This is just the weirdest news day ever.
As we told you earlier, Melania Trump visited a detention facility in Texas and asked what she could do to help kids reunite with their parents.

But BEFORE that– as in, on her way there– she was spotted wearing a controversial jacket that said, “I really don’t care. Do U?”

As I saw it, there were three possibilities.
A.) Melania is a master level troll and the message is basically a middle finger to MSM.
B.) Melania just liked the jacket and didn’t really think the messaging through.
C.) Melania actually doesn’t give a rat’s and wants everyone to know it.
It has to be one of those. I was going with option A or B. I was hoping for A, buuuuuuut I figured it’s more likely B.
I never thought President Trump would weigh in on #Jacketgate, but yep. He did.
“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!

POTUS steps on the statement FLOTUS Comms Director made earlier today that there was no hidden message in the jacket. People should know that Mrs. Trump closely follows her press mentions and her husband’s press mentions and will often flag stories for him. https://t.co/tsrpi7KIA6
