Melania's tone deaf jacket gets instantly burned by memes

The First Lady made it too easy.

Melania Trump made a surprise visit to Texas on Thursday to meet detained immigrant children at the U.S. border. Considering she's been laying low for the past few weeks, you'd think it's a step forward for her as a public figure. Remember that whole "where's Melania" debacle in May?

But in some sort of bizarrely insensitive fashion no-no, Melania decided to board the plane to the middle of a major human rights debate wearing a long green jacket that said "I don't really care, do u?" on the back.

In a few minutes, people started spoofing the jacket and adding their own messages. Whether a critical reminder that Americans have the power to vote out the current administration, or a jab at Melania's (seemingly) high and mighty attitude toward migrant children, these fake jackets have hotter takes than any incoming op-ed.
