I'm normally pretty apolitical when it comes to first ladies. Laura Bush and Nancy, I rarely ever said a bad word about them.

But fuck me. This!

[lark]

1. Hate filled harridan is bad news.

[pangaia]

134. I think she is just to stupid to even get it.

[lark]

154. She's not very smart, true.

But even she isn't that stupid, she's sending a message to orange assface and America.

[kimbutgar]

2. Are we sure this wasn't photoshopped?

I can’t believe she is that heartless.

[nolabear]

5. We're sure. It's real.

26. The 2ND photo in the tweet is from the retailer

[Liberal In Texas]

139. Apparently the coat is a thing one can buy.

Apparently by a designer or something called Zara, whoever that is.


https://fashionbyjeje.com/really-dont-care-do-u/

Still very stupid to wear it to her photo-op.

[Neema]

174. Zara is a clothing chain notorious for ripping off artists and designers so it's rather fitting

that Melanie would wear their stuff, seeing as she can't give a speech without ripping off Michelle Obama.

[tinrobot]

3. Well, that's certainly one idea she didn't steal from Michelle Obama.

It turns out the previous post from The Hague inviting Trump over was parody

Many bought into that and spread it around

A lot of other news outlets are referencing the Daily Mail but the two I found didn't, so I'm hoping they have independently verified it.

or what it means.

[Glimmer of Hope]

13. Is her stylist trolling her? Wtf?

[panader0]

15. The person on the right is different.

Different shirt, and I believe she wore light colored pants today.
It does look like the same jacket though. Probably costs a lot.
Still, she sat at a desk and didn't tour inside, right?

[cynatnite]

17. That's a model intended to display the jacket. n/t

[panader0]

22. I just read Tommy Carcetti's post.

It's true. She is totally tone deaf.

18. Here's the AP photograph

Link to tweet

[Lars39]

24. I'm on an IPad....I blew it up in edit

and it looks photoshopped, with pixels disturbed all around the letters shown. There’s even a small “e” in the green, all by itself.

[madaboutharry]

64. Her spokesperson confirmed it.

And then asserted that sometimes a jacket is just a jacket.

[Lars39]

78. Saw that! I think we're being psy-opped

[exboyfil]

94. Parse the words carefully

No way this can be real. Did the spokesperson specifically quote the jacket? When did she first put it on? There were photographers everywhere, and I cannot believe that picture from the back does not exist.

[hunter]

116. Those are jpeg compression artifacts... not evidence of "photoshopping."

A poorly manipulated photo wouldn't have them; the edges would be abnormally sharp or have exceptionally smooth gradients.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Compression_artifact

[Lars39]

122. Thank you for that explanation, hunter!

[sunonmars]

25. She really cannot be that tone deaf or stupid, no wait she can, this is just disgusting.

[mcar]

23. I thought that was photoshopped when I first saw it

[frogmarch]

28. I don't like her, but...

if the photo is real, I think she may have been chilly on the plane and someone gave her the jacket to wear. If so, she may not have read what it said.

However, why would she still be wearing it once she got off the plane? It's not cold there, is it?

[sunonmars]

31. She was wearing when she got onto the plane, she doesn't wear other peoples clothe's

[CakeGrrl]

88. That's not a typical jacket someone would have around.

SOMEONE is responsible for making sure that jacket was seen, knowing cameras would be on her as she walked up the stairs - either Melania or the person who provided it to her.

[Cosmocat]

114. Right

They are truly incompetent morons, but there's no one who would have that anywhere near a political environment.

[bullwinkle428]

119. Do you mean like a "kick me" sign taped to the back?

[rockfordfile]

137. What's wrong with you? She is a right-winger. She is a racist republican.

[Achilleaze]

29. Skanky republican values are disgraceful

[Sanity Claws]

30. Why would a grown woman even buy that jacket?

Never mind wearing it on this particular trip

[nmgaucho]

33. A distraction...the MSM needs to stay focused on these kid centers. Keep pushing !!!

[JuJuYoshida]

34. Now imagine if Michelle had worn it........

[LanternWaste]

40. A sleeveless gown was all it took for half-witted criticisms against Mrs. Obama.

On the other hand, a porn spread of a first lady in a magazine is nothing but grace and relevance... if you're a republican (or just a guy (not ALL guys!!!) who pretends Sports Illustrated swimsuit editions are grace and relevance)

She wore it boarding the plane. Different jacket later at the center.

