She IS sending a message. Melania wore the jacket AGAIN.

https://www.cnn.com/2018/06/21/politics/melania-trump-jacket/index.html

(CNN)First lady Melania Trump took a trip to the US-Mexico border on Thursday to tour an immigrant children's shelter, but her trip is getting attention not only for her action, but also for her wardrobe choice before and after the journey.

As the first lady boarded her plane from Andrews Air Force Base, she wore an olive green jacket. The back of the jacket read: "I really don't care. Do u?" in white graffiti-style lettering. Trump was not wearing the jacket when she landed in McAllen, Texas. She re-donned the jacket and wore it when she deplaned back at Andrews Air Force Base despite the media storm that had erupted over her initial wearing.

“I REALLY DON’T CARE, DO U?” written on the back of Melania’s jacket, refers to the Fake News Media. Melania has learned how dishonest they are, and she truly no longer cares"

trump does what he can to disrespect and demean her, in public, at every opportunity. However, I'm over that now! Why would she EVER wear that on her way to see caged children? She is a horrible person and telegraphing it for the world. Frankly, I'm stunned.

She has beamed herself up into arrogant, elitist shit level. She and her wretched-flesh spouse have single handedly stained beyond belief the positions they temporarily fill.

Contrary to their resplendent Reality TV lifestyle drek, there is an expectation of some kind of character other than “cartoon buffoon” that accompanies the privilege of serving a country at that level.

It will take quite a while to recover the respect once they are out.

message are doing guy in WH work for him. We know they don't care--we care. The only way to deal wth guy in WH is through judicial system, rule of law and... when we take the house we must demand impeachment, and if every child separated from family has not been reunited wth parent or a family member. then articles of impeachment must include torture and abuse, kidnapping of children, crimes against humanity.

When Peter Fonda said that her son should experience the same thing that thousands of refugee children are experiencing. Too bad that the refugees don't have their own police force to take care of threats on their lives.

thinking someone had let her use their jacket because she was chilly and that she didn't know about the printed message on the back, but when she wore it again deplaning at Andrews, I realized that the jacket was hers and she was saying Up yours! to the world. I also realized that she and her worthless piece of shit husband are a perfect match.

so there was no good reason for her wearing it.

Until today I had no strong feelings about her one way or another. No more benefits of the doubt from me.
