Late-night hosts slam Melania Trump's 'I don't care' coat as 'out-of-touch'

Late-night hosts blasted first lady Melania Trump Thursday for her questionable choice of outerwear, a green jacket with "'I REALLY DON'T CARE. DO U?" printed on the back, as she visited children in immigrant detention facilities in Texas.

"I’m going to guess this is one message she did not steal from Michelle Obama," Stephen Colbert cracked, calling it "the jacket seen 'round the world."

The "Late Show" host wondered, in another White House, how many people would be fired over the nightmarish optics of the scenario.

“Because in the middle of the worst moral scandal in recent memory, so bad that her husband backed down for the first time in memory, people who were supposedly on her side let her get on a plane with a jacket that said ‘I really don’t care, do you?'" he said.

Jimmy Kimmel made a similar point, comparing the Trump White House to the Obamas.

“Remember when Michelle Obama showed her bare arms and went to an oil spill, and Fox News went nuts?" he said. "I’m sure they’ll have the same reaction to this."

"Keep in mind, she was on her way to meet children who’ve been separated from their parents," he added. "This is what she wore on the plane ride there. A jacket that says, ‘I REALLY DON’T CARE, DO U?’ Is the president now tweeting onto his wife’s clothes?'"

Meanwhile, Trevor Noah directed his ire at President Trump.

"It is kind of sweet that she made a jacket out of her and Donald's wedding vows," he said.

"We could spend forever talking about how out of touch this makes Melania seem," he continued. "But I don't care, do you?"
