern border isn't exactly jacket weather. Unless she was cold only on the plane and took it off upon landing. I really hope she wasn't being more obvious about her model white privilege in front of less fortunate brown children.

That whole family has to have earned so much bad karma in their lives there's no point pretending to be decent people anymore.

PsyOps.

Trump keeps saying "This is the Democrats' fault."

Ivanka thanks him for ending the policy.

Melania sends this horrid message.

Anyone trying to give them credit for being 'clueless' and 'tone deaf' is not accepting the fact that these people are just messing with America's heads. BECAUSE THEY CAN.

It is a blatant "nudge nudge, wink wink" to their reality TV fans.

Then they will put on a faux shock response to any criticism by Dems or the media. "How DARE you imply that a jacket, made by a highly respected designer, has anything to do with making any kind of statement about the immigrant issue?!!!. Isn't it OBVIOUS by her great sacrifice to leave her luxurious penthouse and come to Texas, that she and the President both care deeply about these poor children ripped apart by Democrats?"

I am torn though in what to believe about Melania.

Is she really also a nazi wh*** who is in on their "clever" bait and switch to their fans?
Or is she frightened, or bribed, or threatened into wearing that jacket?
Or is she the simplest of simpletons and is being used like an actual stepford wife to do whatever she is asked without thinking?

Maybe this is a blinking out T-O-R-T-U-R-E moment for Melania. Maybe she is challenging us all to get up and do something about it.

Because it's pretty blatant.

This more likely gives them an opportunity to point at us and say we're over-reacting.

How do you counter the bad optics of this latest fiasco? He convinces the base that we're just all over reacting to this and then conflates it to us having over-reacted to the rest of it too. Maybe he can even convince them that *they* over-reacted.

I think he's still in damage-to-image control. While this outwardly appears to damage him further, I think he can possibly spin it to his base in this way - at least to those who are looking for a way to forgive/explain him for this.

Except, of course the one written on the jacket.

I guess they thought it was a better choice than the one stating
“I’m with Stupid”

When the backlash against these monsters comes - and, mark my words, it is coming - they will all rue the day they said and did these vicious, vile things.

Justice is coming their way like freight train but they are so blind to their own bullshit that they refuse to believe their day of reckoning is coming. They are going to be the recipients of the most powerful "whomp-whomp" in history.
