Much Ado About Melania: US first lady does it her way (I really don't care. Do U?)

New York (AFP) - A year after moving into the White House with her young son to rejoin her husband, Melania Trump -- this most enigmatic of presidential wives -- demonstrated once more this week she is anything but the typical US first lady.

As the United States grapples with a political crisis sparked by the forcible separation of migrant children from their parents, the 48-year-old ex-model and Slovenian immigrant flew to Texas in a bid to quell the firestorm.

Except her stated desire for children to reunite with their parents as quickly as possible was overshadowed by her choice of plane-boarding attire -- a jacket emblazoned with the words "I really don't care. Do U?"

Instead of feting the rare frugal choice by the wife of a billionaire -- a $39 off-the-peg number from Zara -- the internet was convulsed with outrage over the choice and speculation as to why she wore it.

Every liberal wants to be her. They’re just too ugly, mean, and nasty to get close.

Just like her husband, she wore it to send a message. They know that no matter what she wears it is always seized upon and picked apart with knee jerk reactions. Check out recent stories in Forbes and other places for the design company Zara. Child slave labor, trafficking, and worse? Why did the CEO resign when the December EO was signed? Check out the child models advertising the clothing. Creepy

Exactly.

The difference is, they care...and she doesn’t care about their “finger”.

...I understood immediately that she was sending a message to the MSM...”

Same here - obvious!! Think about this: it could be her way to troll her response to the endless Stormy Daniels garbage from the presstitutes.

I do not care. I never care about unelected persons called First Ladies.

I want their Constitutional rights protected like any citizen. That is all.
