With less than a week until the midterm elections, President Trump on Wednesday said he was deploying “many more troops” to the U.S. southern border. Trump has already deployed more than 5,000 troops to the border over a caravan that is still about 1,000 miles away from the U.S.
Our military is being mobilized at the Southern Border. Many more troops coming. We will NOT let these Caravans, which are also made up of some very bad thugs and gang members, into the U.S. Our Border is sacred, must come in legally. TURN AROUND!

Deployed to sit around and do nothing except play pinochle and waste taxpayer dollars. Like Republicans!
Our Border is Sacred? Huh. Maybe these folks are just making a pilgrimage there?
I think Donny is missing an opportunity. He could be setting up a bunch of Trump Brand Gift Shops ® and sell bricks for The Wall.®
Pffftt!
Using our military for buffoonish political stunts like this is one of the signs of our democracy slipping away from us. Just saying.
They’re not your toy soldiers, cap’n bonespur. This is transparent bullshit. What’s horrifying is that it may work.
