Jill Biden wore a jacket with a message during her second day in the United Kingdom and it has sparked a comparison with Melania Trump’s jacket in 2018.
The first lady stepped out in a black blazer that had the words “LOVE” in metallic beading across the back as she joined President Joe Biden, UK Prime Minister Boris Johnson and his wife Carrie Johnson during a walk outside Carbis Bay Hotel in Carbis Bay, Cornwall, on Thursday.

She completed the look with loose hair, a black and white polka dot dress and black high heels.
Not long after pictures of her outfit surfaced, social media lit up comparing the FLOTUS “LOVE” jacket with former first lady Melania Trump’s army green jacket that had the message across the back that read, “I Really Don’t Care, Do U?” (RELATED: Jill Biden Defends Education Doctorate: ‘One Of The Things I’m Most Proud Of’)
Traveling with President Biden in the UK, Jill Biden wore a jacket on Thursday that read “LOVE” on the back, an echo of Melania Trump’s “I really don’t care, do u?” jacket that she wore in 2018 to visit children separated from their parents at the border. https://t.co/0EJHqAfAd6
