Dateline: Houston, Texas<\/p>\n

President Trump and the First Lady arrived in Houston yesterday to survey the damage wrought by Hurricane Harvey. But the purpose of the trip was overshadowed by reactions to Melania Trump\u2019s footwear, which is obviously of much greater import than a little water damage, thousands of lost houses and businesses, and some dead people. I mean let\u2019s get our priorities straight here. Am I right?<\/p>\n

On the ground at the White House, CNN\u2019s I.M. Amoron reported: \u201cMelania Trump just boarded the plane in stiletto heels. One has to wonder what she was thinking when she got dressed this morning. It looks to me like she was thinking only of herself as usual. It\u2019s just more evidence of the disconnect. Which is my new favorite word. Back to you, Wolf.\u201d<\/p>\n

\"\"And here in Houston, as Melania Trump arrived at a press conference in jeans and sneakers, CNN\u2019s B. Partisan reported, \u201cAnd here comes the First Lady in sneakers. I mean please. Who does she think she’s fooling with that? She\u2019s obviously slumming and giving a thumb in the eye to the common people. What\u2019s that, Wolf? I can\u2019t\u2026 oh, er, back to you, Wolf.\u201d<\/p>\n

And MSNBC reported that the First Lady showed an incredible lack of empathy by wearing high heels, and an incredible lack of empathy by wearing sneakers.<\/p>\n
