Okay, when I first saw this article, I thought the good folks at Crooks & Liars had been taken in. Could Melania Trump really have worn this jacket when she went to visit little children in the concentration camps:
It seemed obviously photoshopped, and so absurd that even the Onion would never have gone there. But, lo and behold, it is true, and the White House insists that sometimes a jacket is just a jacket, and why would anyone think there is any sort of message there.
I confess, I’m stymied. On the one hand, I can’t believe the White House spin. On the other hand, I can’t believe anyone would be so stupid as to dress her up in that jacket. After all, it would be the first time anyone connected with this administration has told the truth about anything.
I have stated before that I don’t believe any words attributed to Melania are her own creation, but this one has me stumped. Maybe they take turns at the White House, with the chief honchos alternating days that they can put things in her mouth, and today was Stephen Miller’s day. It certainly seems to echo his thinking. If, in fact, Melania actually chose, on her very own, to wear the thing, then what message is the woman who cares so deeply about children trying to send? Maybe it’s some sort of weird cry for help.
Speaking of the Onion and Stephen Miller, check out this article at New York magazine. The Onion really can’t keep up.
