President Donald Trump and his lovely wife Melania are currently in the midst of a European
tour which first saw the pair attend the NATO Summit in Brussels. But as soon as liberals
saw what Melania was wearing when she boarded Marine One, a meltdown of epic proportions
ensued.
President Donald Trump, accompanied by First Lady Melania Trump, embarked on a European
tour this week to attend the NATO Summit in Brussels. Trump’s objective at the summit
is to pressure other members of the alliance, which was established in 1949 to counter the
Soviet Union, to pay their fair share.
According to the BBC, Trump has charged that the U.S. is being “taken advantage of”
by other NATO members who consistently fail to meet their defense spending goals, expecting
the U.S. to pick up the tab. Meanwhile, those same countries who fail to spend just 2% of
their GDP on defense are cutting hugely lucrative trade deals with countries like Russia, creating
a massive trade deficit for America. It’s time for the U.S. to stop scratching their
backs when they refuse to scratch ours in return.
Obviously, this week’s NATO Summit in Brussels is very important and quite possibly will
have some serious ramifications. But, instead of focusing on all of this actual news, the
mainstream media would like you to know that Melania Trump wore a designer pair of heels
when she boarded Marine One to kick off the trip. Seriously.
“Melania Trump kicked off her husband’s European tour wearing two different pairs
of sky-high $795 pumps for the trip to Belgium,” reported the NY Post. “Leaving the White
House on Monday, Melania wore an A-line skirt and a prim red sweater paired with ‘So Kate’
Louboutins covered in a pattern inspired by the tan craft paper color of the brand’s
boxes and bags. She appeared to have changed the entire look on the plane and emerged in
another pair of Louboutins — a classic black leather style, which were also 4.8 inches
— and a structured Burberry trench coat.”
For some Godforsaken reason, the usual liberals are melting down over Melania’s shoes.

She should wear those on her hands to keep her husband’s hands away.

@FLOTUS @realDonaldTrump Nice shoes but those poor children. How can you sleep at night?

Good grief! When Michelle Obama was the first lady, nobody gave a damn about her shoes.
Do you recall any conservative outlets obsessing over her Converse or the signature flats she
wore so as not to appear taller and more manly than her own husband? No. When the Obamas
were in the White House, we were focused on the issues. When Obama attended a NATO Summit,
we reported on the NATO Summit, not whatever hideous ensemble Michelle was wearing — and
there were so many hideous ensembles!
Now that the Trumps are in charge, however, the media has reached a whole new level of
petty. Instead of covering the president’s very important overseas trip, they are attacking
Melania’s choice in shoes.
You can be sure of one thing, though: When the press is nit-picking the first lady’s
shoe choice instead of reporting on what’s really going down in Brussels, it’s because
Trump is doing a whole lot of winning they’d rather you didn’t know about.
Think about it. You can bet that if the president’s overseas trip was a failure it would be all
over the news. But the media is wasting headlines on FLOTUS’ heels. If Melania’s shoes are
the worst thing they can find about this European tour, I think we’re in pretty good shape.
