This morning, Mrs. Trump boarded Air Force One wearing a pair of towering pointy-toed snakeskin heels better suited to a shopping afternoon on Madison Avenue or a girls luncheon at La Grenouille.
While the nation is riveted by images of thousands of Texans wading with their possessions, their pets, their kids, in chest-high water, desperately seeking refuge; while a government official recommend that those who insist on sheltering in place write their names and social security numbers on their arms, Melania Trump is heading to visit them in footwear that is a challenge to walk in on dry land.
And why, oh why, cant this administration get anything, even a pair of shoes, right?
Even VOGUE is trashing Melania. I love it. Just love it!

(9,426 posts)little "long in the tooth" for a trophy wife. I think she is shopping for her next "rich" husband.

(31,388 posts)The focus is always on self. Melania is the same way. That's how she was able to get dressed the way she did this
morning and not see anything wrong with her outfit. She looked in her mirror and thought she looked great. Her focus
was her reflection and not the reason she was making the trip.

(38,000 posts)I mean if you're going to don the manly footwear, why not go full-on snakeskin pointy? Them boots are so understated for a such a gaudy man.
EDIT ADD: AND THOSE BOOTS ARE SUEDE! SUEDE! IN A FLOOD!
