Melania wears 'I don't really care do u?' coat on migrant visit

Middleground said:
I think her intentions are good and noble. Having said that, her sensitivities -- or better yet, her "feelers"-- seem to be lacking. It's one thing that this went right over her head. It's another that none of her people alerted her to the bad optics.

This was planned, without a doubt.

They send her out there, Trump then sends a nonsensical tweet, and then cable news talks about it for the entire news cycle instead of the actual crisis, Wilbur Ross’ corruption, etc etc
 
She boarded a plane with a jacket and its graffiti that can be purchased on the rack for 40 bucks, a pair of tennis shoes, white leggings and pale pink top. She actually looked like millions of moms who drive their kids to school every morning.

She did not wear the jacket to the shelter. The audio/video I have listened from her visit was thanking those who provide for the children and asking questions in feedback how things could be made better.

She has already come out in favor of children not being separated from their parents days before Trump signed the EO. And her spokesperson said this trip was her idea.


If she didn't really care I doubt she would have made a trip to Texas to visit a shelter. A three hour trip to and fro and over 3 hours on the ground.


If she wears stilettos she is wrong. If she wears expensive designer clothes she is wrong. If she wears a ballcap it is a prop. If she looks better than her guests she over did it. Though we haven't had a First lady in my lifetime that looks as good as she does in her clothes, not one Fashion magazine has done a layout on First Lady Melania and her good taste. Not one.

But wear a $40 off the rack jacket with graffiti on the back that just might be the first time the Fashion squad covers her.


By the way this trip was not widely publicized.

Melania has the right to wear what she chooses, but that was a dumb move.

Especially if you are flying you and your 50 person staff across the country to show how much you care.

She says she does care about the children whether you believe it or not. What she doesn't care about is the MSM.

Still, I don't get the I Don't Care shirt

No hidden message, my ass. I'm intrigued by this. A woman of fashion never wears a piece she doesn't mean. I'd love to know her true intention.

probably to cause people with terminal TDS to start a feeding frenzy. Seems to have worked

With 80% confidence I say that this was a message to the haters....she does not care if you think poorly of her.....she runs her life for her and the ones she loves, and she thinks she does it well.

That just makes her sound like a psychopath. If someone met 9/11 survivors with an jacket with a message meant to insult them, would you think that guy was cool?

She did no such thing, she put the jacket on after the event, this is not that thing.

But she knew folks would mistake it as being that thing.

She likes to have a little fun just as DJT does.

With the so-called journalists this time.

Good for her.

And only the cure for TDS is a good dose of Trump worship and mindless devotion, eh? I love that conservative individualism is just worshiping a strong man leader, right wingers did it with Bush Jr. (remember all that stuff about ''you hate freedom if you don't support the Iraq war'') and now they are doing it with it Trump. Conservative individualism is a farce, they just promote collective worship of the latest Republican strong leader.

If a Democrat wore a jacket insulting 9/11 survivors anywhere, conservatives would want that person's head on a pike. Seems like a huge double standard.

Different rules for different folks has long been all the rage with the FAILED INTELLIGENTSIA! set.

Am I to understand that now suddenly it's a problem?

most of us from the libertarian wing of the right don't worship politicians. we see them as necessary evils and judge them NOT on what they can DO for US but what they WON'T DO TO US. we don't fluff or cyber- fellate politicians like those on the left do. We don't see government as the source of all good and the well spring of everything we want. Rather we hope it leaves us alone and protects the country from foreign threats and punish domestic ones.

I understand that you operate on double standards (say you promote freedom and rebellion, but want other sovereign nations to act like the US' vassal states) I am not surprised you have a double standard here too.

Sir, I am making a point here......Dont complain about different rules for different folks acting like this is on the order of a mortal Sin if you have been promoting different rules for different folks with vigor over many many years as so many Modern Morons have done.

That only makes sense if someone intentionally wrote those words on her jacket or gave her the jacket to wear without her knowledge of the words being there.

Wouldn't that be the best case scenario here?

And yet several right wingers demand Trump have zero accountability, if Trump can declare anything he wants to be fake news and you will believe him without looking into that yourself, you are giving him dictator powers, dictators are accountable to no one.

And how Libertarians opposed Bush's Iraq War (because I remember plenty of Libertarians who supported that war) and how support Trump putting these children into detention camps.

Also guys like Stefan Molyneux claim to be Libertarian, but he also believes in race science. I think there is a big pipeline where many Libertarians become alt right authoritarians.

To me, her message was obvious, a big middle finger to the media, but you're right she wore the jacket prior to her meeting and was wearing something entirely different when she arrived in
TX.

I think she genuinely does care about children and it doesn't matter what part of the globe they are located. Do you recall early on in the first months of Trump's presidency Melania went on a trip with the Prez to meet the Pope. While there Melania visited a hospital of very sick children. Our MSM didn't cover it but the rest of the World media did. One little guy she sat and colored with was in dire straits and needed an organ transplant. The foreign media covered Melania leaving there and going to church where she prayed for him and an hour later the young boy had a donor. Whether it has been Saudi Arabia, Israel, Italy, France or China, Melania is seen visiting the children.

Here at home, take for example Christmastime at the White House. The MSM didn't cover it but Melania opened up the White House to underprivileged children to get a sneak peak of all the activities and decorations before it was open to the public. Lots of WH photos were taken with Melania having a good time with a group of kids many of color hugging and giving her some love. Maybe that is why the MSM didn't cover it. She attended several activities associated with children through Christmas 2017 and all was to benefit children. What did our MSM cover? Their disgust in the White House decorations as being creepy when in fact they were beautiful and meaningful.


I could go on and on with examples like how the irreverent MSM behaved during the WH Easter Egg Roll. But why bother. These people in the MSM have an agenda and it is obvious.


The MSM does not cover the First Lady's activities unless they can spin them to trash her nationally. But people in my state Ohio and others knows the effort she has pursued in gathering experts together to understand the opiod/heroin addictions and the effects they have on babies of a mother who is an addict and the best knowledge out there to counter the devastation. Nationally it isn't covered but by state it is.

And why should she care? They're vicious.
