it is certainly possible that Trump, or more intelligent and devious people like Stephen Miller, wanted pressure to build at the border in the hopes of engineering a scene like this so Trump could look tough. However, when people go crazy over the tear gas incident they actually play right into Miller's hands. He and his cohorts want the focus to be on rioting at the border and not on the humanitarian issues that are actually causing it.
I know you don’t mean this post to sound as awful as it sounds, but damn. You seem to forget that those attempting to cross the border have motivations to do so that many of us can never comprehend.
We treat politics as a game in the United States, but that’s a privilege of perspective.
