Melania Trump Maintaining Michelle Obama's Legacy (barf alert)
Opposing Views ^ | 8/29/2017 | Sarah Zimmerman

Once again, first lady Melania Trump is making headlines for "borrowing" from former first lady Michelle Obama.

Media outlets report the current first lady is lifting a lot of her predecessor's ideas about everything from fashion to policy. Her continuation of Michelle Obama's legacy stands in stark contrast to President Donald Trump, who is doing everything in his power to undo anything put in place by former President Barack Obama.(snip)

Melania Trump isn't just imitating Michelle Obama's style -- she also seems to be continuing a lot of the former first lady's policy initiatives, according to The Associated Press. Trump has kept the White House vegetable garden and is interested in the same issues that Michelle Obama championed during her time as first lady, including women's empowerment, military families and children's rights.(snip)

Jean Harris, professor of political science and women's studies at the University of Scranton in Pennsylvania, said it's easier for Melania Trump to pay homage to Michelle Obama because the former first lady was incredibly popular.

I’m tired of 25 year olds trying to tell me, a 75 year old, about anything. They should shut up and listen to people who have lived it. Any “news” from such an individual should be automatically stamped with “BS”. Sort of like a “rookie stripe” in racing.

...from fashion to policy.

Show me one time...just one time...when Michael wore stiletto heels.
When you can do that then we'll be in agreement.

"...was incredibly popular." ????? Maybe among the mentally ill and perpetually stupid lunatics like this "writer". What idiocy. The racist, America-hating, arrogant, snarky, ignorant, communist, fascist tranny was the Worst Lady. The Moocher was a grifter of the first order. Also, she was a thief of taxpayer money to constantly take her vacays with her useless entourage at taxpayer expense. Good riddance. It is merely unfortunate she isn't in prison for her many crimes.

“she also seems to be continuing a lot of the former first lady’s policy initiatives,”

I don’t recall seeing Michelle Obama on the ballot.

So far the only policy I have heard her talk about is the proper education and lifestyle for her son, how the holidays are going to be spent, and unwavering support for her Husband, the man we all voted for.

Policy Initiatives ? Screw them.

The deranged but funny part:

“Melania Trump, as a former model, has taken a lot of criticism for her towering heels and designer style that some have called elitist and out of touch. Recently, the current first lady seems to have taken some cues from her predecessor and started dressing more like the rest of the country.”

How are “towering heels” and “designer style” elist?

I thought for sure that Melania would be encouraging all the kiddos to become couch potatoes and to gorge themselves with junk food.
Oh well ...

While you are at it-—find a comb & learn to use it.

That rat’s nest hair style isn’t attractive on anyone of any age.

Melania isn't responsible for "keeping" the White House vegetable garden. The White House has a large permanent household staff that maintains the building and grounds. There is a representative plant, tree or garden from every administration since Andrew Jackson, each with a label or plaque. The White House gives garden tours twice a year and hands out booklets with all the presidential families' plantings labled. Sheesh.

Here is Andrew Jackson's tree, now enormous:
