Melania jacket with the words “I really don’t care, do you?” stuns the internet on her migrant visit

Melania Trump surprised the world by visiting child migrants on the US-Mexico border Thursday -- but it was her choice of clothing for the trip that stunned the internet: a jacket emblazoned with the words “I really don’t care, do you?” A tone-deaf sartorial decision -- or a hidden message from the first lady? And if so, to whom? 

The images of Melania Trump sporting the olive green khaki jacket as she boarded a flight to Texas -- which immediately went viral -- surfaced as the White House struggles to calm international anger over the practice of splitting migrant children from their parents. Asked about the military-style jacket with large white brush-style lettering -- apparently sold for $39 at Zara, according to the Daily Mail which first spotted the odd choice of outfit -- the first lady’s spokeswoman Stephanie Grisham said “there was no hidden message.”

 “It’s a jacket,” Grisham said. “After today’s important visit to Texas, I hope the media isn’t going to choose to focus on her wardrobe.” “#SheCares #ItsJustAJacket” Grisham tweeted later on, as speculation swirled online. But the president’s take on the jacket told a decidedly different story: “’I REALLY DON’T CARE, DO U?’ written onthe back of Melania’s jacket, refers to the Fake News Media,” Donald Trump tweeted shortly after his wife’s return.
