Trump took on the media portals for crticising Melania's choice of clothes while visiting the US-Mexico border to meet the children of immigrant families who had been left behind due to Trump administration's Zero Tolerance policy.

The controversial jacket was an olive green by Zara in white graffiti-style lettering worth $39.

President Trump has been under fire for his immigration policies as part of which the children of immigrant families are left behind while the parents are termed as the "prisoners". The migrant children are labelled as "unaccompanied minors" and sent to the government's custody or foster care.

Earlier, Melania had criticised Trump's policies saying, she "hates to see children separated from their families" at America's border.
