First lady Melania Trump flew down to the US-Mexico border yesterday to tour one of the prisons where the Trump administration is holding immigrant children against their wills. But it wasn’t the impromptu trip that got everyone’s attention.
FLOTUS boarded her plane wearing an olive green jacket that read “I really don’t care. Do u?” in white graffiti-style lettering.
The $39 jacket is last season Zara.
Many interpreted the jacket as a not-so-subtle “f*ck you” to all those criticizing the Trump administration’s handling of the immigration crisis.
How about we take this to the next level?
Our newsletter is like a refreshing cocktail (or mocktail) of LGBTQ+ entertainment and pop culture, served up with a side of eye-candy.
Afterwards, her staff blew off suggestions that Melania had intentionally worn the jacket to send some sort of message.
“It’s a jacket,” East Wing communications director Stephanie Grisham said in a statement. “There was no hidden message. After today’s important visit to Texas, I hope the media isn’t going to choose to focus on her wardrobe.”
This was later contradicted by Donald Trump himself when he tweeted that, actually, there was a hidden message in Melania’s jacket and it was directed at the “Fake News Media” who she “truly no longer cares” about:
“I REALLY DON’T CARE, DO U?” written on the back of Melania’s jacket, refers to the Fake News Media. Melania has learned how dishonest they are, and she truly no longer cares!

But memers aren’t buying the excuses…

Did she totally forget about “Be Best”?

Actually, I thought Melania was referring to Donnie e.g. I really don’t care about Donnie, Do U?

You really think she is going to dish her bread ticket.

If it was just a coat, she’s tone deaf. If she was talking about the press, EVERYONE missed it so it was a poor choice still.

Melania…the first wife-whore in the White House. Love her naked layout on GQ magazine!

THE WHOLE TRUMP CROWD IS UGLY. ONLY RACISTS AND SOCIOPATHS SUPPORT THEM.

No, President Very-good-brain… Melania does not get nor deserve a pass under the guise of zero situational awareness. Faux-paux my ass, that was clearly inexcusable.
