In reply to the discussion: Of course Melania would show up wearing an outfit that made her different from the other first ladies [View all]calimary
(83,367 posts)Wearing anything OTHER than black to an important, solemn, and historic event like the funeral of a former First Lady, when everybody else was wearing black with MAYBE one or two exceptions far back in the pews toward the rear of the church - it's not like she didn't know or understand the gravity of the occasion. She just wanted to stand out. And I will remember, and resent her for that selfishness, as long as I draw breath. It's NOT like she didn't know or understand the protocol required of such a gathering that would be broadcast around the world, and involving individuals and personalities known across the globe.
As a former First Lady herself, it's ABSOLUTELY NOT like she didn't - or wouldn't - know or understand. She just had to stand out, and made sure it was REALLY obvious and impossible to miss.
Did your ego get enough of a boost that day, honey?
