Yeah I know this post will annoy some. But these are the sort of things I don't understand. I see this first photo on someone's Facebook page. According to her comment it shows how classy Trump and Melania are and how low-class President and Michelle Obama are. And in truth Trump and Melania look elegant. And the dress that Michelle is wearing is hideous. But why didn't they contrast the photo of the Trumps with one like this: I shouldn't even go to this woman's page on Facebook but I can't help myself. Ugh eta: I tried to post just the photo on the right of the Obamas, but somehow got both pics. The one on the right is better because you can see her whole dress. Why not contrast the Trumps dressed for a ball with the Obamas dressed for a ball? Never mind, I know the answer.

Well they could post Mrs Obama's bare shoulders to Mrs Trump's bare butt and then decide who is classier.

Can you post the pics you found under hers? I don't understand your question. The first photo I posted, the one of the Trumps next to President Obama and Michelle dressed casually is the one from this woman's FB page.

I do not Facebook (so I do not understand the ins and outs), but can you post the pic on her wall?

That is the tactic of rabid people on both sides of any issue. Find the best of your side and compare with the worst of their's. That way, you "win".

Because it's what people on the internet do. They post snapshots and quotes out of context in order to try to bolster opinions they already hold in order to "prove" their opinions are correct. Look at all the photos and comments about Melania being trapped, wanting to get away from her husband, etc. that completely ignore all the photos of her looking happy and smiling with him. It's like people who sit on park benches and play that game where you make up stories about passersby.

Well, only one of those women has naked pics all over the internet. I'm not much for slut shaming, but...just saying.

I personally don’t care what the Obamas wore. Their own actions had proven they are people of substance and dignity, as a leader and his wife, as parents, as spouses, as human beings. To me, that’s genuine class.

But, just look at the genuine love and adoration the Obamas have for each other in comparison to the Trumps. He looks at her like a possession and she looks like a hostage. Clothes are only a cover not the book.

I think that kind of thing is ridiculous. I don't care if both couples wear gunny sacks, as long as they don't lead the country down the shitter.

I could care less what any of them are wearing. The Obamas showed just how classy they were in their responses to the attending previous Presidents. Did Trump even acknowledge them? Not to mention how insulting his address was to the previous attending presidents. Money most certainly cannot buy you class!

She is suggesting you post a comment on the woman's thread with your photos depicting the Obamas as classy.

And yes, look at all the people, even on this message board, that are experts on how Melania feels in her marriage.

"Rich White Trash".

Just tell yourself that these type of posts reflect far more about the poster than about anyone in the photos/memes/etc. And it's certainly not just fans of trump that do this kind of thing. It's all sorts and it's annoying no matter who posts what. Just like the folks who re-post articles from The Onion and get thousands of people fighting about it as if it's actually real. It reflects on the person who re-posted it in that either they don't check their sources before re-posting, OR that they know darn well they are re-posting fake news but get a charge out of getting people all riled up.

Lol, I *just* had this conversation with someone on Facebook, about The Onion. I don't think that's "fake news". It's satire. To me "fake news" is when a story is fabricated, or it's created on partial lies. The Onion stuff is openly satire. Now, as for the people who actually believe it -- and who don't bother to check to see what site the story is coming from -- well, no comment about them. I always get a kick out of seeing people arguing seriously over Onion stories.

FTR being fairly attractive and slim so that clothes look good on you, is not the same as being "classy"
European mail order brides who marry old, rich businessmen aren't usually described as classy either. Shrewd maybe, but not classy.

I have to say though that outfit isn't exactly one of Michelle's best. I think I actually made a face when I saw it! Proof that even ladies with real class sometimes get it wrong too.
Still beats Melania wearing another naked woman as a cape though...

But for people reading it without realizing that, well, for them it seems more like fake news to me. It's something untrue that they are frothing at the mouth over. Save

But my point is why compare the Trumps dressed for a ball to President and Michelle Obama dressed for some casual event? Why not choose the gorgeous photo of them from their 1st inauguration (the one with her in the white dress) which is comparable to the Trumps' outfits?

You're disgusting. I used to respect you. She only showed the photos...she didn't pose for them. They are there for all to see by a click of a button. We are all adults here. Send your disgust where it belongs..to the woman who posed for the photos who is now your FLOTUS.

You're disgusting. I used to respect you. That's funny. I've always thought of you as a just political troll, as far as I recall we've never interacted in any way so that loss of respect doesn't actually count for anything...but nonetheless, amusing that you'd think I'd care. I love that *I'm* disgusting though - when it's not me that accepted money to do soft porn and to hang out my bits for men to ogle at, that's all on the classy first lady herself...she made her own choices and gets to live with them, and so does Donny boy. He even encouraged the GQ shoot, so if they are both so OK with it, then what's the problem in bringing it up again? Or did it offend your gay snowflake sensitivities having to see some "lady bits" like that when you weren't prepared for them? That's right, she made lesbian soft porn and that's totally fine, however it's the person who reminds people that she did it, who is the "disgusting" one FTR that isn't my meme, it's all over twitter and has been for quite some time and is posted pretty much any time someone tweets about Melania being "classy".

I find the first lady to be extremely classy. I find her artistic photos to be just that...artistic. Michelle Obama, in my opinion, was off limits. So is denigrating the current first lady. No worries though, when you go low, I'll go high.

By "artistic photos" do you mean the ones pjaye posted? That's not art. That's commerce.
