We're talking about Trump here...every time we think that he can't or won't do something...he does!

5,200 active duty troops initially, with the possibility of raising that number to 14,000.


You don't need 5,200 troops to provide helicopter support and if their job is to build camps, then you send in engineers and support personnel...not combat troops and you don't send them in armed!!!


But you could be right!!!!

That would eliminate the "threat" of "invasion", which is the only reason he's Trumping it all up

with more people than what's coming here. Cruise ships bring thousands of people to Mexico (and other Caribbean ports) every day and they handle it just fine. Welcome them even!

an opinion from anyone willing to respond to a question they receive. They keep asking me to opine about stuff I know nothing about. Not creditable.
