I think the First Lady would find walking shoes more practical when going into Houston, but

then maybe she will not be walking too much. Just saying.

Wonder if he water-proofed them? Won't have to worry about blisters since he doesn't walk much. She looks like she consulted her stylist for the latest disaster wear. What two pathetic looking assholes.

okay a couple. of words... f***ing ridiculous, tone deaf and stupid. People are drowning, the 4th largest city in the country is underwater being joined by several other cities and these two idiots.... the very souls of Xian charity and compassion, are going to do what?
Thumbs up?
Watch a football game... walk the catwalk? Is there no one in the west wing who can tell them how their attire and their attitude plays to people who have lost EVERYTHING?

Just remember as this boils you eggs today...all day... that the MSM and the GOP burned down the political career of Dr. Howard Dean for a war whoop after winning a primary.

After the absolute, ongoing atrocity of this man they have yet to BURN HIM DOWN. It is in their power to di it. What's stopping them?

As high those "HEELS" are, she'll be able to see Russia from there? But joking aside, I hope those who affected by the hurricane will receive the help & money to recover. I have a feeling that Trump will tie the wall into the money needed for the rebuilding of all the lives affected.

and smaller bathing suits.

Everyone he controls always looks or says something ridiculous, because he dictates what they wear and what they say.

These would be from the "Boarding AF1 Collection," to be replaced in-flight with something from the "Mingle With The Commoners Collection."

Or maybe she just won't get off the plane at all and let Rumpy go out and inspire the tens of fans with an inspiring speech about how many votes he won Texas by.

It is very likely that she has an available wardrobe with which she will/would travel on AF1. One could easily imagine that she would change during the trip as a function of what she will/expects to be doing.

Really, leave first families alone unless they are actively acting political.

to places where it doesn't really belong. I think she has more sense than to wear stilettos in a flood zone, and I'm sure she has something more appropriate stashed on AF1.

touch up lipstick on her part and snap his fingers while calling a waiter on his part. They have not one clue on how the real world lives. Him in suede shoes and light color pants and her in skinny pants and stilettos to tour a water and mud covered city. Not too bright.
