Her key mistake is that she be White, of Christian background, and Trump’s wife. If she had been non-White, muzzy-loving, and the wife of an America-hating marxist, the media would be worshiping her.
F*ck the media.

Or just making up a story to put something out there.

It is nauseating.

The people who feel compelled and are paid to fawn over this are the worst of all.

Maybe she isn’t interested in being admired by some types of people. Maybe she just wants to fulfill her role. I suspect that Barron is going to turn out better than the Obama girls, unfortunately.

People in this country need to wise up

They won’t. I know

Obama’s husband had been a community organizer. Whatever his salary was (ostensibly) it was not near the multi million Trump’s husband’s was

We can assume Trump pays for her wardrobe from their private resources, reportedly being somewhere in the ballpark of $9 billion. We can assume she doesn’t use resources gained from his being president also because we know that he has refused the salary offered by we the people. It would stand to reason that they would not then reach into taxpayer resources to supply her wardrobe.

She uses their own money.

We do assume that obama took money from taxpayer resources to furnish her wardrobe as well as her $6 million annual leisure travel budget. Her husband’s annual salary w as president was in the range of $425 K

She used our money

But we admire obama more?

If the fake news media would report the truth maybe people would make better judgments

It’s why i never argue with liberals. They are not properly informed. They don’t make the effort

However they do vote

The Painful Irony of Michelle Obama's $12,000 Dress

https://townhall.com/tipsheet/katiepavlich/2014/02/14/the-irony-of-michelle-obamas-10000-dress-n1795008

Katie Pavlich Feb 14, 2014

Earlier this week President Obama and the First Lady hosted French President Francois Hollande at the White House for an official state dinner. It was quite the affair with caviar, quail eggs, rib-eye and chocolate-malted ganache.

In case you don't remember, Hollande is a full blown French socialist who deeply believes the only way to help the poor is by demonizing and soaking the rich. Hollande is currently moving forward with his plan in France to tax millionaires 75 percent after receiving approval from a court. President Obama holds similar views and has repeatedly told the rich they need to "pay their fair share" so that the rest of us can have a fair shot at life.

But it's difficult to take these positions seriously when the people taking them engage in the very lifestyles they claim to abhor.

Take for example Michelle Obama, who wore a $12,000 Carolina Herrera designer gown to the state dinner earlier this week.

Just a few weeks before the dinner, President Obama argued income inequality is a major problem facing our America. CNSNews noticed the cost of her dress is more than the average household income worldwide.

The blue and black designer dress that first lady Michelle Obama wore to Tuesday’s state dinner for the French president reportedly cost between $10,000 and $12,000, according to news media, which is more than the median annual household income worldwide of $9,733, and greater than the median income for households in at least 87 countries, according to data from Gallup.

Just before the dinner, Michelle Obama tweeted out this photo of her dogs at the dinner table dining on crystal and fancy china.

With Mizz ObaMao, everything is a political statement.

Glad she’s gone.

Another desperation piece to add to the birdcage.

“Michelle Obama placed second in Gallup’s poll of the most admired women in the US”

And everybody else was tied for first place.

You are actually pretty close.

Despite scores of listed women, the REAL "winner" of this Gallup poll for most admired woman for the past 11 years, clocking in at over 50% every year, has been these options in the aggregate: Friend/Relative, Other, and None/No opinion. Parenthetically, the aggregate response for the question Most Admired Female for Friend/Relative & Other was higher than that for the listed men in 2016 and 2017. Or, put another way, our alleged American nation of misogyny admires female family members or friends MORE than the male brethren AND any listed male OR female.

Now, I think Melania has been a great First Lady, and Sarah Huckabee Sanders (who was also listed) is awesome. Regardless, if I was called (and if I didn't hang up like I always do on pollsters, or if I even answered a call from an unknown number...), I'd answer either Friend/Relative or Other as someone I admire (and here is the operative word) MOST.

This should be good news to most of us. The highest level of admiration shouldn't go to a politician, musician, movie star, or basically a stranger...that borders on idolatry. I'll stick to Jesus or God on the male side, and my wife on the female side.

That, right there, gives a whole new meaning to elegance (lack of). I’ve seen worn out brooms look better.

Oh what a bunch of hogwash. Mrs. O wore weird stupid looking potato sacks with strange designs. I still cannot understand people who think and say she was a fashion icon. Now Melania always looks inspiring, even in those goofy short pant/long skit thingies she wears.
