The fallout continues from First Lady Melania Trump's dumbfounding, insensitive decision to wear a Zara jacket that says "I REALLY DON'T CARE, DO U?" en route to visit immigrant children separated from their parents at the Texas border yesterday. President Donald Trump has now responded to the scandal on Twitter.

Donald instead attacked the media.
