AP snapped photos of Melania getting out of the car and onto the plane wearing a Zara army jacket over her cream-colored ensemble with the words “I REALLY DON’T CARE DO U” emblazoned on the back.

By the time she alighted from the plane in McAllen, the offending jacket was replaced by a cream safari coat, but the damage had been done.

This isn’t the first time the First Lady’s fashion has not been quite suited to the occasion. She famously wore stilettos to survey the damage caused by Hurricane Harvey in Texas last August.

CNN’s Jim Acosta tweeted that a spokesperson for FLOTUS confirmed the jacket’s message but tried to downplay its significance:

FLOTUS spox confirms Mrs. Trump wore a jacket to visit border kids that reads: “I really don’t care. Do you?” Spox says: “It’s a jacket. There was no hidden message. After today’s important visit to Texas, I hope the media isn’t going to choose to focus on her wardrobe.” pic.twitter.com/Bp4Z8n455G — Jim Acosta (@Acosta) June 21, 2018

Nevertheless, Twitter went to town on the First Lady for the tone-deaf fashion choice:

This is not a joke. Melania Trump wore a jacket to visit child detention centers that read: “I really don’t care. Do u?” I’m actually speechless. https://t.co/Ume21zIGra — Zac Petkanas (@Zac_Petkanas) June 21, 2018

This is not the Onion, but it is fantastic: Melania wears jacket saying ‘I REALLY DON’T CARE’ en route to visit immigrants https://t.co/FIjzwgF9WA via @Femail — Warren Leight (@warrenleightTV) June 21, 2018

The Melania jacket thing is another one of those headlines where a casual news consumer would read the headline and assume it is an exaggeration/lie because it’s basically unbelievable. — Chris Wilson (@realchriswilson) June 21, 2018

This can’t be real https://t.co/SnJ2yPy54f — Katie Rogers (@katierogers) June 21, 2018

Wait, wait, wait. I just got wifi to work on my flight. This Melania jacket thing cannot be real. Can’t. I’m choosing to not believe it. — Chris Hayes (@chrislhayes) June 21, 2018

You’d think some staffer would have mustered the courage to recommend a wardrobe adjustment before allowing something like this to happen. https://t.co/k2SUf3RtT1 — Kenneth P. Vogel (@kenvogel) June 21, 2018
