MELANIA: “Melania Trump, the wife of U.S. President Donald Trump, on Thursday [6-21-18] visited children displaced by the country’s immigration crisis in Texas, only a day after Trump reversed course and ordered families to be kept intact when entering the United States illegally from Mexico. According to her spokesperson, Melania Trump decided to visit detention centers housing children because she deeply cares about the controversial issue. But the jacket the U.S. first lady wore for Thursday’s trip conveyed a different message. ‘I REALLY DON’T CARE, DO U?’ was daubed on the back of her jacket in large white brush strokes. The trip to Texas was the most high-profile public appearance Melania Trump had made since undergoing a surgical procedure for a kidney condition on May 14. Melania Trump wore a hooded green khaki jacket designed by fashion chain Zara as she boarded her flight to Texas in front of news photographers. The first lady, a former fashion model, sometimes gets input on wardrobe decisions from her fashion adviser, Herve Pierre.”
