Trump arrives on Mexican border to rally supporters

President Donald Trump arrived at the US-Mexican border Tuesday, hoping to re-energize core supporters cooling to his crisis-riddled presidency and build momentum for a controversial border wall.

Trump was in Yuma, Arizona, where aides say he will tour a stretch of border fence before heading to Phoenix for a raucous campaign-style rally.

The event -- which typically features a stem-winding Trump speech -- will be the first of its kind since he sparked outrage by equivocating in his condemnation of a deadly neo-Nazi march in Virginia.

But the White House hopes this trip to Arizona can get the Trump train back on track.

His visit aims to tout the benefits of a border fence, turn up the heat on reluctant allies and demonstrate the president's determination to realize a central campaign pledge.

Saying "Mexico will not pay for your fucking wall"?

I would have loved it if that happened.
