No doubt about it–Melania Trump has a nice figure. The question is, though, does she show too much of it for a First Lady?
I’m not talking about her modeling pictures or those old ones tossed around social media. I mean now, today, as she becomes First Lady.
She usually appears in low-cut tops and form-fitting (a bit tight) outfits that emphasize her “attributes.” And she stands like the model she is, so that her ample bosom and curvy behind are emphasized.
Who cares? We shouldn’t, I know. But she represents our government. She needs to understand that perception is now important. Won’t what some heads of state see as a lack of modesty reflect poorly on our President and our country? Many religiously conservative heads of state have trouble just with American women not covering their heads, thinking them immodest and disrespectful. What about the programs to foster children and families she says she wants to promote–will she be taken seriously or as a debutante dabbling in a pastime? Considering her expensive, designer wardrobe (e.g., $3000 Near Year’s Eve dress and costly suits), can she speak for the poor of our country?
All I’m suggesting is that she tone it down a bit, consider the changes as a needed form of diplomacy. Even if daughter Ivanka ends up acting as First Lady for most things, she’ll still be the President’s wife and often appear with him in public as our First Couple.
I’m not being old fashioned or misogynistic. I’m just being realistic.
