President Trump said that he is considering a significant increase to the number of military personnel along the border, two days after he unveiled plans to send 5,200 troops there, the Washington Post reports.

He''ll threaten everyone because he can. and like everything else he's done he'll try to intimidate us with his powers of his position. Or start intentionally a war for distraction. Maybe in Mexico.
