But Americans care. Throw the bums out, and their russian handlers, too.

4. Her staff must really hate her. Someone probably handed her this as a raincoat.

She probably didn't even look at it when they gave it to her. She should know better, especially if she's dealt with servants for any length of time in the Donald's household.

C'mon, really guys - she wouldn't buy anything like that or have it in her wardrobe.
It's only $40 - $50 at most...certainly not designer chic enough for her.

A wink to the base. To assure the base they still hate brown people.

Its what Republicans do. Like when VP Dick Cheney actually wore a "Staff" hat to the Auschwitz 60 year memorial in 2005. Yes, that's correct. VP of the United States wore an Auschwitz staff hat to a Holocaust memorial.

Some flack sought out this jacket. Then FLOTUS wore it. She never wears $39.00 anything. She does not shop at fucking Zara...which is by the way a Russian owned clothing chain.
They do not give a fuck.

I was listening to MSNBC audio and thought that she was doing rather well and thought that she would help Trump win a couple of cycles.

The coat wiped out whatever she did at the center off the cycle.

A lot of non native English speakers never really look at what something says in English, just how it looks.

I was in Singapore waiting for a light change to cross the street when I looked at the crowd on the other side coming towards me. There was a pleasant but very conservative looking woman in her 50's crossing with a very attractive high end tee shirt and she was wearing jeans. I would guess that she is a tourist from China.

As she got closer I almost seized up in laughter as I read what the shirt said, "Happiness is a tight pussy" which circled a beautiful picture of a cat.
