Trump’s Own Team Knows His Caravan Claims Are Bullshit

Donald Trump and his political allies have embarked on an aggressive, end-of-the-campaign effort to drum up fear among voters about a caravan of poor migrants several thousand miles from the U.S.-Mexico border. Much of it is mistruths and embellishments, but Trumpland could care less.

“It doesn’t matter if it’s 100 percent accurate,” a senior Trump administration official told The Daily Beast. “This is the play.”

… For Republicans, the sharp turn toward immigration fears, and those related to the caravan in particular, has been viewed a clear political winner, even as some acknowledge that the rhetoric from the president and others—including the accusation that philanthropist and Democratic financier George Soros was funding the caravan—has been overblown.

“Soros is probably not masterminding these people coming to the border,” conceded one GOP operative in an interview on Tuesday. “When it comes to allowing segments of the base to believe what they want to believe, it happens on both sides. Republicans are no more guilty of it than Democrats.”

How many is several?
 
I think the way to decrease mass migrations is to make life in those countries from which folks are fleeing even worse than it is, if we can. We need to punish them all.

Sort of like with underperforming schools—take away resources!


Makes sense.
 
How many is several?

imminent<people walking<probably a month

Unless Soros puts them on his super secret underground Elon Musk designed Mexico super tube that stops in your voting district.
 
You just gave silk an idea for an r/thedonald post.
 
Next time anyone is tempted to list Mattis as one of the adults in the room, remember the time he deployed thousands of members of the military to the border to help Republicans build the narrative they think will win an election.
 
Wait until those soldiers come back with their heroic tales from their time in the military.
 
The soldiers are all from the red states that think this is a big deal. Probably not a winning strategy to try to convince them it’s not.

Yeh the US military has a reputation for not following orders.
 
The caravan is bringing LEPROSY:

it’s shitty troll game time. yay!
 
Someone get Fox News vaccination rates for Central American countries I think they may be shocked, they won’t care, but shocked nonetheless
 
We probably send those countries the vaccines unused by the moron anti vaxxers in the US who watch crap like that.
 
Trump had a brilliant idea. If he cuts aid to these countries, things will get worse, and they will stop coming!
