Trump arrives in San Diego for another border visit amid protests

Source: LA Times

President Trump's tour of California took him to San Diego on Wednesday, with an afternoon visit to the border and a review of a prototype of his much-debated wall.

Trump is set to tour the border area of Otay Mesa, a San Diego neighborhood along the Mexican border, after a fundraiser in San Diego. He visited the border wall prototypes last year as well, where supporters and protesters turned out to greet him.

Ahead of the president's visit, hundreds of protesters, supporters and observers gathered downtown in San Diego's Horton Plaza Park. Supporters chanted, "Four more years," while protesters inflated a "baby Trump" balloon. A similar balloon made an appearance in the Bay Area on Tuesday.

While in the state, Trump has announced the administration's plans to revoke a longtime rule allowing California to set tougher auto emissions standards than those required by the federal government, igniting another battle between state officials and the White House.

And, I’m reminded why I feel so much better when the Orange Menace is across the deserts, past the mountains, over the prairies, just oozing about in his swampy home cavorting with the clowns of the apocalypse. California is no place for him.

on Coronado, a big military community. The event could have been anywhere on the peninsula.

told the news reporter not to show his face since he doesn't want to be threatened. Apparently this happened with him on Facebook. There were a lot of protesters and the tRump Baby Balloon. His supporters were trying to instigate fights, etc. After the fucking moron's fundraiser/lunch one guy said his speech boosted their spirits since they have been depressed lately.
