RWNJ Tomi Lahren on Fox & Friends. Here's their tweet about it, with video:

Notice the chyron there:
CARAVAN OF ILLEGAL IMMIGRANTS HEADED TO U.S.
Trump's tweet, which followed his "Happy Easter" tweet by an hour and a half:

Editing to add that Trump might be particularly fond of Tomi Lahren now because she suggested last week that Trump can't be impeached because he won the election "and the American people have spoken":

She was ridiculed for that on Twitter as well. For instance:

A couple of French Fries short of a Happy Meal, I'm thinking that Tomi was homeschooled by #BetsyDeVos

Fox should rename their morning show "The President's Daily Briefing with Steve Doocy, Brian Kilmeade, and Ainsley Earhardt".
And I'm sure he'd love to do some "consulting" with Tomi. She very likely reminds him of Ivanka.

Seriously if I had this worldview where I was miserable all the time and paranoid about everything to the point where I can no longer function or find any joy in the world, Id hope someone would have the decency to euthanize me humanely. These people are tortured, deeply sad and disturbed, likely beyond help.

There is, apparently, a group of people from Honduras and El Salvador, a large percentage of whom are women and children, who are walking through Mexico (not really a "caravan," since that implies vehicles), intending to seek asylum in the U.S. They can't be called "illegal" immigrants since they are not actually in the U.S., illegally or otherwise. (If they do receive asylum - which is doubtful, considering - they won't be "illegal." ) This is what's got Trump and Fox all freaked out. http://www.laht.com/article.asp?ArticleId=2453477&CategoryId=14091

The Velveteen Ocelot
(115,829 posts)But I'm sure Trump thinks, or at least means that others should think, that this caravan is comprised of busloads of thousands of crazed criminals who intend to swarm the border for the purpose of bringing in drugs and raping white women.
Demit
(11,238 posts)I guess because Americans' first reference point is "Dodge Caravan"?
Anyway, the Latin American Herald Tribune article explains what's happening very well. Also uses the word 'caravan' multiple times. Thanks for linking to it. People should read it.

(38,009 posts)Organized by a group of volunteers called Pueblos Sin Fronteras, or People Without Borders, the caravan is intended to help migrants safely reach the United States, bypassing not only authorities who would seek to deport them, but gangs and cartels who are known to assault vulnerable migrants.
Organizers like Rodrigo Abeja hope that the sheer size of the crowd will give immigration authorities and criminals pause before trying to stop them.
If we all protect each other we'll get through this together, Abeja yelled through a loudspeaker on the morning they left Tapachula, on Mexico's border with Guatemala, for the nearly monthlong trek...

(7,434 posts)... but she'll have to compete with 23 year-old Caroline Sunshine. Trumpy is going to the meme, "You're smart and beautiful, just like... Ivanka's daughter!" Trumpy may be ready to toss Ivanka under the bus. She's losing her cutsie daughter appeal and is beginning to show signs of "Death to Glamor", MIDDLE AGE. Trumpy is apparently ready to move on to fresh young things Lahren and Sunshine.
If Fox and Friends came up with "new evidence" that the world is flat, Trumpy would be all in with his tweets about a round earth being fake news. What's more dangerous is if F&F decided to air phony studies about the effectiveness of torture or the inferior intelligence of blacks. Trumpy would pop an artery, but in a good way.

Just look at his other appointments who are incompetent followers willing to say or do anything to please the dictators wishes.

MEXICO CITY (Reuters) - More than 100 Central American migrants, including dozens of minors, were found crowded inside a sweltering truck without food or water in Mexico en route to the United States, authorities said on Friday.
The 136 migrants, from Honduras, Guatemala, El Salvador and Nicaragua, were rescued in the violent southeastern state of Veracruz after 24 hours in temperatures above 100 degrees Fahrenheit (38 Celsius), Mexicos migration institute INM said.
Tens of thousands of Central Americans fleeing violence and poverty in their homelands aim to pass through Mexico to the United States every year, often transported by human traffickers who subject them to perilous conditions.
More than 800 Central American migrants have been found in truck trailers or safe houses in Mexico so far this year, according to a government document seen by Reuters.
