United States First Lady Melania Trump sparked a controversy as she wore a jacket featuring a ‘controversial’ message on its back.
Melania drew flak from the social media after she was spotted in an olive green jacket with a graffiti-style lettering that read ‘I really don’t care, do you?’.
President Donald Trump took on the media portals for criticising Melania’s choice of clothes while visiting the US-Mexico border to meet the children of immigrant families who had been left behind due to Trump administration’s Zero Tolerance policy.
Trump said that the message written on the back of Melania’s jacket refers to the Fake News Media. Melania has learnet how dishonest they are, and she truly no longer cares!”
