Young Women Weigh In On That Jacket
In news you already know: Melania Trump departed the White House yesterday to visit the immigrant children her husband's administration had separated from their parents, and she chose to wear a jacket that read, "I really don't care. Do u?" The first lady's press secretary said it meant nothing. Trump said it was a message to the media.
These women have something else to say. In a visit to the Cosmopolitan.com offices, four young immigrants gave the jacket a bit of a re-design.
Rosa, 19
"I needed to raise my voice because I need to let Melania and the children know that we do care. I want those kids to know they're not alone. Their pain is our pain." -Rosa, 19
Johanna, 18
"Kids deserve a childhood, a good childhood - not being placed in a cage that feels like a prison. They should be free. I want to remind the world of that." -Johanna, 18
Jennifer, 18
"She could have worn that jacket any other day. It was so frustrating to see and made me feel so angry, because instead, she chose to wear it on a day when she was going to see kids. She could have shared a positive message." -Jennifer, 18
Stephanie, 19
"When I saw the jacket I thought Melania was laughing at us. That she was using our pain as immigrants for profit. My jacket sends the message that just because I'm an immigrant, I would never want to be separated from my parents or sibling." -Stephanie, 19
