.......drinking rosé and criticizing the president
On Monday, the right-wing tabloid The Daily Mail posted an article about the secret Facebook account of Malia Obama, former President Barack Obamas eldest daughter. The site noted that the account, which was reportedly used by Malia during high school and her gap year before college, contained images promoting content like Donald Trump is evil and shared numerous private images of Malia with friends and on vacation. A separate article from the previous night exposed pictures of her drinking rosé wine while vacationing in Miami, just a few months before her 21st birthday.
At once, pro-Trump corners of social media went on the attack, firing up the outrage machine

I saw this last night and my immediate reaction was facist and racist fuckers need to leaver her alone. Second reaction, this is red meat to a nasty base. Third reaction..... they have obviously forgotten all about the McPherson Report. The Daily Mail should know better
Luckily the lighter angels of the internet came to her defence. After all a girl of 20 drinking wine and hating the racist wanker that is President - gotta be a good 80% of that co-hort, right?

Damnit, accented characters don't work in DU reply titles. That should say "rosé". Spoils the whole effect now.

Trashing her father then got elected and trashed everything else. The story is that Ovamas Daughter doesnt like drumpf. Great article.

Malia Obama Once Again Guilty of Being Cool
Malia Obama, a normal 20-year-old person, is trending on Twitter. Why? It could be because a trash tabloid claims she has a social media account in which she mentioned Donald Trump might kind of really suck. It could be because she went on a trip and drank some rosé. It could be because she appears to use a veil of authenticity to legitimize a corrupt administration for her own financial gain. Oh wait, thats a different First Daughter, my bad!...

It's not something people debate. Comrade Dirty Donny* confirmed his evil long ago, and the republicans ratified it.
