Melania took the criticism into account😆 and wore trousers with a kick flare starting right from the mid-calf—as a symbol of cautious & measured stimulation of lower-class spending. At the same time, she signaled future militarization with her belted military tunic. #MelaniaTrump #PoliticalFashion

Meanwhile, US First Lady #Melania Trump, though looking more elegant in skinny trousers, may symbolize low spending for the bottom half of the US population, unlike the traditional long, flared-base dress of Chinese First Lady Peng Liyuan! 😆

Low spending is BS. You know that outfit cost more than any “bottom half of the US population” could spend in a year or decade. Clueless about how most of the bottom half of the population searches for clothing in second-hand stores, Consignment stores, Salvation Army, and Good Will Stores. Even

JC Penny is too expensive for the bottom half of the U.S. population. Y’all are clueless to this part of America. I’ve always enjoyed seeing the trends in fashion, but this gaslighting of facts is too much to ignore. Post to your billionaire crowd and leave the bottom of the US out of the insult.

A symbol of liberation: women wearing trousers served as a political statement linked to early feminism, suffrage, and independence. #Melania is boldly showing off her trousers as a socio-political protest manifesto against the backdrop of "tradwives" tendencies in #MAGA & #China.
