21. Ah, remember the joyous days when people were ragging on Mrs. Nixon about her coat?

Richard Nixon got himself into a tizzy defending her, saying she had just an ordinary cloth coat, nothing fancy, and she never would wear anything too fancy.

Man, who knew those would end up being the "good old days"?

Since then, it seems it's the Republicans who like to drag down Democrats for having anything decent to wear, even when it was bought with money they earned, not by digging it out of the people's money. Like Trump does. If they'd worn something from the Salvation Army they would have gotten torn apart for mocking poor people. If they pay for something better they get torn apart. You can't win with these MAGA idiots. You never will.
