Melania Trump's RNC fashion: A scary statement
Philly.com ^ | 7-19-16 | Elizabeth Wellington

Posted on 07/23/2016 3:02:20 PM PDT by dynachrome

So while Trump appeared flawless on the Cleveland stage Monday night, whether she intended it or not, her all-white ensemble displayed the kind of foreignness that is accepted by her husband’s political party. To many, that outfit could be another reminder that in the G.O.P. white is always right.

Four years ago, Republicans fretted about trying to diversify their base, in the wake of Barack Obama’s clear voter mandate. This time around, with Trump at the top of the ticket, it’s obvious that ship has sailed. On Monday night, Melania Trump was a not-so-subliminal billboard for what’s looking like the Trumpian view of an ideal America.

And if that’s the fashion statement she intended to make, it’s a very scary one.

From the comments:

“The Democrat hack “so called” journalists who spew venom for this rag are so in the tank for Hillary, they will latch onto anything to rack up more smears. When this was a paper, made from pulp from trees, at least you could use it for fish wrap, or use it to hold coffee grounds. Today........technology even deprives us of this, the one useful thing that the Inquirer was once good for.
Elizabeth Wellington is clearly demonstrating that the job she has with the Inky is a result of “social promotion” She clearly is a quota system clown, and based on her true abilities, a more fitting work environment for her would be as the head chambermaid at a Motel 6. Lady...............we don’t like the cut of your kufi. Here’s your homework: Find a map (no, not the SEPTA bus maps you favor)....and see if you can locate three European nations, Slovenia, Slovakia, and Serbia. Pick one.......and move there. Thank you. Even thought this article has revealed a racist moron, this hack will probably be invited to be a member of the faculty somewhere in the African American studies Dept. Another perpetuation of a fraud, masked in academia to spread lies and myths, and distort history.”

That white dress was the fashion highlight of her First Lady career, AFAIAC...

I’m not fond of Melania’s dress but it certainly is civilized looking. And I care so little about fashion that it would be hard to find anyone who cares less!

Since ISIS headchoppers and their lone wolf followers seem to prefer dressing in all black, they’re expressing “diversity” and “tolerance” so we should definitely support that and wear black too, in solidarity.

I’m interested in fashion like I’m interested in jewelry, travel, real estate ... theoretically!

Mrs. Trump’s dress and Ivanka’s were tasteful, low-risk choices for the situation. Only crazy people like this author can say anything other than, “I liked it,” or “I didn’t like it.”

Yes, Elizabeth. Orange is a much better color.

Or the big-ass, frumpy look.

The Media is run by the Gay Mafia. And “girls” tend to get bitchy around girls prettier than they are.

I’m in the minority here, because I don’t think Michelle Obama is bad looking. She just dresses horribly, has bad posture, and usually has a miserable expression. You’d think all the upmarket vacations would make her more cheerful, but they don’t seem to ...

What’s Bill going to wear when he speaks Monday night? Depends? Oh wait, he’ll probably be locked in a safe house with male guards, a couple dobermans, and WiFi access to his usual brand of entertainment.

She’s been wearing winter-weight clothing in mid-July. Strange.

Maybe it’s the air conditioning. My mom always has a jacket with her in the summer in Florida.

Yup. The unwashed again expressing class envy of a pretty woman.
