(45,047 posts)The Trump's disdain for immigrants is literally all over their backs.
How'd that work out for every despot (and their families) ever in history?

(45,047 posts)They want everyone to gang up on Melania to rally their base.
They tried the same with these phony Mexican restaurant visits...
hoping for video of mean screaming liberals.
This shit is so phony and fabricated and mean spirited...
I just don't know how it serves them well. Or how
they can remain in office. The Trumps need to clear out
of OUR White House. So disgraceful.
Agree. That's the first thought that came to my mind. Setting us all up to gang up on poor Melania - but I'm not playing. Keep the focus on the families that need to be reunited.

(45,047 posts)We can share without comment. When they say "I don't care" with a billboard across their back, we ought to believe them. Anyone with eyes will see how awful the Trumps are.

(798 posts)they had her wear the jacket KNOWING it would get media attention. It is possible; and I am just saying the focus needs to be on the issue of reuniting these families, NOT on the tone-deaf jacket. Don't fall for it.

bunny planet
(10,875 posts)She's not being tone deaf.....this is deliberately thumbing her nose at those of us who do care and have criticized them for not caring.....She thinks she's being ironic I guess, since she's there visiting the children (for the photo-op) and we're not....that's kinda sorta supposed to be your job 'Melanie' to CARE....and to think, for a short while I was feeling sort of sorry for her being married to the giant orange pencil dicked buffoon.

(2,807 posts)A wink to the base. To assure the base they still hate brown people.
Its what Republicans do. Like when VP Dick Cheney actually wore a "Staff" hat to the Auschwitz 60 year memorial in 2005. Yes, that's correct. VP of the United States wore an Auschwitz staff hat to a Holocaust memorial.
