Melania: I Wore the Jacket to Tell ‘Left-Wing Media’ That 'I Don't Care'

First Lady Melania Trump said she was sending a message to her detractors, including the “left wing media,” when she wore the now infamous jacket on a surprise visit to immigrant detention facilities, emblazoned with the phrase “I DON’T REALLY CARE DO U?” Asked during an ABC News interview why she wore the jacket, the first lady said, “It’s obvious that I didn’t wear the jacket for the children. I wore the jacket to go on the plane and off the plane. And it was for the people and the left wing media who are criticizing me. And I want to show them that I don’t care. You could criticize, whatever you want to say, it will not stop me to do what I feel is right.” After the image of Trump boarding the plane wearing the jacket vent viral, her spokesman said there was “no hidden message.” But in the interview, the first lady admitted it was “kind of a message” and that she wore the jacket on her way back from her visit “because I see how the media got obsessed about it.” She added, “I would prefer that they focus on what I do, on my initiatives, than what I wear.”
