Melania Trump Wore An Incredibly Tone-Deaf Jacket & Now It’s A Massive Meme
First lady Melania Trump just visited children currently detained at the U.S border in Texas. While this wouldn’t have been all that newsworthy, the first lady happened to wear a jacket marked with the words “I really don’t care, do you?” at the time.
U W0T M8?!?

This has predictably provoked a massive reaction, with a lot of punters outraged with the FLOTUS’ lack of empathy and awareness.
President Donald Trump has since said the jacket was referencing the “fake news media.” Errr, sure?
“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, it was a rather strange outing to decide to make such a flippant statement. This was at best totally tone-deaf, and, at worst completely heartless.
Of course with any Trump scandal, first comes the outrage… then come the memes.

People on Twitter were quick to customise their own jackets. Let it all out, fam.
This one is stating a simple and unquestionable fact.

Borrowing from iconic women’s famous lines is classic Melania.
