The president gave a brief speech in Alamo, Texas, amid a backdrop of construction equipment and a section of the border wall. The barrier is one of the most solid landmarks of Trump’s legacy. The president spent years negotiating and conflicting with Democrats to secure funding for the project amid a surge in illegal crossings over the border with Mexico.
“We worked long and hard to get this done. They said it couldn’t be done. And we got it done: one of the largest infrastructure projects in the history of our country,” the president said.
Alamo officials hadn’t received any notifications about the president’s travel, according to a statement from City Manager Bobby Salinas.

“But there’s always a counter-move when they do that. I’ve never seen such anger as I see right now, and that’s a terrible thing.”
Speaking in Alamo, the president appeared entirely unphased by the hyper-partisan radioactivity from the breach of the Capitol. Democrats in the U.S. Congress and some Republicans have called on him to resign from office. Democrats led by House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) are seeking to impeach him, claiming that the president pushed an insurrectionist mob. They are also forcing Vice President Mike Pence to invoke the 25th Amendment to remove Trump from office.

“The impeachment hoax is a continuation of the greatest and most vicious witch hunt in the history of our country, and is causing tremendous anger and division and pain, far greater than most people will ever understand,” Trump said in Alamo.
“Now is the time for our nation to heal. And it’s time for peace and for calm.”
