Melania Trump visited Upbring New Hope Children’s Shelter in McAllen, Texas, yesterday. The shelter is part of “Lutheran Social Services of the South,” which is overseen by the Department of Health and Human Services.
The facility houses 55 children, only 10 percent of which were separated from their parents (as the rest were unaccompanied minors). (RELATED: First Lady Melania Trump Makes Surprise Visit to Immigration Facility in Texas).
Melania’s spokeswoman Stephanie Grisham told CNN that Melania went because she “went to see what’s real.” Unfortunately, CNN and most outlets are focused more on the jacket Melania wore on her trip than what she said while speaking at the shelter. CNN’s Jim Acosta tweeted: “FLOTUS spox confirms Mrs. Trump wore a jacket to visit border kids that reads: “I really don’t care. Do you?” Spox says: ‘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.'”

In all fairness, there was a lapse in judgment in wearing the jacket, given that the media is willing to attack the Trumps for literally anything. If they’ll attack Donald for calling murderous gang members “animals,” they’ll infer their own meaning from Melania’s jacket.
But then again, some context is missing here. Melania wore the jacket as she boarded her plane to McAllen, Texas. Once her plane landed, she never wore it when departing to enter the migrant facility. None of the photos you see of Melania wearing the jacket are within even a one-hundred-mile radius of the shelter.
As for the meaning of it? President Trump tweeted this morning that the controversial jacket was to make jabs at the media. “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!”

In regards to this whole “controversy,” I must say; I really don’t care.
This is a non-story, but the president’s response is perfect. He’s not afraid to take on the liberal media, and they can’t stand it. The media is so used to Republicans rolling over that when President Trump fights back they lose their collective minds.
Kudos to President Trump and the First Lady for not backing down.
Geez, I read The Political Insider to get different points of view as opposed to the TV stations. Then I progress to Join the Discussion to read intelligent feedback from its readers. But I see one reoccurring person named TheRealDonaldTrump whom some refer to as Sue Everson. Whoever she / he is, you are a total waste of air. If this forum is your main source of entertainment, you need to know that your opinions are so immature, you are actually overlooked as an annoying kid in the room. Maybe you are ignorant, an adolescent, retarded or just simple minded, but please quit.
BS you are looking for different points of view Abracadebras Snowflake. YOU only want an echo chamber. PI is your perfect echo chamber of ignorant conservaturds. Enjoy.
Sue Everson, they’re looking for you to come pick up your kid. Caught her sneaking into that shelter (one of 90% unaccompanied). She said she only came for the food. Melania took a pic with her at lunch, both with backs to the camera. Your kid’s jacket said, “Me Too . . .!”
HAHAHAHAHA!
Mdic Apparently HATES children. Sad. Not a Christian.
Jim Acosta, CNN’s ignoreant reporter the message is for you. Melania doesnot care about your fake news.
I’m sure it was a play on the MSM, President Trump does have a sense of humor. He will also play to get even.
MOOlania was pissed she was required to take this trip because she really wanted to go shopping.
Have your parents disowned you yet for being completely stupid? They should. Even parents get tired of their offspring being total douche bags.
MOOlania was pissed she was required to take this trip because she really wanted to go shopping.
You’re repeating yourself again Sue Everson, did you forget to take your meds today? The Elgin Mental Health Facility is looking for you, better get back before curfew is up.
If MOOlania wanted to make a statement about the press she could have worn this jacket to a press conference. BUT NO! She wears this to board a plane to review the separated children fiasco of the Trump administration. MOOlania is very clear that she dosen’t give a damn about the kids at the border.
MOOlania’s “I Don’t Care” jacket is saying that she doesn’t give a damn about the separated children on the border. She didn’t look happy she had to make that trip to Texas were she DID NOT tour any facilities.
I’m going to wear my F..k Sue Everson jacket next time I come to Elgin, Illinois. Hope you see it Susy Secongrader, you loser.
My Hat’s off to POTUS and FLOUS. More conservatives need ot stand up against the MSM lies and fake news. This will all backfire on them very soon.
I agree. The poor choice of jacket is ALREADY kicking MOOlania in the ass. I have NO RESPECT for her.
That’s okay Sue Everson, NO ONE on this site has ANY respect for you!
Just don’t call yourself a Christian, Happy… BTW. You got my name wrong
Chances are you have no respect for anyone except the idiot leftists.
I’m sure she’s devastated an idiot like you doesn’t agree with her.
Moolania is an ignorant douchebag. No one cares what she thinks.
