Crowds gathered today to greet President Trump upon his arrival at the airport in Texas. They also lined the streets waiting for the president’s motorcade to pass.
The mainstream media won’t show this:
There were pro and anti-wall protesters so things got a little tense with one Antifa protester attacking a Trump supporter (see below).
President Trump greeted people who had gathered at the local airport.
He raised his arms and clapped towards the crowd:

President Trump spoke with the border patrol while in McAllen and at the Rio Grande.
A rancher hands President Trump his belt buckle then the president made a joke about it…A funny moment.
"He's bribing the president!"

Americans who want the wall built await President Trump:
Sara Carter on the scene with Trump supporters and one Antifa protester who attacked a Trump supporter:
At the rally for #BuildThatWall w/ anti-Trump protesters as well in McAllen, Texas an anti-Trump protestor jumped a Trump supporter in the street. He was arrested and carted off to jail -there were no further incidents.
CNN’s Jim Acosta was called out for trying to report that there is no emergency to close the border:
I know someone who had a family friend in McAllen go through their daughter getting kidnapped, raped, and taken to Mexico and held for ransom. Reporters who treat those experiences as if they never happened or as a joke are the absolute worst. https://t.co/jg9oBoyWpk
