64. Melania has no taste

odd for someone with a supposed background in fashion and who hung around in the NYC Vogue circle.

What I do expect - there are probably some designers who created outfits for her in order to get publicity. She's supposed to give those back (or maybe donate them to the Smithsonian or something like that): if she wants to keep them, she has to pay for them. Michelle Obama actually did pay for some outfits created for her that she wanted to keep: all the Trumps seem to be takers, though. I wouldn't mind some prosecutions for accepting gifts over the legal nominal amount.

ETA: as soon as they're gone, I want a camera crew in the White House living quarters filming their decorating style - we can have a national contest to guess the surface area covered in gold (or imitation gold) leaf!
