1. Don't they read the MSM?

[rurallib]

10. Probably thought Benedict Donald was going to THE Alamo

as opposed to their town named Alamo

[groundloop]

20. The idiot probably doesn't know the difference

[Harker]

48. Dammit. I blew it.

I thought he was going to The Alamo to sing the praises of those who died killing Mexicans.

[Grimelle]

22. BAM!

[LymphocyteLover]

43. "Benedict Donald"! That's a great moniker for him that I'd forgotten about

[ybbor]

63. He heard that the missing votes were down in the basement

[whistler162]

74. Please stop insulting Benedict Arnold

One was a Patriot who fought and nearly died for the United States and then turned traitor for a number of reasons and the other one is 45th President of the United States and a coward.

[whopis01]

58. In their defense, they might have quickly read it as "A lame-o"

as in "Trump is making a lame-o visit to Texas today", and just thought it made sense.

[no_hypocrisy]

2. They probably didn't know until the "No Parking" signs went up this morning.

[TeamPooka]

73. this is Donnie's traveling circus future. like a Huckster preacher he will just show up in your town

put up the tent for his revival show and fleece the suckers.

Anyone ever see the movie LEAP OF FAITH?
That's Trump's future.

[Blue Owl]

3. Everybody knows Donny's wall was a failure, and that Donny is a loser

[Cozmo]

46. We know that but the asshole was speaking and said the wall was completed just may be some additions

What are we stupid?

[luv2fly]

4. I read about it last week

Hard to believe they didn't know.

[DonViejo]

5. Not hard to believe at all; we're talking about Trump's White House of Chaos

[NYC Liberal]

7. They may have read about it, but they only said they haven't been "officially" notified,

so they have no idea what he'll be doing or where he's going.

[Lochloosa]

6. The statement does not say they were not aware.

Just that did not get an official notification.

[dchill]

8. Just WOW.

[Simeon Salus]

9. Which Alamo are they going to?

Is it the Alamo close to Brownsville?

Because last time I was there they messed my reservation up too! And someone had smoked in the Ford Escort they rented me.

[Gore1FL]

11. There's a Giuliani/4 seasons joke somewhere in here too. nt

[CurtEastPoint]

15. see below!

[Danascot]

52. I heard that Giuliani showed up for the speech

at the Alamo car rental agency in Texas, Michigan

[neohippie]

12. Alamo, TX

It's my understanding this is a visit to Trump's wall so he can brag about it a la "Mission Accomplished"

[Ford_Prefect]

35. What about the parts that have fallen down or are about to due to erosion and wind??

[DinahMoeHum]

16. Alamo, TX, near the Rio Grande, west of Brownsville.

Of course, the Alamo most of us know of is in San Antonio.

[CTyankee]

45. As a third generation Texan I was, at first, confused...

then I thought, "No. It can't be that stupid." Then I remembered it was Trump...

Didn't anyone whisper in his ear "Uh, I think you mean THE ALAMO. that's in San Antonio..."

[True Blue American]

17. The Alamo I visited was in San Antonio!

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alamo_Mission_in_San_Antonio

[FakeNoose]

13. Another post in DU makes it clear that Chump is not in San Antonio

... where the real original Alamo Memorial is located. Chump went to the Texas town called "Alamo" that is near the Mexican border and Brownsville, Texas.

[Bernardo de La Paz]

33. Ah, he's making a run for the border while all of his fans will be at the Alamo Car Rental in San An

[2naSalit]

72. That's what I was thinking

It's why nobody was actually notified. He's going to do a barrel roll of AF1 on the tarmac and run south. Probably some cartel gang members waiting across the border to pick him up.

I just knew it!

[CurtEastPoint]

14. Rudy Toody is on it! See?

[twodogsbarking]

18. If he wanted to visit a place where Americans died defending their country

he could have gone to the Capitol.

[Lovegan]

19. When I heard about it, first thing I thought was that Trump was going to make a run for the border.

[groundloop]

21. Mexico would toss him back, they don't want him any more than we do.

[underpants]

23. Remember when they forgot to reserve accommodations for

For an international meeting. It was a G7 meeting or something. Early on in this disaster.

[packman]

24. Idiot thinks it's a golf club

He is historically deficient

[They_Live]

25. PUPPET SHOW and president trump

Today!

[bedazzled]

28. told you a million times... trump first, puppets second

[Mendocino]

47. Is he in danger

of being crushed by a dwarf?

[They_Live]

68. It's a complete catastrophe!

[bedazzled]

71. drumph's appeal has become WAY more selective

[Mendocino]

75. Trump is in

dubly.

[bedazzled]

76. He is the patron saint of lack of quality

Could do this all night!

[Mendocino]

77. He

choked on his own vomit.

[bedazzled]

78. after eating a s**t sandwich

i have to watch this now

[Historic NY]

26. They went to Alamo Car Rental...

Alamo Landscaping is booked.

