So is the plan du jour he'll sign an executive order banning asylum?

As the cornered rat-bastard gets more desperate, he'll be cranking the HATE to an eleven on a scale of ten.

He'll get himself all lathered up before he jets off to Missouri to again lie his ass off.

Come on Mother Nature, take your toll on this fucker.

Desperately trying to drum up enough hysteria over poor women and children in strollers 100s of miles from the border to get people to vote red out of fear on Tuesday.

Why doesn’t he address this issue?

And he’s certainly acting out his racist fantasies. I wish Congress would censure him for hate speech.

Trump and his group of Neo Nazis are not hammering immigration just because they are racists, they think this is a winner for them, and they have research that says it is.

Trump is performing specifically for his base of ignorant Trumptards. Get them worked up over "the approaching invasion" so they will flock to the polls in their red hats and vote for Republicans who have embraced him, by making them think there is a major war about to erupt at our border and only he can stop it. If he gives a national address it makes it sound more war-like - to the dumbest people on the planet.

They are overtly racist, most of their visible supporters are overtly racist. That's clear, but what they are counting on is that a whole bunch of other white people are also racist, but just keep it to themselves until they get to the voting booth.

That they are picking this issue isn't an accident, they have research suggesting this will help them dramatically on Tuesday.

to be frank, just plain outright selfishness. For example, I personally know a gun humper who would never miss voting in an election because he is afraid that if democrats take control they will reinstate the assault weapons ban. I don't see or recognize a silent racist tinge in this person at all, he just doesn't care what happens to others as long as he can keep his AR-15. He has a Masters Degree, hangs out with a very diverse group of people he calls friends. He doesn't care about racism, climate, abortion, LGBT rights, education, the cost of health care. He doesn't give the first thought to any of that. To him, life is all about his guns. He doesn't care if people he calls friends have pre-existing conditions in their families that would ruin them financially without affordable health care, he's still voting for Republicans, and then be the first to start a "go fund me page" for his "friend" with the diabetic child who can't afford the cost of having diabetes.

Trump doesn't need to invent a war on the border to get this guy to the polls. He's already gone and voted his straight Republican ticket, and I wouldn't place him in any kind of classification other than "selfish".

No one else has anything to gain...not George Soros, not the other Democrats, no one else...more to gain than him and the failing GOP. If they put out the lies about Soros just to get in peoples
minds there needs to be a counter conspiracy to give people something else to think about. And this one makes more sense because it is actually working in Trump's favor.
