"Today we started a big, beautiful wall right on the Rio Grande," says @POTUS at start of #MAGA rally in El Paso, #Texas.

"Hopefully we do as well with the second summit as we did with the first," says @POTUS of his upcoming meeting in #Vietnam with #DPRK leader Kim Jong Un.

For his #MAGA rally tonight in El Paso, @POTUS says 69,000 signed up to attend but fire marshals allowed only 10,000 inside.

"He has 200 people, 300 people. Not too good," says @POTUS of nearby counter-rally by @BetoORourke. "That may be the end of his presidential bid."

There appears to be a demonstrator at the #MAGA rally in El Paso, causing @POTUS to pause.

Now another pause. "You all right? Everything OK?" asks @POTUS.

A third interruption with crowd booing, chanting and clapping.

"Where do these people come from? Where do they come from," responds @POTUS. "They go back home to mommy. They get punished when they go home."

"Build the wall!" chants crowd.
"You really mean finish that wall because we've built a lot of it," replies @POTUS.

Another apparent disruption in the crowd.
"Is there any place that's more fun to be than a Trump rally?" asks @POTUS.

"This is more fun" in El Paso than delivering a "nice and calm" #SOTU address, adds @POTUS.

"Is this an incredible miracle that's going on?" asks @POTUS. "We want to keep it going" but @TheDemocrats are trying to stop it.

In #GND, @TheDemocrats "want to take away your car...your airplane flights" and make you take a train across the country, says @POTUS. "You're not allowed to own cows any more."

No collusion with #Russia, according to @POTUS -- but there's "collusion between the Democrats and the fake news right here. And they know it better than anybody."

"Who the hell wants to change what we're doing now?" asks @POTUS. "We're a hot, hot country."

Back to attacking #GND, @POTUS saying it would ban air travel, "would put millions of Americans out of work," cost $100 trillion and allow "the world's real polluters, like China" to "get our companies and factories."

"Some of the most dishonest people in media are the so-called fact checkers," according to @POTUS, speaking at #MAGA rally in El Paso, #Texas.

"I like him. Keeps us out of the papers," says @POTUS of #Virginia Governor @RalphNortham

"Millions of innocent beautiful babies are counting on us to protect them" from "execution," declares @POTUS opposing "extreme, late-term abortion."

This weekend, some Democrats advocated for the "release of thousands of criminal illegal aliens," including murderers," according to @POTUS, speaking of proposed cap on beds for @ICEgov detainees.

"I don't want to hear about it," @POTUS says of reported bipartisan compromise on border security funding. "I don't know what they mean, 'progress is being made.'"

"So we probably have some good news," adds @POTUS. "Who knows."

Building a wall, says @POTUS, "made a big difference...right here in El Paso."

El Paso's @mayor_margo "full of crap" for saying a wall didn't make a difference, declares @POTUS.

Musing about owning a dog, @POTUS asks the crowd "How would I look walking a dog on the White House lawn? I don't think so."

And @POTUS concludes his first #MAGA rally of the year which ran ~80 minutes.
