Trump saying Dems funded the Caravan - More likely he did

[ksoze]

Who has more to gain by the press of immigrants stacked up at the border or on bridges waiting to being "terror and crime" to the U.S.? These images are tailor made for Trump's hate which he will need to GOTV.

The one issue he used to get elected is no now in play two weeks before mid-terms.....

1. Is this the "Reichstag fire" we've all been worried about?

Or does he have something worse planned.
I feel for those migrants, that are just trying to flee for their lives.

2. Trump can't fund shit

He’s broke

[ksoze]

4. He doesn't need to - others do his dirty work for him

Will never have his signature or direct fingerprints - but his cabal would do it.

[Loki Liesmith]

8. I could believe that

But the reporting indicates it was funded by friends and loved ones of the marchers.

18. He can use dark money just like many of his predecessors.

Oliver North ring any bells?

3. If Trump is accusing Democrats, GOP operatives are behind it

[erronis]

11. That seems to be the way it works - whatever he says is the opposite of reality.

5. As Melania would say, if you were an abuse survivor,...why should we believe a word you say?

Absolutely no evidence to back it up and prior incidences of outright lying and making shit up for purely political gain. BE BEST

6. I don't know that reminding everyone about his brutality toward immigrant children...

...is a big plus for him.

I think his monobrow supporters would consider that a positive -- I don't think that's the case for most other Americans.

7. It's not a caravan, it's an exodus...

9. I think someone is stoking them.

And, I think it's coming from the Right.

10. Check the dark RW money

They own this

[2naSalit]

12. Most likely he or one of his funders...nt

[elmac]

13. yep, its timing leads me to believe that it was planned

and funded by a deep pocket fascist, Sheldon Adelson or Koch.

[George II]

14. We should all start spreading that around. When they ask "what proof do you have?", we respond....

...."the same proof that Democrats paid for it!"

[RainCaster]

19. Only twice as much!

Because two times nothing is still nothing

[lostnfound]

15. Projection, as usual. Nt

[Ferrets are Cool]

16. I have thought this all along. nt

17. more on DJT

He can and will say anything, we all know he can't tell the truth about anything, he just throws out anything and unfortunately, there are certain people that believe him and either don't care that he lies or too stupid to know.

20. Trump is outrageously exaggerating

The people in the "caravan" number a few thousand at best. Never mind that it would be impossible for them to vote even if they did make it into the US, their numbers would hardly influence an election.

Just saw a sound byte where he said "millions" are "flooding" our border. They are at the Mexican border, and who knows if they would make it all the way to the US border.

I don't know why Dems aren't speaking to this more, it's so ludicrous. Trumpists are being outrageous on social media with their panic over what is really not a lot of people. The pictures just make it look like more than a few thousand. They make it look like half of Honduras is leaving.

This is a sad humanitarian situation, and there's no sense of that from the media.

21. Not far from the truth

Trump has favored the corrupt government and the presidency of Juan Orlando Hernandez who was re-elected in a fraudulent election.
