McALLEN, Texas (AP/KDKA) - First lady Melania Trump boarded a flight to a facility housing migrant children separated from their parents wearing a jacket that read "I really don't care, do u?"
The green hooded spring military jacket has the words written graffiti-style on the back.
When asked what message the first lady's jacket intended to send, spokeswoman Stephanie Grisham said: "It's a jacket. There was no hidden message."
Of course social media had several opinions about the jacket.
FLOTUS spox confirms Mrs. Trump wore a jacket to visit border kids that reads: "I really don't care. Do you?" Spox says: "It's a jacket. 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." pic.twitter.com/Bp4Z8n455G

This is on purpose. She has stylists. This is not Melania running out the door "oh let me grab a jacket." It's a photo op for Trump's base. It is a big ????to those who are steeped in outrage over the internment camps. It is a wink to the bigots who support Trump. It is hateful.

It's 78 degrees with humidity of 96% in McAllen, Texas—where Melania visited.

It's 83 degrees with humidity of 62% in DC.
Neither area requires a jacket.
This was deliberate.
Who cares that Melania Trump wore a jacket with, "I REALLY DON'T CARE, DO U?" written on the back?

I mean, it's not like she wore a tan suit.
Mrs. Trump wore a different pale yellow jacket when the plane landed in McAllen, Texas, for a visit to the Upbring New Hope Children's Center, which houses 55 migrant children.
The youthful jacket sharply contrasts with the first lady's typically bold, foreign-flavored wardrobe. In public appearances, the first lady has worn designs by Dolce & Gabbana, Del Pozo, Christian Dior, Emilio Pucci, Givenchy and Valentino, often with daringly high Christian Louboutin heels.
