Is Melania's Jacket Important?

Is Melania’s jacket important?

In case you have been on a desert island, let me explain. Melania Trump, broke with protocol and left the White House yesterday. The rarely seen first lady apparently decided that she needed to get out. She needed some fresh air. But what does a reclusive former soft porn star do when she gets bored hanging out at The White House?  Well, she could go visit those poor immigrant kids that Donald keeps whining about. Donald has been sulking around saying that no one will pay attention to his great accomplishments because of those sobbing child actors down at the border. So, Melania decides that she will just hop on down to Texas and get this issue fixed, so that Donald can get back to complaining about Mueller and praising ruthless dictators. That’s the Donald she loves.

As a former (ahem…cough,cough) fashion model, Melania must make sure that she picks just the right outfit for the day’s outing. If only Michelle Obama had worn clothes with words emblazoned on them so that she could just plagiarize her wardrobe.  But alas, she can’t just keep stealing ideas from Michelle. At least that is what her awful staff keeps telling her. So, she must dig through her own closet to find just the right tacky attire for visiting a bunch of crying babies from some shithole countries. 

After sorting through her various “I’m with Stupid” t-shirts and her “Hillary and Monica both Suck” outfits, she settles on something from her apathy collection. She had many designs to choose from. Here are some examples:

It’s an easy choice though!  The army green jacket kind of makes her look like someone in the military. She puts it on and feels powerful. She above all others has the authority to decide whether this whole family being separated thing matters or not. After all, she had to endure being stuck in Trump Tower while her own little brat got to go to The White House. Donald, that is. She was held in that tower like some forgotten princess while her perfect son, Baron, finished the school year out. She wondered why these peasants were so needy. If she could stand what she went through, then just what is their problem?  She was getting all worked up thinking about it, but the words on the jacket soothed her. “I really don’t care, do you?”  It was perfect.  It said exactly what she felt. And she had every right to feel that way. 

Sadly, as hard as she tried by asking what she could do to help, these people just kept on complaining. Oh well, at least she tried to give a flip.

Now I ask again, is Melania’s jacket important? Does it say something about who we are as a society?  Does it further civil discourse? Does it even matter?

Well, I guess I really don’t care. Do you?
