No. This isn't a joke or a photoshop hoax. She really, actually wore this jacket to visit a concentration camp for brown children created by her husband's racist, draconian policy.

  • The jacket is made by Zara and costs $39, according to the Daily Mail.
  • Her spokeswoman told Business Insider that "there was no hidden message."

I'm not going to speculate on if this was intentional or not - we'll obviously never know the truth to that.
But, it does go to underline that even in their best of intentions (and I do believe her going there was her choice and her "idea") that they are completely tone deaf, out of touch and just generally oblivious to what their actions say about them. I mean I generally don't want to make mountains of mole hills, but this is just fuckign crazy.

wait, I'm going to take this a step further. I don't even get some somebody in her position - the first lady of the united states -- owns a jacket like that. If she wore it to Burger King on a Tuesday night burger run, I'd question the content and message that it relayed. To wear it where and when she wore it.... I'm literally jaw dropped.

Perhaps, but at least in my opinion rather interesting. I find myself in a quandary almost immediately trying to figure out, not any hidden message, but the actual message. Is what I experience the real message or one I bring to the table. Is the message a statement of indifference or a question of whether I feel the same? What is the message when those two are put together. Maybe I just don't care, do you?

No. I can't believe this is true. Who could possibly be that foolish and out of touch to do this?

Hideous jacket also. Why?

Was she shopping around for little brown babies to make a new coat from? WTF.

Or this could be something to get everyone's focus onto before something else Trump has planned. Its not like he has done this before right...

First off. I think she cares. That said why is it everyone in this admin can take something good for them and make it so bad? How can everyone of then trip over their own dicks this much?!

The optics on this are just horrible. No one thought to say to her “hey. Maybe wear one of your other jackets today”?

Especially when their dicks are like an inch long. Its a fucking skill at this point to be this incompetent.

Wow!

You're all are being too kind.

I can't even organize my thoughts well enough to describe how deeply fu*ked up & disgusting she is for this.

Trying to imagine what she ever did to earn your respect in the first place.

I would say there is a base level of respect I have for every human simply for being human.

She's dropped below that. This took it a notch lower even still.

Its true. I'll admit I have a lot less respect for her now. She appears to be as clueless as her idiot husband.

This has to be one of the dumbest, most incompetently staged photo ops in history. Omg.
I just cannot wrap my mind around the thought process that said this was ok.

Will live in infamy up there with "mission accomplished"

Meanwhile stories are coming out of kids being sexually assaulted and abused in these cages.
This (and worse) had been totally predicted when you set up situations like this.

But hey FLOTUS DGAF

I find it hard to believe with writing that big it was an accident. Try to convince us

Yeah, or maybe, and just hear me out here...

Maybe, just maybe, it's completely in line with every racist shitty thing the first family has done, they don't care about the people that are pissed, and they're sending yet another message to their base.
