Melania Trump is making a key mistake that makes her less admired than Michelle Obama
Business Insider ^ | Dec 28 2017 | KATE TAYLOR

Michelle Obama trumped Melania Trump in winning over the hearts of the American people.

Michelle Obama placed second in Gallup's poll of the most admired women in the US, while Melania Trump earned the No. 8 spot.

Trump has received backlash for wearing expensive outfits, which can make her seem out of touch with Americans.

Obama, meanwhile, used her fashion choices to represent social and political initiatives.

On Wednesday, Obama earned the No. 2 spot on Gallup's poll of Americans on the woman living anywhere in the world they admire most.

The No. 1 spot went to Hillary Clinton.

Obama became famous for her appreciation of Target and J.Crew fashion during her time as first lady. She used fashion to appear as an accessible yet aspirational "mom-in-chief."

Obama's fashion sense was often used to symbolize her social initiatives. One of Obama's best-known acts as a first lady was establishing the White House garden in 2009. It went hand-in-hand with her efforts to reduce rates of childhood obesity, with initiatives such as the school nutritional regulations.

Obama used the garden as a place to showcase her down-to-earth fashion. Vogue said in its review of Obama's 2012 book, "American Grown," that "throughout the book, the first lady, always beautifully coiffed, wears a different J. Crew sweater to match the season (marigold yellow for summer, argyle for fall)."

Trump, meanwhile, has come under fire for some of her more expensive outfits. The first lady has scaled back somewhat after her clothing choices sparked criticism but her wardrobe is still notably more expensive and has more designer labels than Obama's.

Still, Americans demand substance — not just style. Obama managed to use her fashion choices as a way to make a political statement.

"It was not the “poll” but 10 years of extreme propaganda pushing Michael as the “perfect woman”: all fashionable, all the time, with perfect taste doing perfect things."

Exactly. My sister is a retired journalist, and she drank the Obama Kool-Aid. It's amazing how utterly silly so-called intelligent people can be.

For eight years, every garish designer outfit that Obama wore was praised to the hilt by her fan club (the press). It would be laughable if it weren't so frightening that people with such influence can be so star-struck.

"Was Jackie Kennedy ever told to stop wearing beautiful outfits cause it made her 'out of touch' with ordinary Americans?"

Touché. When she embodies elegance, is was called "Camelot", not being "out of touch." The author is a nitwit who is unfit to be a professional journalist.

“they’ got through to her and she started dressing more ‘designer look’ especially in public.”.......

I’ve seen horse blankets that looked better on horses than anything the Mooooooooooooooooooooooch ever draped on herself. How can anyone compare the Moooooooooooooch to Melania Trump? There is NO comparison.

I lost respect for the Nobel peace prize based on recipients BEFORE Barack won it. I lost respect for most admired woman poll BECAUSE Clinton won it. These MSM types and their propaganda polls seem to dangle fake “honors” as if honor is somehow theirs to give, and as if the think people should prance around on their hind legs trying to “win” such “honors”.

Like the “compost” outfit she wore to that gala to represent the WH garden, or the sleeveless “trash barrel” she wore to represent the school lunches being thrown out in her healthy foods initiative.

I would like to know just what makes Hillary “most admired.” What has she ever done that is noble and/or has improved our lives? Making money through devious means does not count. However, there is a list of negatives that is growing.

Michelle is African

Melania will never be African.

Hillary lost because she was not really African

These type of “polls” are all controlled—outcome based like our indoctrination centers “public skools”-—to control the perceptions, ideas and desires of the masses.

MSM/Hollywood is a CIA-controlled system for moving the Overton Window for the NWO of totalitarian control and for that “happy slavery” of the masses. Those who control the information control the minds.

The elites pychopaths controlled the “news” and the “truth” and “polls” since 1910s so they could flip 2000 years of Ethics (kill God like they did in Europe) to the Satanic system of Crowleys, where Evil is Good and Up is Down and Men are Women. (Total removal of rationality—the Christian Age of Reason—and destruction of the US Constitution and Rule of Equality under the Law for the evil system of elites/State dictate good and evil and unnatural “rights”).

Polls are supposed to control your perceptions (emotions)—and that is all the psychopaths want to accomplish, so you are isolated, atomized and don’t fight them and the satanic, unconstitutional direction they have been taking us since 1913, when they set up an unconstitutional system for us taxpayers to pay for our own destruction and enslavement and for delusions and lies forced onto our children so they stay ignorant for life.

No. I reject the premise outright, and I will not bother to read this idiot's attempt to justify this ridiculous claim. The people who admire Michelle Obama are fools and liars, and I simply do not give a crap what they think about anything.

Seems I recall Ms. Obama wearing sneakers costing several thousand dollars and looking like a trainwreck in ridiculous custom tailored clown outfits that the leftist press insisted were the very height of fashion. It was so blatant that it became a sort of running joke, like The Emperor’s New Clothes. Looks like the leftist press has thrown in the towel on that bizarro-world effort in the face of Melania Trump’s self-evident presence, taste and beauty so now it’s “accessibility.” How much did those frumpy HR Puff’nStuff getups of Michelle’s cost? Let’s go find that frumpy little Chauncey Garinder-esque “designer” who pawned them off on her as well as an unsuspecting world to find out. What was her name? Dark hair, dour little butterball always dressed in black. I’m sure she wasn’t cheap despite her own comical appearance.

Oh, puleeze. Moo looked like she shopped the back alley dumpster behind the Goodwill. Either it was wrinkled, didn’t fit, was not age appropriate, not event appropriate, not FLOTUS appropriate or showed her/his frontal bulge. It didn’t help that she didn’t wear sleeves to cover her linebacker wide shoulders and wide load behind and enjoyed a crotch scratch more than Barry. Then there was the appropriated white chick wigs, the yellow nail polish, the plastic boob belts and plastic bangles and swatches and the narly six toes sticking out of flip flops.

Key “mistake” was being married to Trump. The media has not fawned all over her like it did with Mrs Obama.
