Since CNN’s Jim Acosta is remembering the anniversary of “the day the Trump administration began attacking members of the press,” we thought we’d have a look back at the time where there was a great wringing of hands in the fashion designer community over whether designers should dress Melania Trump, with some Resistance designers preemptively refusing to dress her.
Now that Dr. Jill Biden is the first lady, we’re hearing all about how she’s “bringing American fashion back into the White House.” The press has provided ample coverage of her clothing changes over the past few days, and the New York Post notes that her matching coat and mask for the inauguration concert came with a hidden message.

Welcome back to the world of "every outfit, color, and gesture has a meaning, and none of them is bad if it is a dem".

Let me guess. It's a white coat. Is she trying to say she's a doctor?

It's all white. She's obviously racist.

The message is that no matter how tacky the outfit – the press will swoon.

Is it "no one really cares about her fucking clothes"?
— Meek AF (@CransleyPerfume) January 21, 2021
Nope, the hidden message was literally a hidden message; according to the Post, there’s an inspirational message hand-embroidered on the lining: “Representing the lifelong calling and service of Dr. Biden as an educator is a … quote from Founding Father Benjamin Franklin: ‘Tell me and I forget. Teach me and I remember. Involve me and I learn.’”
Looks like an older woman's second wedding ensemble to me. Call me underwhelmed.

Melania wears a lovely dress on her way to Florida and all the press can say is how much it cost. Contrast that with this fluff piece on Jill Biden healing ppl with her dress. Laughable #lapdogpress

You slammed Melania but praise Jill Biden for what they wear. Jesus christ the media is so biased.

So it’s not the “Mussolini Balcony” anymore?
