After Melania Trump fashion flare-up, five more slogans on clothing that caused offence or controversy
US first lady was accused of insensitivity and ignorance for wearing a jacket emblazoned with the words I Really Don’t Care. Do U? when she flew to meet detained immigrant children. She’s not the first public figure to commit a fashion faux pas
Melania Trump stunned the world with her decision to wear a jacket emblazoned with the words “I REALLY DON’T CARE. DO U?” on her way to visit immigrant children at a detention centre on the US-Mexico border on Thursday.
It drew widespread criticism, with many believing the message was directed at migrants.
