Fashion Designers Are Boycotting Melania Trump. Shouldn't Bakers and Florists Have the Same Right?
Reason ^ | Nov. 19, 2016 | Stephanie Slade

"As one who celebrates and strives for diversity, individual freedom, and respect for all lifestyles, I will not participate in dressing or associating in any way with the next First Lady," wrote fashion designer Sophie Theallet in an open letter this week.

People magazine reports Theallet, who has designed and donated clothes for outgoing First Lady Michelle Obama numerous times over the last eight years, may not be alone: "A source tells People, 'This has already been going on for months. Designers wouldn't lend to Melania, Ivanka or Tiffany, so they either bought the items themselves or wore Ivanka's brand. ... There was a lot of shopping their own closets.'"

Personally, I applaud Theallet's design to disassociate herself with the next occupant of the White House. I see Donald Trump as a shameful human being with few redeeming qualities as a leader and even fewer as a person, and if I were a business owner, I too would decline to serve his administration.

It sounds like the impotent protest of a no-talent who has managed to con people into wearing her garbage on the basis of having wrapped tents around the she-ape currently inhabiting the white hut.

What makes these people think that a beautiful; cultured lady like Melania Trump would want to wear their stuff ?

None of the fashion designers in question are up to the task of coming up with something Melania could wear.

I don’t fault them. You either can your you can’t.

No big deal to me.

Take one look at her in those three photos.

Then realize she was not worried about her look, but was worried about his.

There’s this gene in women, and every woman has it.

“No matter what I look like, you are the problem.”

Sorry ladies...

The photo on the right clearly demonstrates the need for the boob belts. That’s rather serious slippage on her right side of whatever was padding her bust line. Duct tape must have de-adhered.

She's just being motherly, it happens when you marry someone as immature as zero, whose gender is ambiguous...

...someone has to make sure there's no dandruff on his shoulders, and tell him how clever he is...

Who in the world would want to wear the hideous garb that this designer designed for the Wookie? Someone would have to work really hard to make clothes that ugly.

Keep calling out the left’s hypocrisy, everywhere and constantly and loudly.
