A viral video circulating on social media perfectly encapsulates the dueling visits to the US-Mexico border in Texas Thursday by America’s Democrat and Republican presidential frontrunners.
The video contrasts how the energized former President Donald Trump commands respect and reverence from law enforcement, while the enfeebled Joe Biden slowly creeps around with an unexcited entourage.
Trump toured the frontlines of the border crisis in Eagle Pass accompanied by Texas Gov. Greg Abbott (R) and Border Patrol Union President Brandon Judd, stopping to greet several law enforcement officers who were happy to meet him.
Contrastingly, Biden toured a much less-active illegal border crossing in Brownsville, accompanied by disgraced Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas, who was impeached by the US House of Representatives last month.

President Biden was seen shuffling along with Border Patrol agents who needed to slow down so he could keep up with them.

Such a stark contrast.
Strength vs literal weakness.

During his visit, Trump slammed the “Biden Migrant Crime” being imported into the US as a direct result of the administration’s open border policies.

Trump is at the border and just confirmed that he spoke to the parents of Laken Riley:

Meanwhile, during his second ever trip to the border, Biden at times appeared confused on what he was doing or where to go.

The night and day difference between the two candidates’ visits was highlighted by Gov. Greg Abbott, who pointed out Biden only planned the visit after Trump had announced his trip.
