I really don't care. Do You?

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.

I really don't care. Do You?
I know that some people, even some of us, are looking askance at her choice, but I just don’t blame her. If I were her, I’d be damn well fed up with having every lift of my eyebrow scrutinized for hidden meaning. And always, with this hateful media, looking for the worst. It looks like they are trying to goad her into saying something against President Trump out of sheer frustration, so that they can either use it against him or poach her for their side. Like they’re trying to emotionally blackmail this woman. I think she’s shown a lot of strength, especially in light of the hateful, hateful things being said against her 12 yo son.
Leftist friends, who I had previously thought were intelligent, have succumbed to the ginned up outrage promoted by Big Media. They have turned into lemmings and I have lost lots of respect for them and their intellect. Sad for me. Some are lifelong friends.
She wasn’t wearing that jacket to imply she didn’t care about the immigrants.
She was wearing it to say she doesn’t care about the opinions of her self-documented/declared enemies(the media/AKA Deep State) about her choice of clothing.
The jacket was her way of giving the media, and the libs...the finger.
While I surmised the reason she wore that jacket with that phrase on it, I also ponder whether it was planted. The ‘print’ on the back of the jacket looks like it was done by hand. Could someone else have painted it on there ?
I agree. It was raining. It was a raincoat. She didn’t wear it to Texas. It was for the media and i wouldn’t have done it but I don’t blame her one bit.
I love that jacket.
Agreed. Good for her.
I applaud her choice and timing.
If she hadn’t worn the jacket, they’d be saying hateful things about her and impugning her motives. If I were her, I feel like I’d want to get something out of it my own way too. It’s not like they’d have said any better of her, or lay off her son, if she didn’t wear it. She can’t even stay out of the limelight without having that be scrutinized for malignant meaning.
I’d love it if thousands of people bought similar jackets and fixed up that saying on the back.
Maybe some enterprising folks could start selling them at Trump Rallies~!!!!!
I lost a few friends over Obama.
They believe all the media lies, one x fried even makes up her own lies about President Trump because it’s fun.
:)
If Obama’s wife had worn one down there, they’d be going for $40,000 on ebay because every woman on the planet would want one. Well, if this shocked the “media” snowflakes, wait until Stormy shows up down there in a G-string.
Best first family ever
I understood immediately that she was sending a message to the MSM. And I LOVE it!!!
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.
