WASHINGTON (AP) President Donald Trump enters the last days of his presidency isolated and shunned by former allies and members of his own party as he faces a second impeachment and growing calls for his resignation after his supporters launched an assault on the nations Capitol in an effort to disrupt the peaceful transfer of power.
Cut off from the social media channels that have been the lifeblood of his presidency, Trump will nonetheless try to go on offense in his last 10 days, with no plans of resigning.
Instead, Trump is planning to lash out against the companies that have now denied him his Twitter and Facebook bullhorns. And aides hope he will spend his last days trying to trumpet his policy accomplishments, beginning with a trip to Alamo, Texas, on Tuesday to highlight his administrations efforts to curb illegal immigration and border wall construction.
Trumps decision to travel to Alamo named after the San Antonio mission where a small group of Texans fighting for independence against the Mexican government were defeated after a 13-day siege served as a symbol of his defiance as he faces the most volatile end of any presidency in modern history.

(10,885 posts)tRump will say to incite his goons without knowing about history " Remember the Alamo". And that will be their call.

(11,744 posts)Alamo is on the Southern Border while "The Alamo", is in San Antonio. Alamo is hundreds of miles away. But, like everything Trump does, he is hoping the confusion with the name will allow him to invoke the imagery of "The Alamo" while not having to go to San Antonio, where there would no doubt, be massive protests.

(11,744 posts)He is dumb as a bag of hammers. His staff, knowing that San Antonio would bring massive protests probably said, "sure, we can go to Alamo" wiping the sweat from their brows. I am sure that they have used his ignorance to their advantage quite a few times.

(14,175 posts)trDump was too stupid to realize his nasty background was way too tarnished to stand up to the bright lights and microscopic exposure of those who he is constantly offending and trashing.
This Mafioso thug is a pink feather duster who ends up causing himself far more harm than he causes anyone else.
"The Dawn-ald"... wasn't he a pom pom girl in college ?
