Melania Trump Tells Us How She Really Feels With Tone-Deaf Outfit To Visit Migrant Children

Source: Tom Williams / Getty Today, Melania Trump seemed to have the emotional intelligence of an apple when she decided to wear one particular jacket. As previously reported , news surfaced that migrant children were being separated from their parents at the U.S.-Mexico border and being sent to damaging “shelters.” Images and reports of the procedure caused outrage across the country. Donald Trump eventually signed an executive order on Wednesday ending the separations after public pressure. Now it seems First Lady Melania wants to see what the kids have had to go through in person. On Thursday, she boarded a plane flying to one of the Texas “shelters,” but her wardrobe did NOT match the occasion. Apparently, she thought it would be fine to wear a jacket with the phrase “”I REALLY DON’T CARE, DO U?” on the back. First lady Melania Trump wears jacket emblazoned with “I DON'T CARE.

Social media came for her entire life. Swipe through to read what people had to say!

New Scam Alert! You Won’t Be NIKE’s New Brand Ambassador — Sorry

More here:

Source: Patrick McMullan / Getty Scamming is the oldest fraud in history. Some people do it for the money, and some folks just do it for the thrill.   Unfortunately, people on the other end of the swindle don’t find it as humorous. The ones that fall for the scams are usually the ones who have a great desire for something — like a job at NIKE. Lmao people really think that tagging some fake Nike page on Instagram, is gonna get them recruited by Nike. I’m disappointed. — Shak (@NotShak) June 18, 2018 There’s a fake flyer going around on social media recently, promising sneaker lovers the opportunity to become NIKE Ambassadors and receive free gear. The conning posts asks users with more than 250 followers to repost the advertisement to their IG story, follow the @nike_recruitss page and mention the handle (which sounds hella fake, btw) in their post. But who would fall for that. @nikestore is this real? It’s floating around pic.twitter.com/hoX2PJzNr7 — Travis Cook (@TrappiAm) June 19, 2018 But NIKE, being the brolic brand that it is, shut ish down immediately. That is not an authorized Nike account. Let us know if we can help you with anything else. — Nike.com (@nikestore) June 19, 2018 Stay woke, friends.  People who graduated from a Top 5 public university in the country on IG reposting fake Nike flyers trying to become brand ambassadors. I know the job market is competitive but does it have to come down to this? — Walt (@WaltD336) June 19, 2018 I’m unfollowing everyone that reposts that fake Nike Ambassador post lol — chad miller (@nychad) June 19, 2018

XXXTentacion’s Ex Girlfriend & Reported Abuse Victim Responds To His Death

Source: Miami Herald / Getty On Monday, many fans and celebrities mourned the death of 20-year-old rapper XXXTentacion . Despite his tragic shooting, however, the Florida spitter didn’t leave without his critics either. XXX has had a controversial life, including grim accusations of abuse from his ex-girlfriend Geneva Ayala . In 2016, he was arrested for aggravated battery on a pregnant victim, domestic battery by strangulation, false imprisonment, and witness tampering as it pertained to Ayala. Despite Ayala’s disturbing accounts of what XXX did to her, it seems she’s still processing his death in her own way. She tweeted early Tuesday morning, “i lost someone close to me. leave me alone.” She then added, “everyone expecting me to be relieved or happy?! no, i’m broken.” You can check out her full tweets below. i know y’all don’t fuck w me, but this isn’t about me. just please stop tagging me in disrespectful threads and arguments. i honestly don’t care for any of the hype. i lost someone close to me. leave me alone. — bloodsucca (@hisl0nelystar) June 19, 2018 it’s disgusting that people are speaking for me. i don’t care if no one cared about me however many months ago, i didn’t lose my life. he did. it’s permanent. i’m still here. like how do you think that makes me feel? everyone expecting me to be relieved or happy?! no, i’m broken. — bloodsucca (@hisl0nelystar) June 19, 2018 Back in October 2016, Ayala started a GoFundMe page for surgery she would need after XXX’s alleged beatings. “There’s two fractures in my left eye socket due to an aggressive hit, along with nose and jaw fractures,” she wrote on the page. “Since these bones are fractured they’re piercing into the back of my eyeball causing damage to an optical nerve and my eye itself. The left side of my face has lost some sensation, i cannot feel my upper lip on the left side, and same for my upper teeth on the left side. And as for my left eye’s vision, it’s diminishing as the days go by. It’s crucial i get the surgery otherwise my eyeball will die and the nerve connecting my lip/cheek and teeth will eventually die as well.” Her fundraising goal was $25,000 and within an hour after news of XXX’s death, her account received over $1000 in donations. As of now, she has raised over $32,000. Meanwhile, XXX’s sales and streaming have climbed since his death. According to Complex , he currently has the No. 1 and No. 2 albums on Amazon’s Movers and Shakers Digital Music list. His last album ?  increased by 41,306 percent, while his 2017 album 17  jumped by 9,000 percent. His CDs, vinyl and iTunes sales have increased as well. We’ll continue to keep you updated if any major news should surface around XXX or Ayala.
