"VOGUE asks the question: why can't this administration get anything, even a pair of shoes, right?

[mnhtnbb]

First the now–First Lady (perhaps unwittingly) plagiarizes Michelle Obama in her convention speech, then she takes as her platform a crusade against bullying—when she is married to unquestionably the greatest cyber bully in political history—and now this!

This morning, Mrs. Trump boarded Air Force One wearing a pair of towering pointy-toed snakeskin heels better suited to a shopping afternoon on Madison Avenue or a girls’ luncheon at La Grenouille.

While the nation is riveted by images of thousands of Texans wading with their possessions, their pets, their kids, in chest-high water, desperately seeking refuge; while a government official recommend that those who insist on sheltering in place write their names and social security numbers on their arms, Melania Trump is heading to visit them in footwear that is a challenge to walk in on dry land.

And why, oh why, can’t this administration get anything, even a pair of shoes, right?

Even VOGUE is trashing Melania. I love it. Just love it!

1. My theory is that it is purposeful

It's to get everyone talking about them, not the hurricane. The Orange Buffoon is jealous that that hurrican is getting attention and knows that if he or Melodrama do something outrageous, it will be back on the subject of him again.

4. Makes sense considering how much Trump loves his optics.

2. Melania Antoinette said, "Shoes? They don't need shoes to swim." nt

[ProudLib72]

3. Why?

Because she's a caricature of a stereotype of the perfect trophy wife being used to promote a positive image of tRump's virility and importance. In other words, she isn't real.

[Scarsdale]

15. She is a

little "long in the tooth" for a trophy wife. I think she is shopping for her next "rich" husband.

[GopherGal]

17. Depends on the terms of her prenup

She may not need a second sugar daddy anyway, if she waits out the effect of KFC meals, the "Coke" button and extra desserts on a 71-year-old who eschews exercise.

5. I guess the meeting with Joel Osteen was cancelled then?

6. I think the reason they can't get anything right is due to Trump's narcissism.

The focus is always on self. Melania is the same way. That's how she was able to get dressed the way she did this
morning and not see anything wrong with her outfit. She looked in her mirror and thought she looked great. Her focus
was her reflection and not the reason she was making the trip.

7. Does Melania know how to wear anything but stilettos? nt

[blogslut]

8. I'm a little more unsettled with the round-toed boots that BLOTUS is sporting.

I mean if you're going to don the manly footwear, why not go full-on snakeskin pointy? Them boots are so understated for a such a gaudy man.

EDIT ADD: AND THOSE BOOTS ARE SUEDE! SUEDE! IN A FLOOD!

(I'm very upset. Is he gone yet?)

9. You know it's bad when you've lost Vogue. n/t

10. Using Trump to infiltrate the Terrans was never going to go well.

Some of us can spot fakes.

[TheBlackAdder]

11. It looks like Trump has the wide bathroom stall stance perfected.

12. It's Gotta be The SHOES!
