    I can imagine a scenario in which Melania wore that jacket as a way to blow up the photo op her spouse made her do--a way to comply but totally deprive him of the benefit of it. Or maybe she's just a shit.

        That said, I'm at least as interested in her footwear choice. How many official appearances has she EVER done in flats?

        I can also imagine her buying the jacket during the height of the Stormy news blitz. Plus she's a POS

        The woman is a model. She never has to wear the same outfit twice. That she wore it today is very deliberate.

        Plus it's like 90 degrees and when has she ever worn a $39 item if clothing?

        I think it is the LA Times opinion page that has it as "Crisis Actress Spotted At Texas ICE Detention Center". Flawless!

        But there’s no way it meant absolutely nothing. I’ve tried and I just cannot come up with any scenario where that’s the case.

        Even if it meant nothing it meant something. That she and her staff are incompetent and unprofessional.

        That may be true, but it didn’t mean nothing. I’ve been almost protective of Melania up till now. She wore it in hot, humid, Texas. Then wore it off the plane in DC - still hot - after she knew the internet had erupted. She’s not known for $39 jackets. So purposeful.pic.twitter.com/NdCXoNlLBq

        This message was not about the kidnapped children, this message is for Trump. She would have had to override staff. She knows 'modeling'. This message was no accident. She is screaming. She is coming unglued. Don't be surprised if something very dramatic happens very soon. pic.twitter.com/hTVeLTcCed

        I had the same initial hope, but I am convinced she did it to distract & gin up outrage about something dumb rather than the big terrible fact that hundreds of kids may be permanently separated from parents.

        I think you are right- its a shiny object to throw to the media. Already there are FOX-types complaining that libs are complaining about her wardrobe.

        I don’t know what to make of yesterday. I have no doubt she wore the jacket for a very intentional reason. I don’t think it was directed at lack of care for children but what was the message? #wemayneverknow
