President Donald Trump says his wife Melania was attacking the news media when she wore a jacket that read “I really don’t care, do u?”.
The First Lady wore the jacket as she travelled to and from a facility housing migrant children separated from their parents.
“I REALLY DON’T CARE, DO U?” written on the back of Melania’s jacket, refers to the Fake News Media. Melania has learned how dishonest they are, and she truly no longer cares!

The jacked caused a commotion on social media, which President Trump responded to by tweet.
He says the slogan “written on the back of Melania’s jacket, refers to the Fake News Media”, adding: “Melania has learned how dishonest they are, and she truly no longer cares!”
Today’s visit w the children in Texas impacted @flotus greatly. If media would spend their time & energy on her actions & efforts to help kids – rather than speculate & focus on her wardrobe – we could get so much accomplished on behalf of children. #SheCares #ItsJustAJacket

Asked earlier what message the first lady was trying to send, Mrs Trump’s spokeswoman Stephanie Grisham said: “It’s a jacket. There was no hidden message.”
Ms Grisham underscored that message in a tweet with the hashtags #SheCares and #ItsJustAJacket.
