'Jill Biden cares': First lady's 'LOVE' blazer compared to Melania Trump's 'I don't care' jacket

'Jill Biden spreads a message of LOVE & acceptance unlike racist birther, Melania Trump,' one of Jill's supporters chimed in

Even without asking for it, first lady Jill Biden found herself in a fashion war with predecessor Melania Trump. Social media can't stop discussing if Jill wore a 'Love' blazer on the second day of her UK trip as a jab at Melania. 

On Thursday, June 10, Jill wore a black blazer with the word "LOVE" scrawled across the back. She was accompanied by President Joe Biden, UK Prime Minister Boris Johnson and his wife Carrie Johnson during a walk outside Carbis Bay Hotel in Carbis Bay, Cornwall. And in no time, social media users started comparing it with Melania's much-talked-about jacket from 2018. The first lady was wearing the black blazer with the writing on the back over a black and white polka-dot dress, which she matched with pearl earrings and a necklace.

What does the jacket mean?

When asked what her jacket meant, Jill reportedly said, "Well, I think that we're bringing love from America." "I think that this is a global conference and we're trying to bring unity across the globe and I think that's important right now that you have a sense of unity." Not too long after the pictures of the President's trip to the other side of the pond were released that observant fans drew comparisons between the jackets worn by both Jill and Melania.

Comparisons with Melania Trump

Melania wore a green jacket in 2018 that had "I really don't care do u?" scrawled on the back. Social media users were quick to point out that Jill was 'trolling' Melania. "The first lady seemed to be trolling Melania Trump, who in 2018 wore a jacket that said “I really don’t care, do u?” when she traveled to the US border in Texas to visit children separated from their families, during outcry about Trump admin policies," said a Bloomberg reporter.

At the time, Melania had sparked chaos online and offline. Her camp at the time had claimed that there was "no hidden message." But Trump said that the message was aimed at "the fake news media."

This time around, it was Jill's supporters and followers at the forefront, taking Twitter by storm one tweet at a time. "Jill Biden actually cares. Melania Trump on the other hand, doesn’t give a damn. #BeBest kinda fizzled out after a week," one user tweeted. "The difference in beauty between Jill Biden and Melania Trump is that Melania only cared about her damn self," another user pointed out along similar lines. 

And soon enough their past was also dredged up. "Never quite understand how conservatives laud ex porn model Melania Trump, and spent 8 years insulting lawyer and high educated Michelle Obama. Now they are gonna spend the next 4 years insulting a Doctor, Jill Biden." Another tweeted, "Dr. Jill Biden has a doctorate degree from University of Delaware, and 2 Masters degree from Chester and Villanova University. Melania Trump has a fake Visa ."

"Jill Biden spreads a message of LOVE & acceptance unlike racist birther, Melania Trump," one of Jill's supporters chimed in. "First Lady Jill Biden steals the show with her incredible looks. Melania Trump steals speeches like her husband and his crooks," another added. 

Yet another of Jill's fans wrote, "Americans knew First Lady Dr. Jill Biden is pure class! Now the world knows it! Just like the world cringed as most Americans when Melania Trump proved who she was, unAmerican!! History never forgets History never forgives History has a long memory!!" Another user tweeted, "Melania Trump was a trophy wife who never gave a damn about her husband or the country she was first lady of."
