Despite his account being suspended on Twitter and the ongoing battle with Facebook, or perhaps in spite of it, former President Donald Trump still has a huge media presence. The man has one of the biggest Republican fan bases in history and he knows how to work his audience.
Trump’s flair for showmanship pairs uniquely with his ability to hold a grudge, and this week, the former Commander in Chief one-upped Madam Vice President in an unforgettable way.
Former President Donald Trump is scheduled to visit the U.S.-Mexico border with Texas Gov. Greg Abbott at the end of the month, which he described on Tuesday as an “unmitigated disaster zone.”
The president said in a press release that he had accepted Abbott’s invitation to visit the “decimated” border, a deteriorating situation that he attributed to the Biden administration’s decisions to reverse many of his immigration policies.
As per the usual, Trump didn’t hold back.
“Biden and Harris have handed control of our border over to cartels, criminals, and coyotes. Drug dealers, MS-13 gang members, human smugglers, sex traffickers, and the criminal elements of the world now have free reign,” Trump said in a statement. “What Biden and Harris have done, and are continuing to do on our border, is a grave and willful dereliction of duty.”
VP Harris was assigned to lead a task force to address the border crisis over 80 days ago and has yet to even visit the border itself.
