"I REALLY DON'T CARE. DO U?"

I find it odd that there hasn't been more discussion here on this forum about what possibly could have been floating through the minds of either the FLOTUS or her handlers regarding her decision (if it WAS her decision) to wear a garment adorned with a great, big, block-letters message that could not have been more inappropriate, at every conceivable level, when visiting one of those shameful "tender age detention facilities" near the border with Mexico.
Is there not something distinctly and disturbingly "Trump" about it? about how free of subtlety and nuance it is, about how insultingly direct it is in its rhetorical brutality? And coming straight from one of the most visible representatives of America's commanding heights? This should be a big deal, it seems to me, but it's almost as if it was SO wrong, SO disgusting, SO beyond comprehension for most non-demented individuals that nobody in the media, mainstream or otherwise, can get an adequate handle on how to approach it. It was actually kind of amazing watching them try, and then give up, because... what's the point? This really is a case of "it is what it is"... any commentary beyond just playing the video seems... unnecessary? confounding? insufficient in every way? It's a real head-spinner, the likes of which has no analog in recent memory ("Now watch this drive" pales in comparison).
To me, this incident represents a clear moment of escalation in both the New Fascist International's use of pseudo-magickal meme-war, and also in their willingness to "go there" when it comes to confirming the worst fears of right-minded people (and the hopes and dreams of Trumpnik True Believers) about how deeply this movement is committed to its spite-sculpted core values (destroying the postwar consensus to own the libs) and how far they're willing to go in service to those values (the latest step down this stairway to hell being the establishment of concentration camps for brown babies).
Am I making too much of this? Have any of you come across any analysis or explanation that you've found satisfactory? I'd really, REALLY like to see it if you have.
Love to all y'all,
yer old pal Jerky
