Who Is The "Je M'en Fous" On Melania Trump's Jacket For?
Visiting a detention center for undocumented minors, the First Lady's jacket raises many questions. Decryption.
Melania Trump may have unknowingly found a new way to communicate her political views to the world. Indeed, Thursday June 21, while going to a center for migrant children on the Mexican border, the first lady of the United States appeared on the tarmac of the airport wearing a Zara jacket on which we could read "I really don't care, do u?" ("I really don't care, don't you?").
A detail far from trivial since this event occurs just when her husband Donald Trump finds himself at the heart of a controversy concerning undocumented migrants. Heavily criticized for his decision to separate migrant parents and children after their arrest on American soil, the President finally backed down by authorizing their detention together. He also took the opportunity to speak on his wife's jacket.
As usual, it was on Twitter that he made an announcement: "'I really don't care, don't you?' written on the back of Melania's jacket refers to fake news from the media. Melania has learned how dishonest they are, and she doesn't really care anymore! " A scathing response from the American leader who protests, once again, against the media. And despite this statement, many see Melania Trump's gesture as a hidden message.
Even if some (including the team of the first lady) claim that there is no conclusion to be drawn from this outfit, major American newspapers like the New York Times have questioned the recipient of this message. Would these be words for her husband, whom she clearly opposed on the decision of migrant families, or on the situation in general, which is in no way linked to her person? A truth difficult to decipher but which once again proves the importance of the place of the first lady in the politics of a country.
