He didn't, of course. Yet another liberal screecher trying to pretend Trump said something terrible, getting frustrated because Trump didn't say it, and so lying about what Trump said.

And the leftist hysterics wonder why nobody listens to them any more.
Except he kind of did.

"Under existing rules of engagement, deployed troops should use deadly force only “when there is a reasonable belief” the subject “poses an imminent threat of death or serious bodily harm.”


"In his remarks, Trump said that “there’s not much difference” between a firearm and getting hit in the face with a rock.

“They want to throw rocks at our military, our military fights back,” the president said. “We’ll consider — and I told them — consider it a rifle. When they throw rocks like they did at the Mexico military and police, I say consider it a rifle.”

Subtleties aren't your strong point. He DID say enough to KNOW that he did. Anyway, it's a stupid person that sends thousands of troops to a border now, when the group may be me months away.

Or can you explain that piece of brilliance?

Reported by CNN, President Trump said "American troops, will have permission to open fire, on unarmed migrants, if they throw rocks"

I watched the press conference and I heard nothing of the sort come out of the President's mouth. Oh wait.....its CNN - fake news entertainment

So...are the soldiers supposed to stand there and do nothing while rocks are getting thrown at them? Are they supposed to do nothing if the illegals try to force their way into the US?

No one is "kidnapping children". Do you realize that many of these kids were with adults who weren't related to them? In other words, they were being trafficked.

It's absolutely insane that you want soldiers to just stand there and do nothing while under attack---and want kids to stay with traffickers

Exclamation U.S. military assessment of caravan doesn't match Trump's panic

https://www.haystack.tv/v/military-a...-rachel-maddow


Once again "THE MORON-IN-CHIEF" is proven to be a total PATHOLOGICAL LYING/NO-IQ IDIOT! All those in his administration that have called him an "f-ing moron" are SPOT-ON! Tax-payers will be forced to pay for these troops to deploy at the border for an estimated(by our military) 1,400 NON-THREATENING asylum-seekers!

The explanation is, that the election is just 6 days away. His idiot cultists need a boost to get them to vote.

Trump Suggested Troops Will Shoot Migrants Who Throw Rocks At The Border
President Trump on Thursday suggested US troops could shoot anyone from the caravan of Central American migrants who throws a rock at authorities at the border because "there's not much difference" between a stone and a gun.
Former members of the military balked at the remarks online, saying no officer would let soldiers shoot at a person who threw a rock.
