Too bad it's the wrong war. The doughboys fought in World War I, and D-Day happened in WWII.

Why the women of the extended Trump universe love ’80s fashion

t’s not surprising, then, that much of Melania’s style is deeply rooted in the ’80s. It was an era of maximalism, where every fashion trend seemed to be big: teased hair, loud makeup, and giant shoulder pads that triangulated into super-cinched waists — which, removed from the context of the period, now look like costumes. Mainstream fashion in the ’80s was not about subtlety.

Neither are the Trumps. The president was famously described by the author Fran Lebowitz as “a poor person’s idea of a rich person,” which is to say that Trump’s idea of taste and status has little of the subtlety we expect of truly wealthy people. He is flashy, he is gauche, he plasters his living spaces with shiny gold and lavish marble in a style the author Peter York called “dictator chic,” the design style that borrows from 18th-century French monarchs and covers it with macho decor and high-end brand names.

And it looks terrible on her! Also, what is with her and the belts? They are not flattering to many people and definitely not to her. She is too short waisted for them.

Michelle wears them well, however. The woman who is squatting in her old job does not. I hope Melanoma doesn't run out and buy a copy of Michelle's Star Trek belt.

so you don't notice how bad that color is for her (or at least not as much). And it calls attention to how short-waisted and top-heavy she is. And I continue to marvel at how she can move without tripping - is she mounted on wheels?

If Mel wants to cosplay that's fine - but that seems to be all she does.

The reflection from the carpet is making them look pink. But, yes. She is a moron. Black or white would have sufficed with that assault on the eyeballs that she is wearing.
