Makes first public appearance since Jan 6 at border wall, briefly condemns violence

Five days after the Capitol attack, Trump made his first public appearance, visiting the U.S.-Mexico border wall in Alamo, Texas. He used the event to tout his border policies and, for the first time, briefly condemned the violence of January 6. Political observers and media commentators characterized his remarks as an attempt to deflect criticism and change the narrative, noting he did not take responsibility for inciting the riot.
