Melania Trump wanted to show the world that she was a compassionate first lady by visiting a migrant child detention centre in Texas but her insensitive choice of a jacket during the trip has caused an uproar on social media.
As she boarded a plane, she wore an olive green jacket, which said on the back: "I really don't care. Do UIJ" in white graffiti-style lettering.
Melania, 48, was not wearing the branded Zara jacket when she landed in McAllen, Texas yesterday on a visit to personally witness the humanitarian situation along the US-Mexico border that has captured global attention. Under President Donald Trump's "zero-tolerance" immigration policy, nearly 2,000 children have been separated from their parents and placed into holding facilities between April 19 and May 31 of this year, according to the Department of Homeland Security. The public outcry in the wake of images and stories of the children caught in the middle of Trump's controversial immigration policy has sparked a fierce global debate.
