Melania Trump mocked (again) over her choice of coat

Few people can make international headlines thanks to their choice of coat like Melania Trump. The $12,400 one she just wore to Thanksgiving ceremony is getting ripped on Twitter.

Few people can make international headlines thanks to their choice of coat like Melania Trump.

Jaws dropped globally in June when she visited the hostile US/Mexico border in a khaki Zara jacket with the words “I really don’t care, do u?” emblazoned on it. Which people thought was … a little tone deaf.

She’s done it again this week by wearing an eye-wateringly expensive Dior coat to the White House’s annual Thanksgiving turkey pardoning event.

How expensive? It retails for around $US9,000 ($12,400).

She teamed it with a pair of suede Christian Louboutin boots that brings the total cost of the outfit to around $16,500.

It’s fair to say people on Twitter were not loving the coat. Many people thought the pattern resembled a turkey.

People are comparing her appearance to that of the turkeys. Perhaps SHE was hoping to get the presidential pardon and get shipped off to a farm!! 😂 🦃 #AllHopeGoneGirl #PeasAndCarrotsAndMelania https://t.co/yKzDniajZe

If you want people to take you seriously and stop focusing on what you’re wearing, then don’t dress like a clown. (And I sure hope American taxpayers aren’t on the hook for that $10,000 hot mess of a Dior. Your thousands-of-dollars-a-day hotel stays are quite enough.) pic.twitter.com/YPxTLRK1kC

After the official turkey pardoning, the First Family — including Ivanka Trump and her husband Jared Kushner — boarded Air Force One to enjoy Thanksgiving at Mar-a-Lago, their private Florida estate.
