When you think of the two literal geniuses that could be running the show now, Mr. & Mrs. Clinton.

Amazing, that we CHOSE to have these traitors and ignoramuses, well we didnt actually but allowing filth like this to get as close as they did? NO excuse!

it's a sad day because of her shoes? LOL if so I feel for you

The rest of your post makes it very clear you didn't read or understand what Elliot said.

Everything about them is inappropriate and sick, including her shoes.

these people are just in such a bubble of privilege.

Clearly, they're new and probably will never be worn again.

As was the rest of her wardrobe.

I'm sure she's mad as hell that he dragged her along the first time. Presidents generally don't drag their wives along to survey disaster damage.

Why can't she wear the clothes for the visit when she gets on the plane? Or does she have to change clothes every few hours, no matter what.

Tis a puzzlement.

And, yes, I'm sure that she was absolute thrilled to be there.

It's hard to get into the minds of people who are that warped, in order to try to understand them. I have seen the Obamas change clothes mid-flight (No, not literally), but it's always for a long flight, where they're going to wind up in another climate--like Hawaii. In December. The temperature in DC was not that much different that Austin this week.

No sane person is "worried" about her shoes, they are APPALED at her lack of social skills and compassion for people who are losing everything, including their lives.

she is completely out of touch with reality and was more concerned about how she was going to look. Normally, I don't care what she wears but this went beyond a questionable fashion choice. This was about her lack of compassion.

That is exactly the point that some people seem to miss.

Mostly I think we are laughing at them. The cluelessness here, on several levels,is epic

It isn't surprising that she had a change of shoes on the plane.

And we just look petty even discussing this during a disaster of such proportions.

The photo of her shoes was certainly trending on Twitter during the time it took them to reach the airport from the White House, so the probably knew people were mocking her before AF1 even took off. Those shoes were probably snuck in the back door right after they landed. And, what I want to know is, which guy gave up his white shirt for her? That was a men's shirt she was wearing.

Most people understand that jobs require appropriate clothes. Melania made "disaster review" her job when she accompanied the president to Texas. She was dressed inappropriately for the job - to such a laughable extent it was impossible not to notice.

If she doesn't want to be scrutinized, she should stay out of the people's business. She can stay home.

These people are Sociopaths.

How come Michelle Obama was able to take on the mannerisms of the Queen of England and ignore them...

while Melania Trump whines like a spoiled and vapid prima donna?

Although the admirable and up-lifting Michelle Obama isn't anywhere near this uncouth nouveau riche monstrosity. They may as well come from different planets rather than different parts of the world.

Nobody CARES what she's wearing. We're laughing at what she's wearing. That grifter is just part of our great national embarrassment, aka The Clown Car.

She's the frikken clueless, heartless republican Queenie all decked out in designer clothes, and doing a freaking sicko photo-op when real human beings are in real desperate needs.

So republican Image Whiners can just STFU with their complaints about REAL news.

After eight years of catty comments about bare arms and mom pants, I'm not inclined to listen to Republicans mewling about critical comments about the Third Lady's inappropriate sartorial choices. I guess we should be grateful she didn't go with her thong-and-pistol outfit.

the glaringly inappropriate footwear for a trip to a flood zone.

Just symbolic of how clueless and out of touch she is. But that's no surprise. This is a woman who sold herself
to a con man for the money.

what shoes she "needed" to wear. Out of her collection of the 1000's or so she has...I'll bet she was torn over which pair to wear!

Doesn't matter if she's a mix of Cyd Charisse and an Olympic class gymnast, balancing perfectly in those heels. Step in an unavoidable puddle or rivlet on the soaked pavement, you don't know when you're stepping in a small pothole and down you go.

We're just concerned about her well-being...

Me-ow.

Haele

I don't think Donnie has one for Melania, but he'd sure sue someone if she slipped and fell

And it looks like she changed clothes on the plane too, so she only wore those shoes for the photo shoot, thinking they were a good idea. sheeeesh!

Obviously Melania was expecting admiration for her chic attire.

I find it hysterically funny that Melania's White House staff accuse the media of what they and she are so obviously guilty of.

I'm sure some of her ardent supporters will be emulating that outfit for themselves.

silly wearing them to a flood. She is FLOTUS. People will comment on what she wears just as they commented on her photo when she was wearing nothing at all.

that whatever these people do, I think I can do that better? I like a President who's smarter and cooler than me. And my Wife has never had to defend what she wore.

about fashion....says the person who isn't concerned about anything else.

So that she doesn't wear stilletos to tour Fucking flood damage.

Float-US to a fucking flood. Tone deaf staff.

They must think everyone else is just like them, and they don't understand that sane, normal people can handle more than one subject at a time, without obsessing over just one thing.

However I appreciate her providing comic relief.

This is a truly wonderful photo. Substitute a be-ribboned parasol for the aviator glasses, and a huge hoop skirt for the stiletto heels and we have a Southern Belle.

Melania become Melania. Look away, Dixie land.

Trump himself doesn't even look like a plantation owner however. He looks more like the overseer coming in for a look-see after the lower 400 acres have flooded.

May be appropriate, if Putin did in fact buy our country last November and put Trump in charge.

Has she or her office done anything newsworthy that I missed?
