With the nation’s economic struggles and a heated election just days away, the First Lady, Melania Trump, appears on the cover of *Schweizer Illustrierte,* a Swiss magazine, draped in a $6,595 Dolce & Gabbana coat.

In an age when many Americans are struggling with basic expenses, the Trumps have once again managed to showcase a level of glamor that borders on tone-deaf. The Dolce & Gabbana wool-blend gabardine coat is a luxurious piece, with satin peak lapels, custom flap pockets, and a price tag that could make any middle-class family’s jaw drop. But for the First Lady, this seems par for the course.

For the Trumps, appearances have always been paramount, and Melania’s love for luxury fashion has never exactly been subtle.

But while the former First Lady poses in high fashion tailored to the ultra-wealthy, Americans are watching their grocery bills climb and struggling with record-high inflation, a weakening dollar, and the highest interest rates in decades. Even the once-basic dream of owning a home has become an unattainable fantasy for too many, as rising costs push the middle class further to the fringes.

Yet here she is, photographed in the latest from Dolce & Gabbana, flaunting a price tag that outpaces a year’s rent in many parts of the country.

This isn’t just about a coat. It’s about a family that continues to exude opulence, even as they claim to understand the struggles of the “forgotten men and women.” And yes, Mrs. Trump looks impeccable, styled by Hervé Pierre in leather pencil skirts, Christian Louboutin heels, and Dior blazers.

But every meticulously curated look, every designer detail, underscores just how far removed the Trumps are from the reality faced by so many Americans.

With a recession looming, a glitzy cover spread like this only serves as a reminder that, for some, the idea of “public service” still seems self-serving.

So while Melania poses, wrapped in luxury and oblivious to the financial strain felt by millions, voters might just be wondering: Who exactly does this family think they’re representing? The middle class? Or the designer-clad elites?
