The first lady says that a controversial jacket was meant for critics

Melania Trump met with ABC last night for her first live interview since the inauguration of President Trump. There, she revealed that her jacket "I do not really care, is not it?" Was actually meant to send a message to the "left media".

The first lady shocked many people last June by wearing the bold print jacket while she was traveling to a detention center in Texas where undocumented children were temporarily placed after being separated from their parents.

Many have interpreted the jacket as insensitive given the outrage over her husband's "zero tolerance" immigration policy.

Initially, the First Lady's spokesmen said that there was no message behind the jacket, but Melania revealed to ABC's Tom Llamas, during a broadcast "Melania – The First Lady" one hour special broadcast on Friday, that was a direct message to her left critics.

"I often wonder if I would not wear this jacket if I would have so much media coverage," she said. "It's obvious that I did not wear this jacket for children. I wore this jacket to get in and out of the plane, and it was for the people and the left media who were criticizing me and I want to show them that I 'm plugged in. "

When asked if she was intentionally sending a message, Melania replied, "Yes, it was a bit of a message."

She said that she had voluntarily put the jacket back on the plane after noticing how much the media had "obsessed and upset".

"I said: you know what? that's what I'm talking about, "she said. "I would prefer that they focus on what I do and on my initiatives rather than what I wear."
