WASHINGTON, DC – While on her way to visit immigrant children essentially being held in internment camps, First Lady Melania Trump wore a jacket saying “I really don’t care, do u?”

Mrs. Trump has shown deep compassion for immigrants and other marginalized populations, highlighted in her “Be Best” campaign. Of course, well-received “Be Best” campaign focuses on issues facing our children today: well-being, social media, and opioid abuse. I’m sure we all know at least one teenager who abuses opioids, and it’s great that she’s highlighting the issue of bullying on social media. It would be terrible if we had a commander in chief who incessantly bullied and lied to the public on social media.

Melania Trump’s “I Really Don’t Care” tour had a stop at a Potemkin photo-op, but no visit to a real detention center. Sort of like Betty DeVos’s PR trip to a Florida Marriott to not talk to Marjory Stoneman Douglas students.https://t.co/1Ci5E7dtKT
