But when the cameras are rolling and you’re a 35-year-old woman who should know how much symbols matter it leaves all kinds of uncomfortable questions: What is Ivanka Trump up to, anyway? What is her strange, as-yet-undefined mission in the White House? And, if it’s not too much to ask, where is her stepmother and what has she done with her?
No one envies Melania having to fill Michelle Obama’s shoes — at least some of her reticence is justified. , Michelle Obama set a high watermark in so many areas: mother, wife, style icon, role model to women around the world. She graced the cover of Vogue magazine an unprecedented three times.
Unless Mrs. Trump is personally making hot chocolate for Barron and his friends after school, or is helping him conjugate verbs for his French test, she needs to suit up, face the NYC-D.C. commute, and get in the game.
It only contributes to the worrisome atmosphere of an unstable presidency to have a First Lady who is MIA and a First Daughter — not an actual title, by the way — with an ambiguous but clearly ambitious agenda. As long as the White House continues to explore this strange arrangement without defining it, and without supporting either of these women with the staff required to prevent them from making amateurish gaffes, the world will continue to scrutinize their every move.
It remains to be seen if Ivanka Trump can be a strong presence in her father’s administration — strong in her own right, apart from playing dress-up when world leaders come to call. She has been a brand promoter for so long the transition to public service is bound to be a challenge. Step No. 1 may be getting out of her stepmother’s way.

Funny how these fems have absolutely zero problems with the image of Michelle worshipping Obama like a c$nt slave.

it kills them that Melania makes “big mike” look like a pile of inner tubes. Fashion icon?...that had to wear wigs to have “white girls hair?....White guilt is so bizarre....
Her boobs were definitely protected from high water.
SO awful. I don’t like to make fun of people’s looks but that last photo looks like Herman Munster wearing Liberaces coat.
“How do you write something like that with a straight face?”
Are they talking about Melania, the mother of a well mannered young man, a beautiful woman who has worked as a model, an example of poise and grace, a woman who can speak 5 languages? Michelle is lazy and crass in comparison. And did this idiot writer not get a look at the two women side by side? Michelle must have felt like a gauche ape beside Melania.
That paragraph made me laugh my face off. It sounds like somebody thinks it’s opposite day.
Just to be clear, none of Michelle’s physical failings would even be worth noting if the woman was a freedom loving patriot with a heart of gold. I only call attention to the ugliness of the outside because it matches the ugliness on the inside.
She looked great in the Potus chair.
Barf.
Fill Michelle’s shoes?
We’re talking Shaq to fill those tugboats.
love the photo!
love the photo!
Compared to Ivanka, this witch doesn't even cast a shadow.
Americans elected Trump as president and got Melania with him.
They did not elect Melania as First Lady and get Trump with her.
“Where is the damn hurl alert?!”
I KNOW, I know....wiping coffee off my monitor.....
Oh, yeah. Michelle Obama set a really high water mark. Especially with her fashion sense, as the following link:

Don’t sweat it, they will be fine.
Why am I wasting my life reading this bs?
The sight of a good looking, intelligent, successful, patriotic, young, hetero, white Republican woman in that chair must just freak them out.
Good Lord! 2 Threads in the same day on who is a fashion icon!!!
First—we find out that Whoopi Goldberg is always at FASHION WEEK in NYC....somehow fashion & Whoopi don’t work in the same sentence for me.
Now- here we go again-—MICHELLE OBAMA is a ‘fashion icon’!!! She was the worst dressed First Lady to ever live in the White House. I will remember the ‘toilet paper dress’ from the 1st Inaugural Ball for all of my life. She was caught in tank tops & Madras pattern shorts walking their dog. She got off Marine One is clothes I wouldn’t wear fixing fence on my ranch. I guarantee you those are NOT designer clothes.
To say that Ivanka & Melania have a big bar to hurdle to come up to MICHELLE’S standards is beyond laughable. It ranks right up there with the very best fairy tales......
We have elegant people attached to the White House now who wouldn’t use Michelle’s shorts for dustrags & this press wants to blast them?
We seriously need to purge the media ranks. They are a joke.
They are still counting the votes that were cast for HER.
