First Lady sends mixed message on migrant visit

-

Melania Trump went to Texas to show she cared about migrant children. Her fashion choice carried a baffling counter-message.

The First Lady wore a green, hooded military jacket from the fashion brand Zara that read “I really don’t care, do u?” as she departed and returned to Washington.

The words were printed in white, in graffiti-style, on the jacket’s back.

When asked what message the first lady intended to send, spokeswoma­n Stephanie Grisham said: “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.”

Mrs Trump changed into a pale yellow jacket before the plane landed in Mcallen, Texas, for a visit to the Upbring New Hope Children’s Center, which houses 55 migrant children.
