(14,559 posts)That brooch was the one her mother wore to her father's funeral. That's the one she wore to tea.
The brooch she wore for greeting the Trumps for the first time was the gift from the Obamas, a small green flower.
When she parted company with Don and Melanie she wore the brooch given her by the Canadian people.
But yeah, she was trolling Trump from the bgit-go. Picked that up from Madeline Albright.
