maybe a rug you would see at The Arts & Crafts Pavilion at the State Fair.

As First Lady of The United States she should have known better than to wear a $51,000 jacket the same week that her husband's administration is putting forth a budget that would cause financial suffering to many millions of Americans. At best it is clueless, and at worst heartless.

So glad that the luxe retail website has already sold out of 51K dollar coats for such needy privileged women.

Well Kathy...gifted or not it was a tacky move by a first lady that refuses to live in the WH and do her job, because frankly...she hates her husband.....instead the city of NY and the tax payers have to protect her in her golden tower...millions every dayum day. THIS at the time her husband is taking away healthcare for over 23M people. He is planning to gut SS and Medicare...he is doing all this so he and his family and the rest of the 1% will get TAX CUTS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

FUG THEM ALL!

...but that nightmare "Floral Jacket" she wore cost about 4 grand less than the median income of the average American family.

Add it up and it makes you laugh out loud to say that the Mulvaney budget is "putting taxpayers first."

as cold and unfeeling. And her fashion choices are awful. I.e. Cocktail dress at meeting with G7 spouses, and the $52,000 jacket worn in Torrmino. Very bad judgment. Anyone taking Bets on if she moves into the White House?

My guess is that she will move to some place in Maryland to make sure Barron is close to his school.

It will probably be the "Trump owned property" that is closest to his school, so we pick up the tab for her security and travel, just like Trump Tower.

I know it's to be after their child finishes the school year.
AFAIK, schools in the NorthEast often finish the first or second week of June.

Next thing, we may hear that the child is going to camp or day camp or some such venue in NY or another location, and she'll have to stand by to transport him ,etc., etc.

Melania moves into a property close to his school. IIRC, Barron's school is 50 miles outside of DC in Maryland and the Trump's will say that such is too long of a daily commute for Barron so Melania 'sacrificed' moving into the white house and instead bought a brand new home that will cost the tax payers millions to secure.

It is not 50 miles outside of DC. It's about a 30 minute drive from the White House to the school.

and reveals very little. I don't despise her, not even for marrying a rich narcissistic sociopath. Since she is so self effacing, I simply find she has as much personality as a department store mannequin.

Save your energy for her husband and his gang of mobsters and Russian stooges.

She clearly despises maggot, instead of doing what any self respecting woman would do she goes along head down silently with his boot on her neck to keep the things and life he gives her. It's not like she'd be a pauper were she to leave.
