We need to stop taking the Melania bait.

I feel very certain 45 sent her out in that coat on purpose. Full well hoping everyone would jump on the tone deaf story and change the headlines. It worked. At least for a while. Had the real issue of separating families been less emotional and less offensive it would have gone away.

We have to stop letting him drive the news his way. That is one thing he is really good at.

1. I'll say this about it

At least we can be sure the Third Lady wasn't ripping off something Michelle Obama said for a change.

2. I ignore his mail order bride.

She is beneath contempt.

[ProudLib72]

4. She is not mail order

She came here illegally and worked as a call girl (high class prostitute). That is when the Rump picked her up.

3. THIS

5. Amen

Couldn't agree more.

6. Like you said, it didn't work

I think the reason it didn’t work is because it’s part and parcel of the immigration child abduction and encarceration story. If she weren’t going to see the “shelters” specifically almost no one would have remarked about it except to make jokes about it being a message to Trump.

Circumstances matter. You don’t wear a clown suit to a funeral. That jacket should never have been connected to terrorized children and parents. We’d be stupid and heartless not to react with anger.

7. I do not think it changed the headlines at all. nt

[blue cat]

8. Her image took a big hit. N/t

[JI7]

9. the so called bait backfired. She comes off as the piece of shit she has always been

the issue of the kids is still in the news along with the confirmation that Trump doesn't give a shit about them

[AlexSFCA]

10. she is now viewed as POS fascist worldwide
