It's All About Her

It turns out that Melania Trump is just as tone deaf as her husband:

The First Lady shocked many last June when she wore the boldly printed jacket as she visited a Texas holding center where undocumented children were temporarily placed after being separated from their parents.

Many interpreted the jacket as insensitive considering the outrage over her husband’s “zero tolerance” immigration policies.

Initially, the First Lady’s spokespeople said there was no message behind the jacket, but Melania revealed to ABC’s Tom Llamas, during an hour special “Being Melania- The First Lady” that aired Friday, that it was a direct message to her left-wing critics.

Somepone should explain to her the concept of "context". And I just noticed how she's dressed in her safari outfit for the interview. How raj of her.

Digby gets it, even if the First Plaything doesn't:

I'm pretty sure she's being honest about wearing that jacket. It's just that she and her staff are so mind-crushingly stupid that they didn't realize that wearing it to a detention center where her husband's government was holding children who had been forcibly removed from their parents would send a different message.

That's Trumpism. Owning the libs is truly their only motivation in life and it crowds out even the slightest bit of common sense.

Footnote: They make a perfect couple:



Note: If you're not getting the videos of Trump's interview and the one on Rupar's tweet, you can see them at the links. For some reason, they show up when I preview the post, but not when I publish it. Blogger strikes again. They show up fine on Microsoft Edge, so it's Chrome that's at fault.
