Melania Trump Is Fashionable, But She's Unlikely To Become A Fashion Icon Like Michelle Obama
forbes ^ | 20JAN17 | Rachelle Bergstein , CONTRIBUTOR

Today, America gets a new First Lady. She’s beautiful – a former model! – with an impeccable wardrobe and the money to buy all the couture she wants. So why, when President Trump and his family are long out of the White House, and his administration is enshrined in the annals of history, will Michelle Obama – a woman with no connection to the fashion industry before she came into public view – be remembered as the more iconic of the two?

It’s simple. Becoming an icon is about more than just a pretty face and an international platform.

I don’t expect every to say, “O ne Zot, doesn’t she own a mirror!?!” about Mrs. Trump. Or, “Who has those atrocities on the floor of her closet, anyway?”

Her clothes do not make her look fat. She looks fat because she is fat.

These people need to be locked up in a rubber room with no sharp objects and away from the public. Wolf Blizter and Chris Matthews can lead song night.

Wait a minute. Michelle Obama was a fashion icon? Why? Said who? Were they drunk or stoned at the time?

The First Linebacker is a cow. No amount of “fashion” fixes it.

I saw an article about Melania and her fashion and they had images of Michelle too and were going on about how Michelle was so fashion forward. Honestly there is n comparison to Melania who is very elegant and beautiful. The article ended up being a propaganda piece for Michele and then it ended with her 2 daughters and their fashion sense or lack of.

The dress Melania wore at the inauguration was spectacular and she looked beautiful.

“There are none so blind who will not see” is going to be the theme of Presidents Trump’s terms in office I believe.

I know. *Facepalm*

As if Chewbacca was ever a fashion icon.

All the wookies on her home planet are embarrassed about her.

Heck, according to the website, Above Top Secret, Moochelle is so ugly the Wookie Home Planet banished her to planet Earth to get rid of her and set her up with Bath House Barry to keep her/him/it happy. Even Wookie’s have standards.

Having said that, I guaran-damn-tee you that there ain’t a wookies in the entire galaxy that would refuse to “hit it” with Melania.

Help me out here, Laz.