[flibbitygiblets]

50. Damn! You beat me to it.

[AKing]

27. Trump's border wall construction created new weakpoints along the Mexico border, sources say...

undermining his attempt to claim victory
https://www.businessinsider.com/poor-trump-border-wall-construction-created-new-weakpoints-sources-2021-1

The sources explained that the border is weaker after contractors blasted new ravines through mountains to make way for the still-unbuilt wall, and built access roads for their heavy machinery.

This has made an easy path where before there was none, they said.

[sarge43]

29. The Secret Service didn't tell them? Mmmm, interesting. n/t

[snort]

30. I look forward to the wall being torn down and recycled.

[matt819]

31. Maybe trump thinks he's going to the Alamo

which is in San Antonio. And he probably doesn't know that. He also probably doesn't know there's a town called Alamo, which is 60 miles north of San Antonio. And the border with Mexico is another 150 miles + south.

IOW, WTF?

[Bernardo de La Paz]

32. Not sure if Alamo is on the dildo side or the ashes-to-ashes side of Four Seasons Landscaping. . nt

[Bernardo de La Paz]

34. Never Remember the ...

Never Remember the Bowling Green Massacre.

[Ford_Prefect]

37. Or the Greensboro Massacre?

[Bernardo de La Paz]

38. That one ...

... is real.

[Ford_Prefect]

54. Not according to Trumpian folklore. It was fake news just like the Khashoggi murder

[machoneman]

36. Well, w/o any notifcation, at least the city won't provide any police, hence he can't stiff them...

..as he's not paid any other city for protection.

[LudwigPastorius]

39. Trump Trumps where Trump wants to Trump.

It's up to local officials to clean up all the Trump after Trump has Trumped there.

[Nitram]

40. The Alamo?! Perhaps Trump pictures his insurrectionist supporters to be Sanata Anna's army laying

siege to the Capitol instead of the Alamo.

[LeftInTX]

41. Alamo, TX is home of Santa Ana National Wildlife Refuge

https://goo.gl/maps/hfHJx39MB6h7P6feA (At least it has a mailing address of Alamo, TX)
For good reason, there have been protests against the wall.

[GreatShakes66]

65. Nice image!

There was a time not long ago when I would spend nearly every Saturday hiking around Santa Ana.

[idziak4ever1234]

79. GreatShakes! I like that name. Are you from Michigan? I am from Grand Rapids!

[TeamPooka]

42. The Advance team is checked out or resigned.

[pfitz59]

44. Deep in the heart of Democratic Texas.

Trump is not welcome.

[Marcuse]

49. And Mexico paid for it.

[CanonRay]

51. I lived in Alamo until 2013

Its a little mostly Hispanic town sandwiched between San Juan and Donna, TX. About 5 miles east of McAllen. On a given day they maybe have 2 or 3 cops on duty. I have no idea how they will cope.

[LeftInTX]

55. I think he went to part of the wall which has a zip code in Alamo

Santa Ana Wildlife Refuge is there

[CanonRay]

59. We used to hike there all the time

Just under 7 miles from my house to the border

[LeftInTX]

60. I've only been to the Valley once

And that was because we went to South Padre.

It is sad what is happening with Santa Ana

[skypilot]

53. Mary Trump on why Trump is visiting Alamo, TX

https://www.cnn.com/videos/politics/2021/01/12/mary-trump-alamo-visit-cpt-sot-vpx.cnn

[logosoco]

56. Maybe he is going to the Alamo Landscaping Service?nt

[Moral Compass]

57. Most likely sheer incompetence

The City of Alamo heard nothing from the Trumpies because the intent was probably to go to The Alamo which is in San Antonio's downtown.

Other things wrong with the story. Guarantee you there's no airport adjacent to Alamo, TX that could handle AF1.

Anyone know how to access the flight plan? That would tell us where they think they're going.

Dear god, please be over soon. These idiots are wearing me out.

[left-of-center2012]

61. They didn't know he would be IN THE CITY

He was to do an event AT THE WALL.

It was not said he'd be IN THE CITY.

¿Entiendes ahora?

[oldsoftie]

62. He has NOT built 400 miles of BRAND NEW WALL.

Not even close last I heard.

[Initech]

69. I don't even think he's built 4 miles.

And then the parts that were built blew over across the border. Because Trump is a real life Krusty the Klown and all he does is hawk crappy, poorly produced merchandise to idiots that will buy it.

[Coyote45]

64. old softie

Obviously Trump is going to try to get into Mexico and get a plane to Venezuela and then to ?

[Evolve Dammit]

66. If he has ideas of being at the historic site, he may want to know that it did not end well... nt

[Rebl2]

67. I knew it

yesterday morning. How did they not know?

[Peachhead22]

70. I'm surprised he didn't have a rally at Alamo Rent-a-Car by mistake

lol
