If she wore Victorian era dresses she would be a prude. If nude, she would be ‘Kavanaughed’.

[Melania Trump has prompted consternation, some anger and much derision by choosing a pith helmet – a symbol of colonial rule across Africa – as headwear for a brief safari in Kenya.]

These pressholes really need to get a life. Truth be told, they are the ones upset with this. The average person couldn’t give a damn and sees a smartly dressed beautiful woman.

[Burning 105 tons of valuable ivory is criminally stupid.

the sale of that ivory could have funded conservation efforts.]

Yes, confiscating it and selling it off would achieve the same objective. With that added bonus.

Zulu Dawn was rather disjointed. If the same people had made it at the same time, it could have flowed right into Zulu. Oh well. They don’t make them like that anymore.

You know I never thought too much about what the wives of the President’s do, or how they are treated until now.

The rat party will not ever say a kind word about President Trump, his family, or any of his staff.

Such a vile group, the rat party.

Btw, I love the hat. As always, she is stunning.

That hat is cool, as in not too warm to wear in the heat. There would have been NO HAT correct in the eyes of whomever wrote the article: sombrero? Scarf? Straw hat of any color? All would have been wrong to them.

She looks beautiful.

“Madame First Lady, your white pith helmet reeks of colonial oppression and imperialism! And, BTW, I am not culturally misappropriating your Western beret, camouflage, and shoulder lanyard. I wear them as a way of embracing them to empower my people!” /S

“Melania Trump has prompted consternation, some anger and much derision...”

Now the media is horrified by a hat. They dont care about character assasination using baseless allegations, attempted murder of congressional Republicans, or attacks on the first ammendment and the rule of law. They are angered by a hat.

funny thing is, people from Kenya and Africa in general, on twitter, say it doesn’t bother them because they don’t have PC BS over there.

Same hat I wear when I am messing with my honeybees.

I’m a colonialist now?

The Gaurdian needs to send a new thesaurus down to the Kenyan office.
