So apparently Melania's jacket was a statement against "fake news".

Sigh.................

1. Weak sauce

[EndGOPPropaganda]

2. So Fox and Limbaugh: the only fake propaganda news

[Initech]

18. *Trump voice* Real news!!!!

Everyone else is fake news!

[EndGOPPropaganda]

31. Goebbels voice "Fake news, Lugenpresse, same"

Goebbels and Trump use the same words, directly translated.
Fake News - 2018 Trump
Lugenpresse (lying press) - 1930s-1945 Goebbels

3. His bullshit is the spawn of bullshit...

Who the hell would believe that?

[SammyWinstonJack]

4. Whatever he says. Fake human.

[flibbitygiblets]

5. Your wife says otherwise, assclown

Bet that happens a lot eh spanky?

[RhodeIslandOne]

6. Wait, what? She actually wore a jacket that said that?

So she looked like an idiot for that?

[Scurrilous]

7. Yep.

[BigmanPigman]

8. The cable news pundits, guests, etc all agree that it is

a purposeful statement from Melanie but no one can decide who the message was aimed at and what the Hell it is supposed to mean.

Good thing she doesn't make a living working in advertising on Madison Ave since she would starve. How successful is your "statement" if no one knows who it was directed at?

15. Rule 1 of advertising: Know your audience

But no one is asking the right question: Why does the FLOTUS need to advertise anything? If she has something to say, she can come out and say it. This is just some passive aggressive bullshit.

16. Which is why the speculation that it's aimed at 45 makes the most sense:

Her Stepford machinery prevents her from speaking publicly unless it's pre-scripted.

9. Yeah, right.

There are no brainiacs in this administration, or they'd be able to lie better.

[July]

10. Yeah, right.

There are no brainiacs in this administration, or they'd be able to lie better.

[Kingofalldems]

11. Why didn't she just have 'I hate fake news' on her jacket?

Something else going on here.

[lpbk2713]

12. It took him a while to think that one up.

Apparently that's the best he can do. Such a bullshitter. Sad.

[monmouth4]

13. He had that written expressly for his base in case they were angry because he caved, IMO..n/t

[struggle4progress]

14. He just blows whatever smoke drifts into his mind

There's nothing to learn by studying it, and reacting to it has no effect whatsoever

[Initech]

22. Oh I expected worse, much worse.

This is relatively tame by his standards.

[Hoyt]

17. In that case, FOX SUCKS/LIES seems more appropriate.

[GoCubsGo]

19. LOL! And, I'm the Queen of Sheba.

[Texasgal]

20. Whatever the case

stay classy Melanie! GRRRRRRR!

[PSPS]

21. That's just a cover story. The nazis were the target audience. They got the message loud and clear.

[Cha]

23. FUCKING BULLSHIT. The Worst Lady #BeWorst

24. That makes no sense.

But then...whatever.

[lame54]

25. So now it's confirmed - it wasn't that

[Oneironaut]

26. Horrible lie. Does he really expect people to believe this crap?

It's almost comical, but just really sad.

[ailsagirl]

28. It's good that word of his wife's unbelievably inappropriate garb reached him...

he's actually trying to spin it!!

The pressure continues to build

[ailsagirl]

27. Sure it was

[Guilded Lilly]

29. And we all know the best way to show you don't care is...

displaying a message on the back of a jacket that will sure to be covered extensively by the people you say you don’t care about in the first place.

Like people who take the two seconds to post “who cares?” in the middle of a long, specifically themed thread.
Lame, tacky and a lie.

[C_U_L8R]

30. That doesn't even make sense

The dumbass Trumpers really believe this bullshit??? Oh come on.
