Trump's visit to the border city comes four days after two shooters killed 31 people in El Paso and Dayton, Ohio, and injuring dozens more.

Only one welcomes Trump as part of 'formal duty'

The only local political office to welcome the president on his westward trip to El Paso was Mayor Dee Margo.

In El Paso, Margo, a Republican, said the president would be welcomed in an “official capacity.”

“Which I consider is my formal duty,” he said.

5. I couldn't find that photo in the story.

I saw a picture of cops doing what they were told - standing there uncomfortably for Trump to shake their hands. I found a couple of cops sitting on a bus. Is there a photo in the spread that I did not find?

4. Ok but that's not enough. He must be publicly rejected. Shamed.

Democrats for some reason don’t understand public relations. They should be on TV telling Trump he is unwanted. They should be at his press conference CRITICIZING him and telling him to leave. Telling him to go home.

Dems need to show the middle third of the country that this is a national crisis and a fake president. You only do THAT by acting like it’s an abnormal time.
It’s a crisis. The president is a crisis. Start acting like it!!

6. "formal duty"

Must be some arm twisting going on?

Repub or Dem.... Margo only needs to answer to the citizens of El Paso. Not to the Orange Idiot who contributed to their deaths.