96. You realize the second pic was the model wearing the jacket

From the manufacturer - they aren't both pictures of Melania. Her spokesperson confirmed she wore the jacket

[treestar]

156. Yes and from the side as she board the plane

you can't really read what is written; it could be something different

[catbyte]

142. Why does she wear such ill-fitting clothes? She clearly has "gaposis", a term

my mom used when a blouse didn't fit and gapped at the bustline. Hell, on CNN you could see her bra. No wonder she never wore clothes when she "modeled." They could never find any that fit her.

105. OFFS. There's no nudity. It's her glorification of material wealth (& guns!).

I didn't post her "nude modeling photos." Those are readily available all over the internet. This is not one of them.



But your concern is duly noted.

[SunSeeker]

147. I'm not the one being "sub-par and hypocrital" here.

If you had been able to look past her cleavage, you would have seen what was really shameless about that photo.

[SunSeeker]

150. You're also wrong about what nude photos means.

Google "nude phtotos definition." This is the first result:

Word forms: nudes

1. adjective

A nude person is not wearing any clothes.

The occasional nude bather comes here.

in the nude

2. countable noun

A nude is a picture or statue of a person who is not wearing any clothes. A nude is also a person in a picture who is not wearing any clothes.

He was one of Australia's most distinguished artists, renowned for his portraits, landscapes, and nudes.

76. She took crib notes from a box of rocks when she was in school

Not the brightest bulb in the box. I wonder if she even knows what that says or means.

Assuming she does, this is nothing more than a veiled middle finger from the Trump White House to the majority of Americans who are in the non-Deplorable camp.

[IronLionZion]

79. Did someone set her up for this?

One of her aides is about to be punished hard.

On a related note, a balmy Jun afternoon on the longest day of the year by our southern border isn't exactly jacket weather. Unless she was cold only on the plane and took it off upon landing. I really hope she wasn't being more obvious about her model white privilege in front of less fortunate brown children.

That whole family has to have earned so much bad karma in their lives there's no point pretending to be decent people anymore.

PsyOps.

Trump keeps saying "This is the Democrats' fault."

Ivanka thanks him for ending the policy.

[Tatiana]

82. DOG WHISTLE. This entire cabal is human excrement.

Of course the jacket was intended to send a message... to their white supremacist followers.

Yeah, there's a special place in hell waiting on these evil monsters.

[LiberalLovinLug]

113. Exactly!

It is a blatant "nudge nudge, wink wink" to their reality TV fans.

Then they will put on a faux shock response to any criticism by Dems or the media. "How DARE you imply that a jacket, made by a highly respected designer, has anything to do with making any kind of statement about the immigrant issue?!!!. Isn't it OBVIOUS by her great sacrifice to leave her luxurious penthouse and come to Texas, that she and the President both care deeply about these poor children ripped apart by Democrats?"

I am torn though in what to believe about Melania.

Is she really also a nazi wh*** who is in on their "clever" bait and switch to their fans?
Or is she frightened, or bribed, or threatened into wearing that jacket?
Or is she the simplest of simpletons and is being used like an actual stepford wife to do whatever she is asked without thinking?

[knightmaar]

84. Are we sure this is jerkiness, and not a cry for help?

Because man, does that seem like a suicide note.

[Dave Starsky]

106. I feel the same.

Maybe this is a blinking out T-O-R-T-U-R-E moment for Melania. Maybe she is challenging us all to get up and do something about it.

Because it's pretty blatant.

How do you counter the bad optics of this latest fiasco? He convinces the base that we're just all over reacting to this and then conflates it to us having over-reacted to the rest of it too. Maybe he can even convince them that *they* over-reacted.

I think he's still in damage-to-image control. While this outwardly appears to damage him further, I think he can possibly spin it to his base in this way - at least to those who are looking for a way to forgive/explain him for this.
