Trump: ‘We Are Sealing Up Our Southern Border’ While ‘Dems Have Been a Disaster’ On Issue

After a bit of Twitter silence this morning, the president is back to being extremely online.

After announcing that he had spoken to Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau to offer his condolences for a tragic bus crash involving a Canadian junior hockey team that resulted in at least 14 fatalities, the president tossed out some tweets about tariffs on China and the deployment of the National Guard to the US-Mexico border.

The United States hasn’t had a Trade Surplus with China in 40 years. They must end unfair trade, take down barriers and charge only Reciprocal Tariffs. The U.S. is losing $500 Billion a year, and has been losing Billions of Dollars for decades. Cannot continue!

We are sealing up our Southern Border. The people of our great country want Safety and Security. The Dems have been a disaster on this very important issue!

— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) April 7, 2018

With Arizona and Texas announcing that they are sending 400 National Guard troops to the border after Defense Secretary James Mattis approved paying for the deployment, the president tweeted that “[w]e are sealing up the Southern Border.”

Adding that the American people deserve “Safety and Security,” Trump took shots at Democrats, stating they’ve “been a disaster on this very important issue!”
