While President, Trump donated his salary to charity. Ask Joe if he did?
As you say, it wasn’t my money. Luxury boutiques need to pay rent too.

"Slamming her for not speaking English."

Those morons applaud the unending flow of illegal foreigners over the southern border, who likely don't speak English at all, or don't speak it as well as Melania does. She speaks 5 languages fluently. How many of those a-holes whining about her can do that?

If I were Melania, I’d carry a bag that big, to put all my lingerie in, so the FBI won’t be able to raid my underwear drawers again while I’m away.

"Never, ever would I ever spend that amount of money on something considered bling... I’m sorry to say but anyone who does it has a serious need for attention...."

You're saying that about a woman who is rarely seen in public by her own choice? What an idiotic thing to say. Besides being a high-end model, Melania has had her own jewelry and skin-care business, and is a multi-millionaire in her own right. If she wants to treat herself to quality items, which she may see as an investment, that's her business.

"Outfit Old Bag cost: $42.93"

There I fixed the photo title for you.

Jill looks like Phyllis Diller in that photo. Sorry for the comparison Phyllis.

"hey... if you wanna suck up thats fine, go right ahead... but Really!!!???? over 30 fkn K on a GD purse!!??"

First of all, I don't have to suck up to anyone, but that must be how you operate since you bring it up, and wrongly accuse someone else of doing it. Who am I supposed to be sucking up to? Please advise since you accused me of it.

Secondly, it's not your f-ing money, it's hers, so what the hell are you whining about it for? She earned her money fair and square on her own, and can spend it on whatever the frig she wants. Just because you think it's wrong, doesn't mean a God damned thing. Like me, you're nobody. You aren't her, and will never know her, and have no actual clue how much she paid for it. You simply embrace what the media wants you to believe, and run with it. Stop being so gullible, and go find something truly substantial to cry about.

The other first ladies look like homeless hags compared to her with the exception of Jackie Kennedy who comes in second compared to Melania.

I thought a number of Jackie's stylings were off kilter, particularly her shoes; but the Democrat media gushed no matter what, making snobbish comparison to the "plain cloth coats" of the Republican predecessors as if prudent spending was something to be ashamed of. Her clothing choices set off a period of Americans flaunting affluence (whether they actually have it or not) that has never ended.

But it's quite a stretch to say the other First Ladies looked homeless, or like hags! While Michelle, Hillary and Jill have terrible taste and Eleanor Roosevelt's very poor self-image was reflected in her appearance, I can't think of a single Republican FLOTUS who didn't look dignified and presentable. Laura Bush wore everything well, and Nancy Reagan was always well styled without overdoing it.

The whole idea in DC is to have Capital city style, but not fleeting fashion. Melania's background gives her the ability to straddle both worlds. She often walked a thin line, in my opinion, such as the extremely tight skirt outlining her bum that she wore when meeting Queen Elizabeth—just one inch wider around the hips would have made that skirt still hang well but not look not so revealing— however, Melania was always ultimately dignified, with correct European manners.

Almost everything Nancy Reagan wore 30 and 40 years ago could be worn today by women in serious roles -- she had great taste for classic styles.

Envy is so unattractive. It’s one of the seven deadly sins.

It’s not a $33,000 handbag, but apparently the Post wants to do the class warfare thing.

It really may be. Some of them go in the $40K range, depending on the year and model. The alligator one at the bottom of the first page at that link is listed at $87,500.00. Used.

They found the end of the rainbow price on it and made it sound like she paid that for it. Typical lying media.

See post 111.

I don’t think the Donald cares much about such things. Tbh, his fashion sense could use an upgrade.

He's been wearing slightly narrower trousers since he began campaigning in 2015!

Well, she appears to have the large-size bag, which for some reason is less popular than the small and medium sized Birkins. And it looks like plain white leather, not crocodile or unicorn hide or whatever other exotic leathers they offer. This is not to say that the bag itself didn’t start out as extremely expensive, but not $33,000.

Hermes was selling scarves for hundreds of dollars back in the eighties/nineties, when I worked nearby. It didn’t seem to matter to the customers, who were lined up like it was the scarf counter at Woolworth.

Like Typical Marxists, the articles authors cannot stand wealthy people.

They seek to destroy the wealthy , rather than celebrating them.

Melania earned her money through smarts and entrepreneurship, as well as risk taking. Kudos to her.I hope she keeps carrying those purses and trolling the crap out of these communist idiots.
