Trump in a call to activists just now emphasized the beauty of his wall compared to past barrier:. "You see this stuff that was being put up it was disgusting, it was terrible…. With the rusted steel and the top plates and so on. I wouldn’t want that in my backyard either."

3. Trump on coining his new slogan, Build the Wall and Crime will Fall: "I said 'let's make it a theme for 2 years until its finished.' It doesn't get any simpler than that. I was going to include "drugs"....but it stopped my beautiful poetry to put the words in."

5. @pressherald invited to the call. Kelly Ann Conway tells everyone it's off-record and journalists should hang up. Trump greets journalists, wishing them a "good day" and everyone else a "great day." At end of call, Trump asks journalists to report it correctly.
