That is all you need to understand.

I truly have sympathy for you, because of your Trump fueled apocalyptic views. It must be very difficult to live in such fear with so much hatred.


Actually it is a great tragedy that we Americans have allowed Trump to rob us of so much hope, beauty, truth and all good virtues that we once celebrated.

I don't get it. 300 Americans leave the country each week, 90% through the Southern border? So the wall will be built to stop that?
Makes about as much sense as his front lawn news conference before jetting to the border.

Drug deaths off the illegal drugs crossing the border.

And just think, it's kinda a dumb comment to make, if 90% is coming through "legal ports of entry", how much is just walking over the border. Can you provide the ratio difference between what is caught just walking over the border vs what is caught at the legal entry points?
Can you prove heroin is getting in from Mexico? It's not like heroin has Made In Mexico label stamped on it.

Most likely drugs, and overdoses, but he cannot comprehend the fact that vast majority of drugs come through official ports of entry, and a wall will do nothing to fix that.

He is trying to make it sound like all heroin comes in keistered in migrants butts, but it is simply not true.

Drugs come up by boat, plane, via tunnels, in cars through ports of entry, ...

The idea that the cartels are moving heroin in the pockets of folks swimming across the Rio Grande is ludicrous.

This tweet and those defending it make about as much sense as anything these days.

If he meant 300 OD every week, he contradicts his own DEA.

Heroin mostly enters the US concealed in vehicles that enter at the 47 legal border crossings. 1 million people cross the border at legal crossing each and every day. Drones and boats are also used.

It’s Fentanyl and that is the primary cause of OD. Most of this is manufactured in China and shipped to the US in cargo.

Dope is typically cut many times during the supply chain in the US.

Contradicts his own DEA.

A portion of his base will believe anything he tweets/ says.

Sad.
