Melania Trump's Office Responds to Jacket Rumors

From Town & Country

First Lady Melania Trump is in McAllen, Texas today making a surprise visit to the border, and the coat she wore to board her flight from Andrews Air Force Base in Maryland is making headlines.

The military-style jacket is reportedly a $39 Zara garment that has "I really don't care, do u?" printed on the back, according to The Daily Mail.

When asked for comment, the first lady's communications director, Stephanie Grisham, told Town & Country: "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. (Much like her high heels last year)."

Grisham also said she hoped the media would want to report on today's trip, which the first lady asked her staff to plan on Tuesday-two days after Grisham issued the following statement on her behalf about the border issue: "Mrs. Trump hates to see children separated from their families and hopes both sides of the aisle can finally come together to achieve successful immigration reform. She believes we need to be a country that follows all laws, but also a country that governs with heart." (Every living first lady has now spoken out about what's happening at the border.)

Trump planned to tour two facilities, both in McAllen, according to a White House pool report: The Ursula Border Patrol Processing Center, a Customs and Border Patrol/DHS intake center for migrant families, and Upbring New Hope Children’s Shelter, which part of Lutheran Social Services.

Grisham told reporters that the first lady "wanted to see everything for herself…. She supports family reunification. She thinks that it’s important that children stay with their families."
