Melania Trump's RNC fashion: A scary statement

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.

"I wonder what wearing white underwear means now?"

It means you are a white supremacist and are trying to hide the fact.

[Sacajaweau]

It just doesn't go with the "darkness" of Trump's speech.

All of a sudden....every media messenger used the word "dark".

Why not....the US is in the sh*****.

Michelle’s black widow dress?

I'd like that for a Hallowe'en costume.

It’s hard to believe people this dishonest actually exist.

[MayflowerMadam]

I wasn’t a fan of the dress, either. Poodle-esque with those doo-dah puffs around the wrists.

Still, Melania looked stunning in it, and this author is an idiot. How can she not be embarrassed that it actually went to print.

[Fresh Wind]

The print version of philly.com (Philadumpia Magazine) featured a scary cover photo of Hillary along with their endorsement.

They're all in for The Beast.

Even Melania’s skin was white. Choke on it Philly.com.

I don’t see any dark meat on the democrat ticket. Speaks Spanish? Can you spell ethnic misappropriation?

[Sacajaweau]

I don’t think they make white tents...Well, maybe in the Middle East.

"I was going to post more pics, but I’m thinking ‘why do that to FRiends?”

The one posted by maggief with Moochie's dress showing the crotch lines was quite enough. Point made.

[sportutegrl]

The comments at the Philly site are killer.

[RegulatorCountry]

They had to come up with something to knock her appearance, she looked incredible.

[Tax-chick]

Mrs. Trump looked very pretty in spite of the dress, and yes, this author is a total dope.

[apocalypto]

This is truly insane, especially since Ms. Hillary has been caught in white.

This reminds me of Principal Aiddy Phomvisay of Marshaltown High School in Iowa. The school had spirit day, with each grade wearing a different school color. One grade was assigned by the school the color white. One athlete dressed in white and made the W sign for his color. Phomvisay suspended him, accusing him of being a racist.

The parents appealed his crazy decision. No dice, he stuck to it. I think this happened in 2014, and he might have been fired by now. If not, then shame on the school discrtic.

[MayflowerMadam]

I listened to that link. How absolutely snarky!!

[Fresh Wind]

THIS DRESS is SCARY?

Yes. She'd look better without it. /ducking

[Cletus.D.Yokel]

Obama won the election with 51.1% of the ^DNC manufactured^ popular vote.

Just a bit of clarification

[kaehurowing]

Hillary should wear orange at the DNC convention.

[Luke21]

Hillary’s Chinese peasant outfits would scare a dog away from his dinner bowl if it were near the TV set. But somehow the raving Bolshevik who wrote this drivel will think Hillary is “fashionable.”

[MayflowerMadam]

Those hormones that Michael took to become “Michelle” must’ve been generic or something. They did not do their job well.

[MayflowerMadam]

“She’s 1000 times more dynamic than “dull Jackie. No offence intended.”

Jackie was so over-rated. They created the “Camelot” theme, and most people drank the Kool Aid.
