'I really don’t care, do u?'
- Zara / Melania Trump


First Lady Melania Trump left the country baffled and concerned Thursday when she wore a trendy jacket with a bizarre message on the back that read, “I really don’t care, do u?” as she traveled to meet detained migrant kids in Texas. 

The 48-year-old ex-model was seen walking up the steps of a government jet in the $39 hooded ­olive-green Zara jacket to start her journey to the US border — and she wore it again while deplaning upon her return. 

As photos of the strange statement jacket spread online — with some making meme images that replaced the jacket’s slogan with “Let them eat cake” and others just wondering if she was sending a cry for help — the first lady’s office insisted Melania’s sartorial choice was meaningless

It’s a jacket. There was no hidden message,” her spokeswoman, Stephanie Grisham, told reporters. “After today’s important visit to Texas, I hope this isn’t what the media is going to choose to focus on.”
