      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?

          That's not the precise description of my expertise, no. In any case just Czech, as far as that goes.

          She wore stilettos and was criticized for it, and then disembarked in flats IIRC. This HAD to be intentional and a message for someone. And now you know who has tried to say it's about the media?

          From the RNC speech she plagerized to this, I honestly think she is signaling she is under duress.

          I've seen a multitude of explanations about her jacket. Sort of like a Rorschach test.

          I once knew a woman who claimed that as a result of ballet training her Achilles shortened & heels were more comfortable. That was 40 years ago.

          I think we can now safely say we are being trolled. Massively.

          I know! I can't decide if she is a huge troll or had intermittent Stockholm Syndrome and this is her resistance. She is the one I am most interested in when this is all over, what will her real story be?

          I believe just one - after she wore 5 inch heels to go visit hurricane sufferers. But white ones?
