'The caravan makes me very sad': Trump says he’s sending US military troops to the Mexico border
David Edwards 03 APR 2018 AT 12:57 ET

President Donald Trump on Tuesday revealed that he would send troops to the U.S. border and said that a so-called “caravan” of migrants made him “very sad.”

During remarks from the Cabinet Room, Trump spoke about his plan to secure the border in lieu of a sprawling border wall.

“We are going to be guarding our border with our military. That’s a big step,” he told reporters before accusing President Barack Obama making “changes that basically created no border.”

According to Trump, Mexico broke up a “caravan” of migrants who were heading to the United States because he told them too.

1. Sad???? the only emotions that blob of orange suet experiences are lust, greed, hatred, and anger.

3. I think Shitler wants to invade Mexico after the left comes into power there

The "caravan" is just an excuse to pre-position US military on the border.

5. would not put that sort of thing past that egomaniacal, treasonous bastard.

7. That's so insane I wouldn't put it past him considering it.

[Eliot Rosewater]

2. He very much wants to kill Mexicans, especially the president and others who wont do what

he wants.

He hopes there is a way to antagonize them into war so he can kill them all.

4. Somebody taught that pinhead a new word... and he's going to beat it like it owes him money.

[gratuitous]

6. The military? Did we declare war on someone?

I'm usually pretty knowledgeable about declarations of war passed by Congress. I don't remember one being passed lately, but I was caught up in the NCAA basketball championships the last couple of days.

8. Not yet but Fuhrer Dump will have US military troops stationed on the Mexican border

awaiting an unfortunate provocation soon to come, no doubt.

[malthaussen]

9. At this point, he's just flapping his jaws...

... because something shiny caught his eye. Actually doing what he threatens will be difficult -- and it might distract from his parade.

Still, a war with Mexico can't be ruled out, I suppose. I believe the GOP thinks a war with somebody is the only way they can salvage the midterms.

11. Mexico doesn't have nukes either

So bonus points for that.

Commander Bone Spurs confidence just went up a notch.

10. I am convinced TRUMP thinks the US military is his own personal security service.

Trump thinks the US military is his for use in getting even with those he feels slighted by. How long before he demands in invasion of, oh, I don't know, California?

All of this reminds me of Wisconsin Governor Scott Walker, who for eight years has used the Wisconsin State Patrol and his own personal security detail.

12. This is the Bannon racist fantasy

15. Moving US troops to the Mexican border

will be red meat to Trumps deplorables.

Red damn meat!

They will forget the BS tax cut that was supposed to help them. They will forget the cratering stock market, the lack of coal mining jobs, the factory jobs not coming back.

The lack of health care access, the inflation sure to fire up in Trumps trade wars.

They will forget it all in an orgy of hate against all brown skinned people! A mass wave of hate is coming hard for all Latinos in the USA, you can bet your ass on that!

[Wellstone ruled]

13. Can not imgine the screaming and yelling in

the Pentagon today.

[marble falls]

14. Jebus crisp. Now Cheetolini's alerting the troops over an hallucination. He must have read something

from the Onion or by Andy Borowitz.

[malthaussen]

16. Nope, he saw it on "Fox and Friends."

Which is much better satire, these days.

17. The difference between a fairy-tail and a Fox & Friends item is F&F starts off, "This just in...!...

Fairy-tails go, "Once upon a time....".

[workinclasszero]

18. Yep, always Fox & friends

The only "intell brief" Shitler will take every day.
