Donald Trump set to address a rally in Cochis County
Donald Trump is presently in Cochise County where he will be making a statement over the United States-Mexico border.
Texas Republican Veronica Escobar, from the border city of El Paso, said, “Forget what you hear on the news, I’m from there. … When it comes to the border, hear me when I say, you know nothing, Donald Trump.”
He recently gave a remark before the event over DNC. “It’s like they’re having a party. They don’t mention the border. All they do is make up lies about me,” the GOP presidential nominee complained, reports 'Fox & Friends.'
Trump is set to visit the southern border in Cochise County, Arizona, on Thursday, August 22, as he continues to criticize the Biden administration’s border policies.
Thomas Crooks gunned down by Secret Service agents
The threat against former president Donald Trump’s life has come weeks after he served an assassination attempt during a campaign rally in Butler, Pennsylvania.
Thomas Crooks fired multiple shots at Trump while he was speaking at a campaign rally on July 13. He remained majorly unharmed with the exception of a bullet grazing his right year.
Fortunate as he was, Trump’s survival is considered a close call and is understandably a traumatic event for him.
