Good fucking lord, Melania.
The first lady made a surprise visit to McAllen, Texas, on Thursday to visit shelters and facilities for immigrant children at the U.S. border. Pre-arrival, however, she did something so deeply bizarre that it would probably get cut from a movie script for being "too unrealistic."
SEE ALSO: Where in the world is Melania Trump?Here, fellow void-screamers, is the choice Melania made. Before Melania boarded her plane to anepicenter of the U.S. immigration crisis, she chose to put on a jacket that reads, in enormous letters: "I really don't care, do u?"
As the Daily Mailreported, the jacket is from Zara, it's sold out, it costs $39, blah blah blah, who cares. That doesn't matter.
(The Mail, bless their hearts, also included a classic "get the look" section in their article; however, we would caution against "getting the look" under these particular circumstances.)
The first lady's spokesperson did issue a comment saying "It's a jacket. There was no hidden message." But what matters here is the implication, accidental or not, that First Lady Melania Trump "really [doesn't] care" about what she's doing today -- getting a firsthand look at the horrific and inhumane realities for children and families at the border. It's callous, it's gross, and it's extremely bad optics.

Maybe! I guess that could be true. But I really don't care... do u?
Update:Meanwhile, here's Trump's extremely bad take:
