Mrs. Trump traveled to the border town of McAllen, Texas, last Thursday to meet with law enforcement and social services providers and tour a nonprofit center housing children who were detained under her husband's policy of prosecuting all illegal border-crossers.
She also met with children at the center, but a stop at a Customs and Border Protection facility was scrapped because of heavy rain and flooding.
The trip was overshadowed by a jacket she wore to and from Texas that said on the back: "I really don't care, do u?"
