Posted by my sister on Facebook. I think she nailed it.

We had numerous acts of terrorism in our country last week.

Not by people in a caravan.
Not by people from Mexico.
Not by people from Yemen.
Not by people from Iran or Libya or Syria.
Not by Muslems or "illegals".

No, the terrorism came from white nationalists, home grown and radicalized in the United States.

I am terrified at the ugly direction our country has taken.

He wants us distracted from what Putin is presently doing , so he creates a false narrative the caravan a thousand miles away from the border , probably a month or more from getting there is such an immediate threat he has to send troops there because he again falsely claims they are all criminals , and now suggesting some are from the Middle east . Its all smoke and mirrors and bait and switch from this guy to protect Putin, and the real threat , his hackers which trump says and does nothing about. That's how you know he's involved or he'd be attacking them. Its also used to create hate and fear with his propaganda and lies. He also uses it to radicalize his supporters with. This is also used to promote this as a PR event. We have a terrorist loose in the White House now. Every day he looks at ways to divide and terrorize the American people, then claims its the media's fault, again. How can people vote for that, or for people in Congress that support that , and all the lying and corruption going on.

That thing in our White House wants GOPers in control of both houses of Congress so there will be no check on his abuse of power. He imagines himself the modern Mussolini to Putin's Hitler.

He's a dangerous fool.

Trump has insulted and demonized almost every segment of our society other than his base.

Considering the current rate at which he pumps out his bullshit, I often wonder how much more fear his base can withstand without exploding. Surely many of these folks are going to need psychiatric help...and soon.
