5:23 pm
with mexico will on thursday trump tweeted that it is being built and that it's and that existing fences are being renovated but that isn't enough for some is. now reports. make america great again the slogan many trump supporters chose to stand behind wearing his signature maggot hats with pride. and now they're burning them let's work america great again we love truck we love true. violence several campaign promises leaves me no choice. so why are they angry well in their eyes trump has softened his top stance on immigration one of his key campaign promises he's now negotiating a deal with democrats to protect young undocumented migrants and there's no
