00:00Melania Trump's spokeswoman is defending the jacket the first lady's boarded that read,
00:04I really don't care, do you? while boarding a plane Thursday for her visit to an immigrant
00:08children's detention center in Texas. The first lady was not photographed at the detention center
00:14in the jacket. When asked about the message, Melania's spokeswoman Stephanie Grisham said,
00:18It's a jacket. There was no hidden message. After today's important visit to Texas,
00:24I hope this isn't what the media is going to choose to focus on.
00:27Later on Thursday, President Donald Trump tweeted,
00:30I really don't care, do you? Written on the back of Melania's jacket refers to the fake news media.
00:35Melania has learned how dishonest they are and she truly no longer cares.
00:39The jacket is from Zara and appears to be from 2017. It is not currently listed on the Zara website,
00:45but can be found on a couple of style blogs. The first lady's unannounced trip comes a day
00:50after President Donald Trump signed an executive order ending his controversial policy of separating
00:56families that cross into the U.S. illegally at the U.S.-Mexico border. Images of upset children
01:02and stories of families torn apart have made headlines around the world.
01:05Now, this isn't the first time the first lady's choice of fashion has seemed ill-timed.
01:10She also faced heat last August for leaving the White House wearing stiletto heels on her way to tour
01:16a Houston flood zone after Hurricane Harvey, even earning the nickname Disaster Barbie.
01:21And closely following the release of the Billy Bush tape back in 2016, in which Trump is heard
01:26uttering the now-famous line, grab him by the pussy, Melania wore what's known as a pussy bow
01:31blouse to her husband's presidential debate.
