HOLY FUCKING CRAP! Can these people not understand basic manners and basic what is right and what is plainly wrong.
I'm glad she went to see the children, but now I'm wondering how much good did this do for the children, and not President Trumps image.

I understand their strategy now. Send double messages all of the time. Rile up their base, and their opponents, then deny and deflect. I no longer think this is done out of sheer stupidity--they are doing this on purpose.

She's known to select her clothing very carefully.

Well we can only hope it's a message for President Trump, and not towards this disgusting situation.

It's an odd article of clothing for FLOTUS to even have in her wardrobe. Presumably almost anytime/anywhere she wears it someone is going to be offended.
I agree that there is no way she did not intentionally choose to wear this - I am at a loss as to why. Presumably if she did not care, she would just not visit the Migrant Children's Shelter.

Maybe she was told she HAD to go.... If she were grudgingly going, then the jacket statement would be accurate. This was only a few days after having tea with the Queen of Spain and talking about how to make the lives of children better (as her husband's underlings were putting children into cages) |

For whatever reason, it was a deliberate choice. She was a model; clothes are everything.

Yes GG, and she is very careful in how she dresses various situations. Sounds to me like she is sending a message!

I know at least 3 people who were from eastern europe, overstayed visas, then fixed their status later. I think she is sincere. |

I'm surprised she has a jacket that only cost $39.00.

It's probably a stunt to turn her into a "victim" of the meanie "Liberals". This way they can whine and moan about how cruel everyone is to her over "just a coat". It's all a steaming pile of bullshit like this administration and the fucktards who support, defend, & make excuses for it.

I am willing to give her the benefit of the doubt. Trump may have had an intended reason to wear the coat as she left the WH and to the aircraft, but I doubt it had anything to do with the kids in Texas.
It very well could have been snark aimed at her husband knowing he watches Fox News.

I no longer think this is done out of sheer stupidity--they are doing this on purpose. I am thinking the last place she wants to live another six years, let alone today and tomorrow, is the White House. She wants out ASAP. |

I'm glad she went to see the children, but now I'm wondering how much good did this do for the children, and not President Trumps image. I suggest just cool it...It was a response to those...so many...who are always commentating on her wardrobe...what she wears...the appropriatness in their eyes..negative, positive so on a old of a few years $35.00 jacket she answered them.... Had nothing to do with the current situation of the children, the separation... In this I agree with her.. |

Yes GG, and she is very careful in how she dresses various situations. Sounds to me like she is sending a message! Well since this thread is still on going..here's the explanation for the wording on the jacket, already explained on other thread.. Much attention by some media folks on her wardrobe..positive , negative...this is her answer to those focusing on it...the lady does not care..does not give a hoot about those who comment on what type of outfits she wears...and what the say. |

I think she does care that people notice her clothing. Why else would she be so deliberate about her choices? The woman who refused to have her son change schools mid term doesn’t care about children taken from their parents.. |

I believe this was yet another diversion tactic away from the missing children. BTW it was a cheap jacket, one that she might have worn cause it's expendable, this is more reason why I believe it's just yet another diversion tactic.

Maybe she and her hubby had a fight and she put that jacket on and walked away from him so he could read about her feelings.

And Melania wore Manolo Blahniks to view hurricane damage. In case you aren't aware of what type of shoes those are...they are designer heels in excess of $1k per pair.
