What happened

President Donald Trump sat down with Rachel Campos-Duffy on Fox Noticias, in a recap carried by the White House.

On a Supreme Court case, Trump said, once the fake news is removed, the administration won nine to nothing, as he stated the decision, and that whether the man at issue stays is really a decision for the government of El Salvador, since he is from El Salvador, as he described the case.

Trump said the border is very, very secure right now, and that legislation was not needed — a president was needed to say that’s it, no more people coming in, as he put it. He cited a statistic that for a long period only nine people came in, taken in because of medical problems such as a heart attack, as he stated it. He said he built 571 miles of wall, as he stated the mileage, taking the money from the military after calling the situation an invasion because Congress was not in a giving mood, and argued walls work — walls and wheels being the two things that never change, as he put it.

Trump also praised no tax on tips, no tax on overtime and no tax on Social Security for seniors, as he listed the proposals, and a deduction of interest on cars made in America, saying a record number of car factories and other factories are coming back, as he stated the trend. The recap closed with the host offering to teach him to say Make America Great Again in Spanish.

Why it matters

The Spanish-language interview recap is the border claim aimed at a Hispanic audience: security achieved by presidential direction and wall mileage, paired with the tax proposals.
