First Lady, Melania Trump, has left the country horridly speechless yet outraged with her fashion choice this Thursday. Donald Trump has separated immigrant families this week, causing thousands of children to be left alone in detention centers in poor conditions. These children are sleeping on mats with mylar emergency blankets, without a clue of where their parents or guardians are. There’s no way every child will be reunited with their parent. Not only is this situation heartbreaking enough, but Melania, a mother herself, clearly doesn’t care.
Melania was seen boarding her plane from Andrews Air Force Base, wearing this jacket. The jacket from Zara reads “I really don’t care. Do u?”. Keep in mind, Melania wore this on her way to the US-Mexico border. Clearly, she wanted to make a statement. No one could cover for her in this case. One can’t say maybe the jacket was an appealing color and she wanted it, because there are thousands of other jackets out there in the same color that don’t have such an insensitive and bold statement plastered on the back.
Everything about this jacket and the situation she chose to wore it in is absolutely unsettling and cold-hearted. Fashion is a choice and we can choose how we dress. Often times, your sense of style reflects your personality or a way to express yourself. I’m not a fan of the president, his wife, or the GOP at all, but this jacket truly brings out how careless those in power could be. To begin with, Melania is a mother to her and Donald’s 12-year-old son, Barron Trump. How could a mother remain emotionless about other children being separated from their parents? It doesn’t matter that they’re immigrants, they’re still children who need their parents. It’s also obvious that she wore this for attention. Her actions speak louder than words, considering she barely speaks at all and this jacket gives us a clear idea of what she honestly thinks of this situation.
Another reason that this jacket is so problematic is that Melania tends to wear more upscale brands. Wearing a jacket from Zara isn’t something she would normally do. Therefore, wearing this $39 jacket from Zara was meant to express how careless she feels towards this entire situation. Obviously, Melania’s fashion choice has made quite a negative impact on everyone. Everyone as in, absolutely everyone, even celebrities reached out with their reactions on Twitter.
Kathy Griffin took to Twitter and said:
Yeah it’s not the same thing @StephGrisham45. High Heels vs wearing a jacket that says “I really don’t care, do u” at a time where the Trumps are being accused of not caring is a big fucking mistake.
Greg Grunberg also tweeted his thoughts:
How can wearing THIS jacket to visit terrified separated immigrant children NOT be on purpose?! This is why the FIRST Family is the WORST Family!!!
