If you didn't think the tone deaf, cruel behavior could get any worse, today The Daily Mail reported that First Lady Melania Trump wore a $39 Zara jacket that reads on the back, "I don't really care, do u?" to visit immigrant children ripped from their parents at the border. She was photographed wearing the jacket while boarding her flight at Andrews airport in Maryland, but removed it before disembarking the plane in McAllen, Texas.
Here, Twitter users' reactions to the First Lady's choice of clothing.
