Trump's Upcoming Border Visit Inspires Lots Of Snark From Twitter Users
President Donald Trump is planning to visit the U.S.-Mexico border on Thursday to promote his proposed border wall.
White House press secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders announced the visit Monday on Twitter:
President @realDonaldTrump will travel to the Southern border on Thursday to meet with those on the frontlines of the national security and humanitarian crisis. More details will be announced soon.

Details may be announced later, but the snark from Twitter users started immediately.
He must be excited to tell the border agents that they won't be getting paid for their work. Donald has done that with all his other businesses.

Of course, people had questions. Lots of questions.
Is going to pick up a check from Mexico?

Is he going to throw out paper towels? https://t.co/oD085YPGA5

Some brought up false or misleading information from the Trump administration about the security threat posed by people crossing the border.

I hope he is safe from the 4,000 terrorists on the border, are there going to be enough unpaid secret service agents there?

Others hoped the media might cover the visit with the proper perspective.
This was in reporting last week - that Trump was focused on "optics" opportunity for his wall.
Media - hoping you have learned from the disastrous Super Bowl type coverage you gave to his Singapore Summit. And will cover this appropriately - as the charade it is! https://t.co/xcsz8mN4aQ— Amy Siskind 🏳️🌈 (@Amy_Siskind) January 7, 2019
But one person was pretty sure what was really going to happen during the visit.
Reality: he's going to spread lies, meet with border agents / officials sympathetic to his anti-immigrant cause, and will ignore the kids he has locked up in Tornillo. https://t.co/Y52eL4ee10
