On Thursday, first lady Melania Trump surprised everyone when she went to Texas to learn about the detention centers where young children, who have been separated from their families at the US–Mexico border, are being held.
While boarding at Andrews Air Force Base in Maryland for the trip, FLOTUS was photographed wearing a jacket that says "I REALLY DON'T CARE, DO U?" and people certainly took notice.
Officially, a spokesperson for the first lady said, "It's a jacket. There was no hidden message."
But really who knows?
What is she thinking?
Since we live in the Age of Meme, an image of the jacket sold by the retailer Zara was quickly altered to spread alternative messages.

Or this.
Wow, pretty brave of Melania to wear this
Or perhaps she was attempting to take down capitalism with fashion!
I can't believe Melania's wardrobe choice. Bold move.
Or she was trying to convey a ~secret~ message about her husband...
Made a new coat for Melania Trump. Hope she wears it.
Or send a message to his administration...
