President Trump lashed out at Democrats before he boarded Air Force One Thursday morning.
The President said the Democrats don’t care about Americans getting stabbed by illegal aliens and MS-13 gangbangers.
President Trump: “There is no reason we can’t come to a deal but we have another side that doesn’t care about border security. The Democrats, which I’ve been saying all along, they don’t give a damn about crime. They don’t care about gang members coming in and stabbing people and cutting people up.”
