FURIOUS protesters greeted US President Donald Trump yesterday as he visisted El Paso and Dayton, sites of last weekend’s mass shootings.

Residents and local politicians in both cities criticised Mr Trump for his rhetoric and lack of action on gun control.

Mr Trump and his wife Melania visited emergency service workers and survivors of the two attacks, which took place within hours of one another and left a total of 31 people dead.
