You say youre with us with the war on terror but youve done more than enough to complicate our venture there. President trump is going to phoenix thursday night. The mayor of phoenix said president not to make the trip. A number of protest groups are expected. Those attending and protesting, that the temperature is expected to be north of 100 degrees.
