In contrast to his trip to the US-Mexico border last year, President Trump's visit Tuesday was attended by only a handful of supporters and protesters.

SAN DIEGO - President Donald Trump's visit to the border with Mexico here was attended by only a handful of supporters and protesters, some saying a border wall would protect the nation and others that it won't address the area's real problem of smuggling tunnels.

Some of the Trump supporters there didn't want to talk to reporters for fear of having their words misconstrued — one called a reporter"fake news" — or because they believed it would endanger their families. Luis Garcia, who owns a packaging supplies business nearby, wasn't as enthused. He said the president's past threats to shut down the border and place tariffs on some Mexican goods has been bad news for a border economy dependent on trade between both nations.A border wall won't stop legitimate trade, he said, but neither would it protect the Otay Mesa community from its true scourge —

Does he not get it. The wall is not the problem, he is !!!

VegasLiz He is still an idiot, the same as last year!

It was a “keeping my promise to voters” photo op, not a campaign rally. Not that you news kidiots would know the difference?!

Perhaps people are getting tired of all his bullshit rhetoric and are seeking answers and guidance elsewhere.

We The People Don’t Need Trump.

: As I recall, there were videos presented on news media depicting large groups of people wearing police wardrobe marching in formation, on the last go-round. Media goes out of their way to fool us. They spend a lot of money, time and effort to fool us.

Why is this even news.

So.

This is how we deflate him. And now, stop reporting it.

He was not in San Francisco. He was in San Mateo County, Portola Valley. Your reporting is not correct.

Trump is even beginning to bore his mindless minions.

The only thing that matters is that the wall is being built

It’s really not even that big of deal. Mexico is chill, let them in 🤷‍♂️ boardersarelame AUTOMATION is taking jobs, not Immigrants yanggang

He's low energy... will get bad ratings no doubt.

Is it possible America has moved on from Trump & is ready 4 someone else?

He was there to sign his damned name on a piece of wall that SOB

Literally no one cared enough to go
