I'm still really curious about the First Lady's wardrobe choice on her trip to the border. It's not adding up.

It's safe to say it wasn't an accident. She's very well-known for her taste in clothes and, as a former model, very in touch with fashion. She didn't wear a $39 jacket on a whim. It was hot out and she only wore it when she was getting on and off the plane. She also wore it while walking back in to the White House after the trip.

The statement from her office is that there was "no hidden message." Not long after that, Trump said it was a statement about the "fake news" media.

IF she was told to wear it, why did the first statement say there wasn't a message? Why did Trump need to clarify?

IF she made the choice on her own, what was her point and who was it for?

That was a bit odd, and seems unlike her. Melania doesn't seem to be a fan of making politicized statements in general, she seems to like children, and I've never seen her wear any other cheap articles of clothing made for edgy teenagers.

I vote "borrowed from a staffer without looking because she was chilly", personally.
