During former President Donald Trump’s visit to the U.S.-Mexico border in Eagle Pass, Texas, an unexpected and humorous moment occurred. Trump, accompanied by Governor Greg Abbott and Texas law enforcement officials, toured the Shelby Park area and interacted with National Guard troops and personnel. The visit coincided with a standoff between Texas and the Biden Administration over control of a public park in Eagle Pass.
Trump, acknowledging the nice weather but describing the border as “very dangerous,” expressed his commitment to addressing the situation. The former president warmly greeted the Texas National Guard troops and law enforcement personnel, shaking hands and engaging with them during the tour.
Notably, as Trump waved across the border, a group of people on the Mexican side responded with enthusiasm, waving back and chanting “Trump.” Amused by the unexpected show of support, Trump commented, “They love Trump. Can you believe it?” with a smirk.
The lighthearted moment added a humorous touch to Trump’s visit to the border, showcasing his continued popularity among some individuals on both sides of the border. The visit took place amid heightened tensions between Texas and the federal government over border control measures and policies.
