Agree somewhat with this. I mean this is just some forum so it doesn't really matter here, but the media needs to be laser focused and not let these distraction tactics work

Yup. It's dumb fucking jacket (understatement) to wear for the visit, but hardly something for media to talk about. Though it drives clicks better than actual news/politics I assume. As we can see from the size of this thread. Not that it shouldn't be talked here, this is a video game forum afterall so here it doesn't matter that much if we are console warring, praising Marvel or talking about the jacket.

This isn't "important" but how is it not relevant? If she wore a fucking "kill all the ni**ers" shirt to a fucking NAACP conference would it be dismissed as easily? Would it not be "news worthy"? What you say matters. Even if its on your clothes. Especially if you represent this fucking country.

Fuck them. And I've done my share of caping for Melaina.

Let's get the "trolling" thing out when it comes to Melania. She doesn't know what it is and she wouldn't put that much effort into anything, let alone trolling.

This is what decades of privilege do to you. She lives in another fucking world.

This entire family is dumb, white trash, no matter how much money or what political position they occupy.
yea, fuck that. She's the FLOTUS, there's not a snowballs chance in hell this was an accident.

How is this real?

Like, I'm assuming despite the spin everyone would love to make that this was a genuinely stupid accident. But even if the First Lady herself makes this mistake, you don't have a staffer catch it when she's leaving, or when she's on the plane??? Did they just fall asleep or something? What do you even have aides for other than to prevent PR mishaps like this? I'm still scratching my head here. Like, damn.

This is clearly deliberate. She has a history of being specially aware of what she wears. Remember the pussy bow dress when the pussy tapes came out? She knows exactly what she is doing.

Melania meant to wear the NEVER BE GAME OVER coat to talk to kids in their walled camp. Instead she accidentally wore the coat she wears to family events.

It's a jacket. There was no hidden message. After today's important visit to Texas, I hope the media isn't going to choose to focus on her wardrobe

Are they serious? No one is dense enough to put on a jacket like that unknowingly in this situation. And so if it's deliberate, I guess she really, REALLY doesn't give a shit.

Honestly at this point, I feel like Trump and co. are in a competition to see how much vile crap they can get away with.

I understand what you're saying, but I'm saying that when the media focuses on this instead of other important details of her trip, the public isn't getting informed.

For example, how many stories can you see about her wearing the jacket? And how many stories bother to tell the little detail that the facilities she visited were housing almost all unaccompanied minors and only a few of the children who were ripped from their parents. She wasn't forced to interact with a center full of newly traumatized children but rather minors who crossed without family to separate them from. Most people aren't learning that detail because everyone is focused on the jacket.

For anyone who doesn't think it was intentional, Melania whole business is about her image. As a fashion model, actress, and jewelry maker, she knows marketing inside and out. She surround herself with people what cloths say about her. She does wear any piece of clothing that doesn't further her own self branding. Her name, her image, and the lifestyle she projects is the core of how she makes money.

That jacket is not a fluke. It is both bait and a dog whistle.

I'll give Melania the benefit of the doubt because excuse my disrespect but she comes off as an idiot. BUT nobody around her told her that this jacket wasn't a good look?!
it's your mistake to give her the benefit of the doubt. And you're right, being surrounded by a team of people while clearly having text you dont care while doing a pr photo tour to symoblize caring, and yet, still wore it. Come on people.

She seems dumb enough to have picked out that jacket without realizing it.

We're talking about someone who thought this was fit for publication:

Not exactly a paragon of good taste and prudent judgment.

I think that she may be talking to Donald trump with that Jacket... I do not know why... apparently she wanted to go for a while but he wouldn't let her. That jacket could be exactly what he said to her while arguing about the visit. Maybe she is pushing back...


What am I thinking... she sucks too I guess

I just dont see how even if this was fully intentional, how this admin comes off looking like the victims here. Even if this is some diabolical plan to push the fake news agenda.. I just dont see it actually working on anyone with half a brain.

I think the question shouldn't be whether we care (according to her jacket) but rather: are we surprised?

It's bait.

They know it's a big deal, and they want to have a "gotcha!" moment at the media's expense.

It's like when Melania was MIA for weeks and Trump was doing bizarre stuff like pointing out an empty window.

She's Eurpoean. That basically goes without saying.

The broad strokes of this are bad enough without getting into detail. Especially when this has been the conversation for the last 2 weeks or so. I don't know home much time one could spend on this story anyway. You have to be Olympic class in mental gymnastics to not see how bad this is.

^We should talk about it and make her accountable for it. The media should focus on what's important. If you feel this is worth their time then that's how you feel. We just differ there.

Exactly. I retweeted it immediately. I hope it spreads like wildfire.


I retweeted it too, not that I expect the bots and defunct companies that follow me to care.

There's so much to unpack here.

The cost of it, what it says, why you'd wear something even slightly questionable right now, what even.

this is no accident, we are talking about someone who is obsessed about fashion and her looks.

This is deliberate.

Was she ordered by Donald to do it? who knows but she wore it.
