The lunatic ladies on the left continue to hate Melania Trump, seizing any opportunity to excoriate her out loud and in print. The First Lady's most recent sin was boarding Air Force One, bound for Texas with the president to view the devastation after Hurricane Harvey, in stiletto heels. This blew a lot of people's minds, although admittedly small minds, like the teeny one inside the fashion editor at The Washington Post who declared Trump's footwear an obvious example of a self-aggrandizing lack of compassion, writing, "Trump is the kind of woman who
refuses to pretend that her feet will, at any point, ever be immersed in
cold, muddy, bacteria-infested Texas water."Yet Melania's decision to change into sneakers mid-flight and arrive in Texas appropriately shod still did not win the approval of the obnoxious Robin Givhan, whose petty, self-righteousness sickened me most mornings back when I lived in DC and read her column over breakfast. Melania's sneakers were just too damn white for Ms. Givhan's taste, giving rise to her observation: "There was no suggestion that Trump would be flat-footed in the muck. She is the kind of woman who may listen empathetically to your pain, but she knows that you know that she is not going to experience it. So why pretend?"
I'm just guessing here, but perhaps it's not only the sneakers that are too white to ever garner Ms. Givhan's approval. (The fashion maven is shown at left wearing sensible flats and a colorful shower curtain.) Face it: Melania will never be as black as ex-FLOTUS Michelle Obama, thus she'll never never do anything right. So why pretend?
