His base thrives on the fear of poor brown people (fear that they will somehow take their jobs, rape their wives, and give them the measles). He's not afraid of them... he's pandering to the base.

Those 4k can stop in Mexico for a better life, why do they need to come here?

Yet Trump is threating to close the border and call up the military for protection against a few unarmed civilians!


You would think Russia and China are invading for all of his hype.


I say its nothing but political propaganda.
I would agree the thread is political propaganda.

The invasion force coming this way is an economic threat and the weaker the economy the more difficult it is to offer a defense.

It's about sending a message to the 40,000,000 poor south Americans not in the caravan. If nothing is done to stop them, the caravans will grow larger and more frequent. If the caravan is stopped or at least encounters stiff resistance, then more of those 40 million may decide it's not worth it to join the next caravan.

This is why Trump is president and why he will be re-elected. Whether he will need to or not, the Mexicans don’t want the border closed and have already dispatched federales to stop the caravan. Trump’s strength is working.

Kind of amazing that you even have to point this out. It's obvious to anyone that engages their brain.

The low IQ will downplay anything they don't understand as a way to cope with their ignorance on issues. Reducing it to three letter words is what they understand but that's no surprise. Its expected.

Not the left, obviously.

Politics hasn't been this much fun in years, mainly because he's not willing to curl up and die under leftist caterwauling, tantrums, and assaults (as so many past right-leaning presidents have been willing to do). His recent reply to Pelosi, in itself, is enough to justify the price of admission.

In My opinion, it is a definite threat. Trump is not doing enough to secure our border.

Liberals have no problem with 1 billion people to the south of us living in socialist hell. In fact, they applause all the “brown” (their term) socialist dictators that have economically destroyed those countries.
