I'll never forget Melania's jacket. Will U?

 

Whenever I hear Melania Trump's name I see this visual in my head.

 

Do you remember it too?  In case you don't - her jacket says "I don't really care do U?"

 

She chose to wear this jacket to a migrant detention center in Texas on June 21, 2018 where she visited with 55 children some of whom had been separated from their parents.   

 

You remember the stories about the detention centers don't you?  Unsanitary conditions, forcible injections and physical abuse allegations have all surfaced.  (Ellis, Hicken & Ortega, 2018)

 

And this is what she chose to wear.

 

You too will probably never forget this photograph.  That's because we are hard wired to remember visuals.  We remember those that make it into our long term memories with 90% accuracy.  Every time her name is mentioned - the visual is triggered and reinforced.

 

Today Joe Biden is being sworn in as the 46th President of the United States and the Trump's have left the building.

 

On her way out the door Melania Trump has gifted us with more of her pity party whining, complaining that she has been the subject of "salacious gossip" and "false misleading accusations." (Relman, 2021)

 

But this jacket certainly suggests otherwise.  

 

And I will never forget it.  Will U?
