First Lady Wears ‘I Really Don’t Care, Do U?’ Jacket (Video)

On her way to visit immigrant children being held in detention centers at the border, First Lady Melania Trump wore this jacket. Veuer’s Sam Berman has the full story.

“I REALLY DON’T CARE, DO U?”

When the first lady, Melania Trump, on a surprise humanitarian visit to a children’s shelter in Texas, strode onto her airplane in an olive green Zara army jacket with those words scrawled in faux white graffiti on the back, it sent the watching world into what might be called, with some understatement, a meltdown.

“Insensitive,” “heartless” and “unthinking” were some of the words hurled through the digisphere about the choice.

“It’s a jacket,” her communications director, Stephanie Grisham, said in a statement to reporters. “There was no hidden message.”

She’s right, of course. It wasn’t hidden. It was literally written on the first lady’s back. The question is: Who was the intended audience?
