Melania Trump Wears a Coat That Says 'I REALLY DON'T CARE DO U?' to Visit Immigrant Children Who Have Been Separated From Their Parents
Melania Trump doesn't say much.
The office of the first lady is a big platform, one that has been used over the years by various first ladies to advocate for such worthy causes as early childhood education reform (Laura Bush), improving healthcare (Hillary Clinton), and supporting veterans(Michelle Obama). In May, Melania Trump formally announced that one of her casues would be anti-bullying. The irony of FLOTUS taking up this cause, when her husband essentially ran on a campaign of bullying and continues to use the office to bully, was lost on no one.
But mostly, Melania stays silent. So we're left to interpret meaning from her facial expressions (she rarely smiles) and her clothes (they're often high-end European designers).
And then there's this: Today, when Melania Trump made a rare official trip to visit immigrant children at the Texas border, she boarded the plane at Maryland's Andrews Air Force Base wearing a military-inspired jacket from Zara with the words "I REALLY DON'T CARE, DO U?" scrawled on the back.

The optics are almost inconceivable, that the First Lady would go visit the immigrant children who have been forcibly separated from their parents by her husband's policies, wearing a garment that literally spells out, I DONT CARE. But there it is. Nothing could be clearer. (Photographed at the Upbring New Hope Children Center in McAllen, Texas, it appeared the First Lady had taken the jacket off on the plane.)
