Melania did not own or acquire that jacket. She wouldn't buy or wear clothes like that on her own.

So somebody else must have gotten it for her and told her to wear it. This pushes the question of "why?" (or "WTF were you thinking?" ) back to that person.

My most charitable (to Melania) explanation is that she doesn't read English and didn't know what it said. But more likely, she was just following orders.
