I don't know if I agree with that or not, though I do agree that, despicable messaging (even without potential dogwhistles!) aside, it does look like an odd choice of garment for Melania Trump.)

Date: 2018-06-24 05:58 pm (UTC)That is fascinating, thank you.
I think it is a bit of a stretch - the original slogan is "I don't care" regarding the non-carer dying on a battlefield, and the Melania jacket doesn't seem to be about her indifference to her own death. It feels like we're trying to give a childish action more gravitas than it deserves. It definitely has echoes, though.
