MCALLEN, Texas — Melania Trump made an unannounced visit to a Texas facility Thursday to get a first-hand look at some of the migrant children sent there by the U.S. government after their families entered the country illegally.
President Trump said the first lady and daughter Ivanka played a big role in his decision to end the practice of separating migrant children from their parents.
"Ivanka feels very strongly, my wife feels very strongly about it, I feel very strongly about it,” Trump said. "I think anybody with a heart would feel very strongly about it," he said.
That's why it seemed odd that she was wearing a jacket that said in large white letters "I really don't care. Do U?" when she boarded the plane at Andrews Air Force Base.
When asked about the jacket, FLOTUS communications director 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." She added: "(Much like her high heels last year)"
President Trump tweeted about the controversy: "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!"
Still, many are asking why no one on her staff apparently mentioned that might not be the best fashion choice under the circumstances.
