Hurricane heel Melania puts her foot in it, again

Hurricane heel Melania puts her foot in it, again

Oh Melania, you had one job. One task. One message to transmit. Given how you don’t speak, instead you get your clothes to do your communicating for you — generally a zombie Kardashian projection of Jackie O — but what did that Texas costume say? It said ‘red carpet premiere of a disaster movie’. It said ‘Disaster Barbie’. It said ‘Hurricane Chic’. It said, ‘Ugh, no thanks, no way am I mucking in. Not in THESE shoes.’

Melania, what were you thinking? While towering heels say ‘I’m so above all of this’, box fresh white trainers just remind ordinary people of the filth they are currently negotiating as their homes fill with floodwater. Nothing will be box fresh for Texans for quite some time. Were you auditioning for a made-for-TV remake of Top Gun, in your shiny aviators and flight jacket? And wearing a hat that says ‘Flotus’ as people’s lives float past them, as bloated and wrecked as your husband — wasn’t that a teeny bit insensitive? Or had you forgotten who you are? Were you worried that we had? That we needed reminding?
