Christopher Phelps interviewed on LBC News

United States First Lady Melania Trump made a surprise visit to the Mexican border on Thursday, the day after her husband and US President Donald Trump retreated on his immigration policy amid increasing political pressure. 

During the visit, Melania was spotted wearing a green Zara coat with the slogan 'I really don't care, do u?'. Was this a political faux par or just a young woman wearing something she considered fashionable?

Associate Professor of American and Canadian Studies, Christopher Phelps discusses the visit and the politics surrounding the role of the First Lady.
