He lied before he went to the border.
He lied when he visited the border.
He’s lying now after his trip to the border.
There is no crisis.
Drugs primarily come in through legal checkpoints – the wall wouldn’t stop that.
Everyone wants better border security – the wall is not the best method.
Trump again said today the country is being invaded down at the border. Fact check: False.

Trump angrily upbraiding reporters for benign portrayal of US-Mexico border: “the media is not telling the American people how bad it is, how dangerous it is – the crime and the drugs and the smuggling of everything. you write about nonsense”

We are not in the midst of a conventional negotiation, in which each side is offering concessions in exchange for concessions from the other side.

POTUS went to McAllen, where crime is at a 30-year low, for a photo op. 🤔 He used props that were confiscated at customs, not from illegal crossings where there isn't a wall. 🤔 Officials boasted of arresting people who tunneled under existing walls. 🤔 https://t.co/nnxLnZuv89

He’s actually talking about American government cars all loaded up with machine guns, not migrants’ cars. (He just likes talking about how he gets surrounded by machine guns.) https://t.co/J0P2Ue1l4g

fact checked repeatedly as false. Bottomless Pinocchio claim! The heroin comes through legal broader crossings where there would be no wall. https://t.co/HyX7YbTpao

Trump's chat with Hannity at the border reminded me of this comment from the anti-Fox group @mmfa: "The entire shutdown is just a show aimed at the Fox News audience." https://t.co/SMjvAvoE00

Trump says the government hasn't spent $1.6-B Congress earlier approved for border wall because administration follows his real estate practice of paying contractors only after work is done: "if they didn't do a good job, don't pay 'em"
