Melania's jacket was ridiculous

Posted: May 27, 2017

The most memorable moment from the trip in Israel of president Trump and the First Lady was probably that moment at the entrance to the house of President Rivlin.

"Nechama Rivlin, President Rivlin’s wife, welcomed the First Lady Melania Trump at the door. As they were about to walk inside, Nechama whispered to Melania that she will do her best to catch up with the walking pace, but she might be a bit slower because of her medical condition which requires her to use an oxygen tank. Melania took her hand, looked at her and said: “We’ll walk at any pace you choose”. And so they walked, slowly, gracefully and proudly, hand in hand.

That, is the moment I choose to cherish. That silent gesture has neither any political significance nor any colorful tone to it, but it is everything.

It is the hope we yearn for when we speak of peace;

It is the kindness we wish to protect when we speak of defeating terror;

It is the dignity we want to teach when we speak of stopping hate;

It is the friendship we pray for when we speak of our unbreakable bond;

In other words, this gesture encompasses everything that is good, kind and human."

But, this was nice...and I'm saying so.

If that is true, I agree it was the nice thing to do. - I pity her

She has a good heart. She did make the mistake of selling her soul for purchase by Truomp's money. She probably regrets it. I saw the videos where she slaps Trump away. It must be very difficult living with him with all the news about him grabbing women and his weird preferences.

What I find too bad, is that instead of spending of the jacket of the headline "a year's salary" (my salary is less than half of that), that she cannot influence her husband and explain to him what it is to be poor, unable to purchase necessities, and go without health care.

Angry, bitter and jealous lefties. - Give it a rest!

You all look foolish finding fault with Melania and trying to tell her what she should do.

You know what lefties should do. Get a hobby and quit moaning and groaning about all things involving Trump.

What I find too bad is apparently lefties have nothing better to do on a Sunday morning but criticize Melania Trump for "selling her soul".

That's GARBAGE.

If you're born to wealth, it's difficult to see any other lifestyle - anon

[ In Reply To ..]
I give this woman credit for her kindness. As far as your comment of selling her soul - as you know nothing of their relationship, I find it to be ignorant to assume why she married him. Perhaps she did love him? It's not uncommon to fall out of love with someone. She may have married him for the "right" reasons and found him to be not what she wanted. It does happen. Anyway, I admire her for many reasons. The fact that she has an expensive jacket is nothing as she was very wealthy before becoming First Lady.

I admire Melania as well. She has beauty and class - Not sure she is comfortable as First Lady

[ In Reply To ..]
and all the criticism coming at her, her husband and the whole family. Much of that criticism is just plain ugly and should not even be mentioned, such as the cost of her jacket or whether she is in love with her husband.

I just read the biographical hx. Sounds pretty common. - sm

[ In Reply To ..]
She may have forgotten her roots already. I was not impressed when she gave a plagiarized speech at the convention, especially when first she said she wrote it herself and then someone else took the blame. Can't believe anything this bunch says.

Born to wealth? Really? - modelling good fortune

Melania Trump was a daughter of Viktor Knavs, who worked for a state-owned vehicle manufacturer, and was a member of the Slovenian Communist Party, and Amalija, who worked as a patternmaker at a children’s clothing manufacturer. Melania has a sister, Ines, and an older half-brother whom she never met. Trump grew up in a modest flat in Sevnica, but later moved to Ljubljana where she went to the Secondary School of Design and Photography, and later at the University of Ljubljana before dropping out after a year.

Looks like she CAPITALIZED on her exotic looks and married more money.

Melania's jacket and dress was beautiful - too bad leftie losers are focused on hate

Typical leftie loser ugliness.

I'm a leftie but not a loser. I see ugliness - on both sides of the aisle. nm

Taking advantage of people for centuries. Bad choice for Trumps to be ostentatious

Good to know there are lefties (and righties) who see the ugliness on both sides - anon

Because it's certainly there in equal measure.

Not even close. - The lefties hate like no other

group on this planet.

The post would have been nice - if you would have left out

[ In Reply To ..]
the part about the dress. By putting that in you only fuel the flames from the right.

That was a nice story ruined by that statement. I voted for Hillary but have no beef with Melania. From what I see is she is a very good mother and she does have a good heart. She also strongly admired Michelle Obama, who also had a good heart.

Exactly - MT

I was not a fan of either candidate, but to me, anyone who makes an issue of what someone wore a big deal and worthy of a big discussion? Whether it be media or the OP - seriously?

Do you know how ridiculous it is spend/waste time on a post or an article about someone's outfit? Yes, media does it, for sensationalism. But a 'normal' person? Just petty and ridiculous. Her dress was "outrageous"? You need to look up what the meaning of outrageous is LOL

She looked classy and beautiful. That's it.

There is nothing normal about lefties - Angry, bitter and jealous

that those of us on the left are trying to discuss issues and are continually met by posts like this. It would appear that the anger, bitterness and jealousy are priorities of the other side.

I could never envy narrow-minded people on left - for finding fault with Trump and family

[ In Reply To ..]
Discussing issues such as how many scoops of ice cream President Trump is served or the cost of Melania's wardrobe and that Melania sold her soul.

Yeah, that's real important.

Oh yes, another important issue is whether a Trump supporter poster wants a guilty person free because of partisan issues. How stupid is that? Following that another important issue is lefty bragging about tattling to the moderator.

Kind of funny how I have seen the post - about the ice cream

[ In Reply To ..]
several times and it was always posted by someone on the right. I've also seen "tattling" posts just as much by those on the right. I don't tattle, I just ignore them. It's the moderators job to decide what should and shouldn't be posted.

