Trump Says He's Sending 'Armed Soldiers' to Border Following Incident
Source: Bloomberg
WASHINGTON President Donald Trump said he plans to send armed soldiers to the southern U.S. border, once again blasting Mexico for not doing nearly enough to apprehend migrants.
Mexicos Soldiers recently pulled guns on our National Guard Soldiers, probably as a diversionary tactic for drug smugglers on the Border, he wrote in a Wednesday morning tweet. Better not happen again! We are now sending ARMED SOLDIERS to the Border. Mexico is not doing nearly enough in apprehending & returning!
The April 13 incident actually involved Mexican soldiers briefly confronting U.S. counterparts in Texas, with the Mexican soldiers believing that they were on their own soil, according to accounts from the Pentagon and Mexicos Foreign Ministry.
Mexican President Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador was conciliatory after being told of Trumps tweets on Wednesday.

(182,949 posts)I'd guess that way out in the dessert there could be some uncertainty as to where exactly the border is. Just a guess.

Fox journalist recognizes how dangerous it is at the border.
Tactical protective gear for the tv camera
Reporter/journalist wore a backpack/diaper bag on his front to look like bomb/bullet protective gear
As he heroically went into a 'danger' zone.
The Internet was merciless in ridiculing him.
Lots of photoshop.

(1,568 posts)While amusing to see this guy look like an ass. It's scary when you think about what his intent was. I don't think it was just for him to "look cool", but rather to subtly continue to plant the idea about how dangerous our southern border is and why we must all be afraid. Sadly this works too well. I know a few people who only watch fox news and I'm always amazed how skewed their view of reality is.
