Trump tells rally crowd that Biden immigration policies have children ‘on suicide watch’

Donald Trump told a crowd at his first major rally since losing the election that Joe Biden’s immigration policies were leaving children “on suicide watch”.

During his speech in Wellington, Ohio, the former president resurrected one of his favourites from rallies past, an anti-immigration poem called The Snake.
