For some reason, it isn't showing up for me despite the fact that I did put the Twitter link in when I posted.

EDIT: I can see it on my iPad, so I think it has something to do with my ad blockers.

Wow, I hadn't realised that politicians joined in - I thought it was just Fox News idiots, and some other networks made the unwise choice of not just laughing in their faces every time they mentioned it. What jerks Republicans are.

It was bizarre then, but it seems even more so today given the daily disasters of the trump administration. Yes, they should have laughed in their faces. Grr.

Michelle wore a sleeveless dress!! Also shorts!! But it is just fine for the current "first lady" to have been a nude escort, introduced to tRump by Epstein?? In the Epstein investigation, Mrs. tRump should be deposed, asked how SHE knew Epstein?

There must be thousands of others who think Obama looked exceptionally sharp in that suit!

He looks GREAT in anything he wears. Remember the dinner jacket in the UK? tRump looked like 10 pounds of crap stuffed into a 5 lb. bag.

"the classiest first lady, ever" Yeah, right, Frankie. Maleria looks bloated in that dress. Also, one of her fake boobs is lower than the other one.

I'm tired of the unspoken rule that the POTUS must only wear solid navy or pin-striped navy suits that seems to have taken hold (black for formal wear). I'm pretty sure Reagan was photographed in other colors (even tweed, maybe?) More formal speeches? Dark colors may look better. Otherwise, what's wrong with gray, brown, etc.).

It's khaki, it's taupe, it's greige, but it's not truly tan. Tan has a lot more yellow and brown in it.

Stupid Fake News Media! Get yourselves a box of Crayola crayons and do your research!

[I'm kidding here, of course. . .but not about the color misidentification. I never joke about colors.]
