and I'm not watching them anymore . They're helping him promote hate , fear ,and lies . Now they show these people he's desperate to show are criminals , and claim we're the victims with, but they are the victims , and he's just victimizing them again. He wants to invade , and bomb them. He wants a war , and to kill people. This guy wants to kill people , not help them.

Hard to be fearful of a woman who is fleeing Honduras with her three small children because gangs killed her husband and she's terrified that is she remained in Honduras, she and her children would be next.

There's also coverage of Trump's "unsubstantiated conspiracy theories" in regards to the migrants. At least there is on CBS.

One has to be pretty far gone to fall for Trump's fear game plan.
