“Separately, a new Monmouth University poll found that just 23% support the Senate border bill and that 47% said it was “not tough enough” on border security. Just 12% said the bill was “too tough.” Restores my faith in American voters. https://t.co/YHmaDObUeD

Above all I think the average viewer won’t be able to make any sense at all of what Trump meant after viewing these clip fragments. Not like Biden’s got him with smoking gun.

I think Trump was specifically NOT saying what Biden suggests he was saying: that the bill made it easier to secure the border and that’s why he (Trump) opposed it.

Odd on many levels. #1 the bill *did* say 5,000/day, not 5,000/week-which Trump eventually notes (Biden cuts off the video). #2 Pretty clearly Trump meant the bill made it easier for loose-borders advocates-“the opposing side.” That’s only “America” if America wants loose… https://t.co/bc60hLcEkB https://t.co/XSZDLiPgVm
