Trump eyes another border trip, plans aggressive PR campaign as wall funding debate restarts

WASHINGTON – Aides to President Donald Trump are sketching out a three-week public relations campaign, including the possibility of another trip to the border, as the president seeks to influence new negotiations over funding and his proposed wall.

The latest push, which includes next week’s State of the Union address, comes after Trump has largely retreated from public view following his decision Friday to reopen the government for three weeks without new wall funding. The president hasn’t attended any public events since he called for a “great and secure deal” late last week.

As the clock ticks toward a Feb. 15 deadline to fund the government, White House plans include events designed to highlight immigration woes and, aides said, potentially another visit by the president to the U.S.-Mexico border. The aides, speaking on the condition of anonymity to discuss internal discussions, stressed no final decisions about strategy had been made.

Trump last visited the border Jan. 10 to highlight what he has repeatedly described as a “crisis.”

I wonder why he feels so safe in one venue, but is so frightened to go to the other?

...I’d put together a slick presentation showing evidence of a need and a study showing how it would be built, including ways of meeting the engineering and budgeting challenges.



I crack myself up sometimes.
