Charles Jaco @charlesjaco1 11m11 minutes agoMelania's jacket made by Spanish company Zara. Other items they sell mock the Holocaust and feature both swastikas and the white nationalist mascot Pepe the Frog. So I'm thinking her jacket's statement was aimed at the kids. For Zara, hate seems to be a marketing tool. She knew.

The US taxpayers picked up the tab for the Zara photo shoot..how damned convenient!
No overhead...
They exploited the humanitarian border crises for profit.

(65,068 posts)You think people are going to pay designer prices for ugly clothes because people are talking about what a tool Melania is?
oberliner
(58,724 posts)That was part of what got people buzzing about it (since normally she wears such expensive clothes). Seemed like she was going out of her way to wear something she would never normally wear because of the message.
As far as brands are concerned, publicity is generally good.
My POV is: this should be a non-story.
