Trump to visit Marine base in Yuma before Phoenix rally

Source: San Francisco Chronicle

YUMA, Arizona (AP) — The White House says President Donald Trump is scheduled to visit a Marine Corps base in Arizona along the U.S.-Mexico border.

Trump is set to visit Marine Air Station Yuma on Tuesday afternoon before he travels to Phoenix to hold a rally.

Yuma's location along the U.S.-Mexico border touches on one of Trump's signature issues: his call for putting up a border wall to stem illegal immigration from Mexico.

The rally in Phoenix will take place at the city's convention center. Trump tweeted about the event last week with a link for ticket availability.

minus the cost of flying his campaign crew in coach. Such a deal. Bush Jr. used to do this all the time -- almost bankrupted some smaller town because of police overtime.

for us. Every time he opens his mouth he says something offensive, idiotic, crazy, a provable lie or all four. Then his poll numbers drop. Good...keep talking!

had a counter protest planned for the Phoenix event. Instead of protesting, we ordered tickets to the 'rally' but won't attend. We're hoping for a bunch of empty seats. I thought that was clever.
