‘NEED WALL!’: Trump Heads to Easter Service After Threatening Mexico, Attacking Democrats
Donald Trump took a break from threatening DACA recipients and railing against the country’s “ridiculous liberal (Democrat) laws” to attend an Easter Sunday service in Florida—but not before threatening Mexico on Twitter and getting one final Democrat dig in with the press.
“Mexico is doing very little, if not NOTHING, at stopping people from flowing into Mexico through their Southern Border, and then into the U.S.,” the president’s extended Easter message read on Twitter. “They laugh at our dumb immigration laws. They must stop the big drug and people flows, or I will stop their cash cow, NAFTA. NEED WALL!”

“These big flows of people are all trying to take advantage of DACA,” the president baselessly claimed next. “They want in on the act!”

While entering, according to Bloomberg’s Justin Sink, the president advised Mexico “has got to help us at the border” and that Democrats “blew it” on DACA.
