The Trump family is stealing a brilliant political play out of Michelle Obama's book
Business Insider ^ | June 12, 2017 | Dennis Green

It seems the Trump family is making an effort to appear more approachable.

After first lady Melania Trump caused a stir when she stepped out in a $51,500 coat during the G-7 summit last month, various members of the Trump family have been seen out in more approachable, everyday brands.

Now it seems Dolce & Gabbana is out, while Target and J.Crew are in.

Ivanka Trump, President Donald Trump's eldest daughter and one of his advisers, was photographed earlier this month leaving her house in the Kalorama neighborhood of Washington, DC, in a dress that was easily identified as a $35 number from Target's Victoria Beckham collection (now on sale for $10).

Barron, the youngest Trump, was photographed Sunday wearing a $30 J.Crew kid's T-shirt in his first walk from Marine One to the White House as a brand-new resident.

Wearing a backpack and playing with a fidget spinner, he looked the model of every taller-than-average 11-year-old. It's made all the more conspicuous because his parents had to figure the family would be photographed during his and Melania's official move to the White House.....

Donald Trump,like most millionaires or billionaires, did not become rich by spending his money on trivial B.S.

_______________________________

Agreed. They don’t spend money on trivial BS...I don’t care what they wear as long as it is appropriate for the occasion.

I disagree with the Business Insider premise... I don’t think the Trumps need to steal anything from Mooch’s playbook!

Ivanka has developed moderately priced perfumes, women’s clothing, shoes, and accessories. The dress she wore when giving a speech at the GOP convention was one of her designs and less than $150.**

Barron is 11 years old...I suspect he probably likes wearing casual trendy stuff when the occasion warrants it.

**Of course the mainstream media will take issue with whatever the Trumps wear/do...they groused about fact that Ivanka wore her own design, so they were critical and said she was just trying to promote her own design. Yet I have no doubt that they would have been critical had she worn an expensive designer gown. Media are like hyenas—constantly howling. Don’t know why people bother to watch them!!!

The Insider finds itself unable to wipe that smirk off its global, round face. No matter the price, the Trump family is certainly more appropriately dressed than the prior tenants of the White House. The First Family is one one which would make our Founding Fathers proud. GOD bless and protect them.

At least the 51K coat wasn’t bought with my money. I’m sure Melania had that coat before she was FLOTUS or paid for it with DJT money, not mine. Unlike Wookie.

There most certainly some treasonous foundation to all of this.

Gee, Trump is a billionaire, and his wife was an international model. And apparently people want them to buy their clothing at Wal-Mart. . . .

Me too!

And like you, I don’t at all care what brands the Trumps wear. It’s their money.

stupid title and maybe author. Do they not realize different events and situations call for different types of clothes?
For the Trumps to be “stealing a political play out of Michelle Obama’s book” they’d have to wear crumpled shorts and sleeveless tank tops with no or ill fitting bra or too tight underpants showing lines.

Trump and Melania spend their own money. Barry and Mooch spent our money.

She would look good in a gunny sack. All the top-name designers in the world couldn't make Michelle glamorous.

The Mooch was renoun for wearing ugly outfits. I know Melania won’t (although she could make any outfit look better).
