Media In Disbelief Over Melania Wearing ‘I Really Don’t Care’ Jacket During Border Visit: ‘I…What…How?’
Sometimes, it really does feel like we’re living in a bad YA dystopian novel.
In the midst of a humanitarian crisis completely created by her husband, First Lady Melania Trump traveled down to the Texas border on Thursday to visit some of the facilities holding migrant children that have been separated from their families. The unannounced trip came a day after the president signed an executive order that would allow migrant families to be held together in federal custody while awaiting prosecution for illegal border crossing.
While boarding the plane so she could visit with traumatized children, the first lady decided to throw on a stylish little number — a jacket that read “I Don’t Really Care, Do U?”
For realz.

The jacket that FLOTUS had on as she boarded the plane for Texas: a $39 Zara military jacket that said in large print on the back, "I really don't care, do u?" https://t.co/kNYAIGcdlm

Reporters, journalists and other members of the media were obviously slack-jawed and in disbelief over Mrs. Trump’s choice of fashion.

It's a jacket that says "I really don't care." She was on her way to visit children at the border. We're going to talk about it. https://t.co/0sFbL8cqC5

The Daily Mail is reporting that Melania Trump wore a jacket that says "I really don't care" on her way to visit immigrant children, as in a jacket that LITERALLY HAS THE WORDS "I REALLY DON'T CARE" WRITTEN ON THE BACK WHAT THE FUCK pic.twitter.com/vKkUFZDhpQ

"I really don't care, do u?" is an affront to the English language, as is "be best". I sense a theme.

Wait, wait, wait. I just got wifi to work on my flight. This Melania jacket thing cannot be real. Can't. I'm choosing to not believe it.

The time from "This can't be real" to "Jesus Christ what is even happening?" was swift with this one.

You'd think some staffer would have mustered the courage to recommend a wardrobe adjustment before allowing something like this to happen. https://t.co/k2SUf3RtT1

Melania Trump's spokeswoman, via pool: "It's a jacket. There was no hidden message."
That is true. The jacket literally said in giant letters, "I really don't care. Do you?"

If she cared, Melania would’ve gone to the border to see what was going on BEFORE her husband signed an executive order stopping the separations. We really cannot expect anything good from this FLOTUS – she is just as flawed and uncaring as her husband.