The moderators do not read every post - that is why under options you can report posts

[ In Reply To ..]
And last evening it was lefties reporting posts. Selective reading or memory?

So last night was lefty night, other nights are - righty night

[ In Reply To ..]
Just ignore those that are name calling. They do it for the reaction. If you don't give them a reaction then they can argue with themselves.

That's a lie. The right doesn't report on - posts like the lefties do.

[ In Reply To ..]
That is proven by all the vomit that remains on the board by the left.

A leftie admitted on this very board he/she reports on posts "ALL THE TIME" that he/she doesn't like and bragged on being successful in seeing many of them removed.

The right has much thicker skin than the left. We don't whine and get our feelings hurt like the lefties do.

different poster

Contradiction was the point. THE right on the board - Doesn't see that more exists

[ In Reply To ..]
Started post with original complaint to see if they understood that there are people who can have more than stereotype of left/right.

I understand what you are saying but still - think the original post

[ In Reply To ..]
was ruined by the dress statement.

People of any political party can be civil and point out goods and bads and I personally would have liked to just see the part about the niceness of Melania. That post would have then been liked and commented by anyone no matter who you voted for. Just my opinion though.

I agree. But lefties cannot say anything about Trump - and family without dragging them down.

[ In Reply To ..]
They would explode if they had to compliment Trump or his family without a nasty comment added on. Criticizing Melania for her outfit says more about the poster than anything.

It was a typical snipe from the left and - that is what I saw. Nasty.

[ In Reply To ..]
The outfit was beautiful. Melania is beautiful.

Posters who want to drag her down in their mud are not beautiful.

This post is trite and trifling just like lefties - Everything about Melania was beautiful

[ In Reply To ..]
Too bad you all don't have class and beauty like Melania.

Jealous?

Agree she's beautiful - old and burned out

[ In Reply To ..]
Just don't like her taste in husbands.

Maybe Melania has a closer view of her husband - than nitpicking criticizing lefties

[ In Reply To ..]
Do you suppose she knows the man well and loves him just like the rest of his family?

No I don't think she loves him... - LMT

[ In Reply To ..]
his money yea...him not so much. Come on...it is a marriage of convenience and money... Why else would you marry somebody old enough to be your father?

Some marry for love. Melania - is educated and beautiful

[ In Reply To ..]
She did not need Trump money. She could make it on her own. I'm 99.9% sure she married him because she loved him.

Don't judge everyone by yourself (general).

No she doesn't love him ... - LMT

[ In Reply To ..]
that isn't love and admiration on her face for her husband when she is next to him.

No, - old and burned out

[ In Reply To ..]
I think she married him for his money and the life style he could give her.

I doubt it but once again lefties judge others - by what they do.

[ In Reply To ..]
If I were Melania, beautiful and highly educated, I would not need the lifestyle Trump could offer. I would make it on my own before I married someone I did not love.

Well, hey at least she was wearing clothes.. - LMT

[ In Reply To ..]
we can at least say that about her... Some of the photos out there of her very classLESS and far from beautiful.

Sure, it's pretty.as is she.as was Michelle.and Laura - Pushing it for Barbara...lol

[ In Reply To ..]
And, we as a people are not beautiful if we completely ignore the income inequity in this country. No, I have no use for her life, her jacket, her dress, her Donald, her Barron, her apartment in gold. I do wish they would voice more tecognition that they are privileged, and understand that they are leaders of a country of people who are not like them and never will be.

No Trump fan - but

[ In Reply To ..]
I can't dislike Melania. I watched some interviews with her and found her to be smart and likable. I like to give people the benefit of the doubt before just blatantly criticizing. Wish more people would do the same.

I do believe posters just LOOK at Melania - without listening to her and are jealous

[ In Reply To ..]
I too watched her interviews and looked into her background (speaks 7 languages) and I do admire her.

She is, indeed, gorgeous - anon

[ In Reply To ..]
But there's substance below that beauty, too.

Exactly - it's hard to view her for herself and not her husband. - anon

[ In Reply To ..]
She is stunning physically but also seems to be very kind hearted and generous. She is so happy and at ease with the kids she visits and that says a lot about her. I really do admire her. I was in no way a fan of Obama, however, appreciated Michelle for her intelligence and drive to help others, plus I still think Michelle's beautiful.

I liked Obama charm but no way did I - think Michelle is beautiful

[ In Reply To ..]
A bit masculine but a very nice person. BUT when she came out guns blazing for Hillary she lost credibility. Surely an intelligent person like Michelle knew Hillary was shady to say the least.

Great point about the Hiliary endorsement. - anon

[ In Reply To ..]
Yes, Michelle is definitely not delicate, but I still find beauty in her more sporty build.

Her looks are exotic and unique - which sells

[ In Reply To ..]
she invested in the Donald. It is all about the money.

Personally, I think she looks like a Pekingese wearing make-up. she has nice shape, long legs...but that is not enough when representing our country. which is what the post was about.

I appreciate her compassion for this woman's inabilities. I would imagine she saw some of her older relatives in this woman.

Where Melania is deficit is understanding anyone outside of her rich circle in this country. I am afraid being from Eastern Bloc as she is,that she has been trained to ignore and not make waves over anything that really matters. Thus, why the Donald married her. Interesting, exotic looks, no opinion, follower.

I would take Michelle Obama's brain and analytic thinking, wearing that yellow dress anyday over THIS display.

I think they are usually called doormats but I have found - formerdm

[ In Reply To ..]
that in time doormats leave to. LOL
