I don't have an issue with what she wore. She respected the culture for the most part by being covered so there is that. The belt cracked me up though. It made me think of the 80's.

Guess I'm a little "sensitive" to fashion this evening. Watched a Raleigh newsbunny in some sleeveless, above-the-knee yellow frock. She looked like a little girl at a birthday party! Truly ridiculous...probably gunnin' for a FUX gig, although she wasn't sportin' enough cleavage.

of his handlers to send a memo on how to treat trump, to get what you want. flatter him, congratulate him, tell him he is better than Obama, don't use big words.

So now Saudi Arabia has weapons that the Obama administration would not sell them. Trump cries we're winning!!

Melania was a grown woman when she chose this life, but I'll bet she'd give anything to be back in Slovenia.

I will not fault her for this outfit, even though I don't like the belt. It was an obvious attempt to comply with social norms in the country she was visiting. She was a guest; she has rules to follow to not upset the status quo. I'm glad she didn't start an international incident over garb.

She's complicit because she doesn't speak out and I don't have much respect for her BECAUSE of that choice. But her belt and her outfits? I don't care much what she wears. I care that she stands by her man. Her man is a crook.
