Kimmel Can’t Figure Out Melania Trump’s ‘I Really Don’t Care’ Jacket

She doesn't care. She's a birther. She's married to Donald Trump. Listen to her idiotic questions and comments at the sterilized facility she was taken to. She not only doesn't care, she's clueless and complicit.

Good golly miss molly! don't miss the Paul McCartney/James Korden karaoke. 20 minutes of joy, and what a gentleman!

The Paul McC clip is beautiful. What a contract to all the crap we're dealing with.

The whole Trump administration just doesn’t care about anything except themselves. Waiting for an “Only the little people pay taxes” jacket.

Hard to believe this is an error considering how everything about this administration is about distraction and confusion to sneak by something else while attention is diverted. One wonders if the First Lady was tossed the jacket to wear and didn’t pay attention herself. But many hands of all sizes are not innocent.

Oh my – Corden's Karaoke w/Paul mcCartney was a much-needed day brightener! Gotta love Paul!

Think about this. What previous First Lady would even own a jacket like that, let alone would wear it, let alone would wear it ANYWHERE on an official visit as First Lady? Even if she was just going somewhere to make a 3 minute speech, it’s entirely inappropriate. But to wear it on the way to and from the border in such a situation is a disgrace. She knows she is photographed every second she leaves the White House. She knew she’d be photographed wearing the jacket. She knew everyone would read the jacket once photographs of it appeared. She wore it for us, to show us what she feels. I’m sick and tired of idiots claiming this woman is trolling her husband. “Maybe she meant it as a message for Donald.” She lives with Donald. She can give him a message anytime. But she’s only seen by the public every now and then. She’s not “poor Melania.” She’s not trying to tunnel out of and escape the White House. She’s not trapped. She can pick up and leave with her son anytime and say he’s homesick for New York. Melania Trump may have occasional spats with her husband, but she’s not leaving him. She’s not on “our side.” She likes money, attention and clothes. Especially clothes (except when she’s being photographed naked). She bought that jacket for what it says and she wore it on purpose. She’s giving us, not Donald Trump, the finger.

Couldn’t agree more. I think some hoped that there was a scintilla of humanity behind the botoxed facade, but the entire world can now see that she is just as hollow and devoid of empathy as her husband. What boggles my mind is the sheer arrogance and impudence. She could have quietly felt that way in private, but obviously thought it was more than ok to wear her ugly heart on her sleeve (or her back).

Give Melania a break. There’s a song by the Eagles called, “You can’t hide your lying eyes.” Listen to the song and feel bad for her...at least a little bit.

Why would you feel bad for a lying gold digger? She's just as bad as her husband.

Melania? This is how most respond and feel about you.

Best back off any assumption of message intent in her wearing this jack and assume it was an error born of happenstance: To wit, did I too readily accept the Time cover picturing a child subjected to the abuse of separation? Yes; for I like most people tend to find what I am looking for and in doing so I may stumble across something that erroneously appears to be it. To wit: given that the words on the First Lady’s jacket do not convey any message that can be readily associated with her visit to separated families, I assume that her wearing it was product of an error of happenstance---the same can be safely assumed in regard to the Time cover that depicts the actual abuse suffered by children via Trump’s directive, however the cover appears to be in error in regard to this particular child.
