Trump: "We have our own Jackie O today, it's called Melania"

Trump puts 'Melania T' on similar footing to 'Jackie O'
The president made the comparison while also defending his planned change to the Air Force One paint job.

WASHINGTON — President Donald Trump says his wife, first lady Melania Trump, is an icon on the same order of Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis.

Trump made the comparison Friday as he defended his decision to change the iconic Air Force One paint job devised under the former first lady's watch in the 1960s on the next version of the presidential aircraft due to enter service in 2024.

Trump tells "Fox & Friends," ''You know the baby blue doesn't fit with us," noting he plans to replace it with a darker navy and the gold stripe along the aircraft with one in red. He says: "That was Jackie O and that's good, but we have our own Jackie O today, it's called Melania."

It really does harken back to GWB's reference to Laura as "the lump in the bed," an object rather than an actual person.

He actually believes that he is on the same level as JFK...if JFK had been a draft-dodging, cowardly business loser with a trail of bankruptcies and a need to pay/bribe women to be seen with him.

such prominent "kidneys". Actually, it's a poor choice for just about anyone - much too busy. The coat would be OK if it didn't have those "look at my boobs" red circles or whatever - it's hard to tell what's going on with her arms in that position.

For someone who supposedly was a top fashion model she doesn't seem to be able to pick out flattering outfits. No way would I trust her to design a paintjob or anything else.

Ordinarily I wouldn't comment on somebody's looks, but when somebody makes that her calling card then she's fair game.
