It would be hard to live a life or everybody monitors your every word. I’m sure I couldn’t do it well. He either has the choice of reading a teleprompter and coming off as very disingenuous and stiff-necked. Or just talking, and being real - and that’s what his supporters love about him. I think it’s Much Ado About Nothing. He will be attacked from the left no matter what. He doesn’t need that from us.
If they touch American soil, they’re home free. They will not be allowed to touch American soil.
They won’t shoot. Treaties are included in the law of the land. We can’t fire i to Mexico.
If the invaders are coming from and thru Mexico, then we are just supposed to roll over and say oh well? Screw the treaties - if Mexico wont stop them, then Mexico has to take what comes - treaty or no.
On the other hand, 5000 unarmed, ammo-less troops aren’t much use either - if that is what occurs.
Doesn’t cover a large enough area?
They will have copied that tactic from the Muslims.
They are probing our weaknesses.
A confrontation like this has been inevitable for decades. Thank God we have President Trump in Office.
It did not happen before, because they (the globalists, progressives, one-worlders) were winning without it.
Psy-ops...no way in heck PDJT or Mattis will divulge how may troops, which weapons, lethal, non-lethal, tactics, timing or other to the MSM or us. No way...that is 0bama-esqe only.
Nor could I. But this is different. It’s no matter. I’m a supporter. But not a blind supporter. So we’ll just agree to disagree and sit on the same sideline.
800 wasn’t near enough
Neither is 5,000 - need at leas double the number of invaders or 30,000 troops plus armor and air.
Russia uses a lot of military police for this kind of work.

Russian MP equipped with TOSS-1As and other items of crowd suppression.
Or nicaragua or the Regan led Marines to Hondouras.
Only if you believe the MSM to begin with. Most likely, it never was "800 troops."
Fact is, nobody in MSM knows. Trump is not tipping his hand to the media on something important like this.
Sounds good to me :-) and I understand about not being a blind supporter. I don’t think he walks on water. But I do think he is Guided by God. I just think little faux Paws aren’t that big a deal. Now if he were to suggest some law that backs the Democrats side, we can have an agreement!
But I love what he is doing with the Border issue. Better than any president ever! Although I wish the wall would have been started already, but I blame are pathetic Congress for that. He will likely be able to use this event to get the wall going. Everything the Liberals have done has backfired, let’s hope this is the same.
And the new caravan at the Guat-Mex border is armed with guns and firebombs.

Wait until they see what the third ‘caravan’ is equipped with ...
Yep. I believe you are correct on that.
The Rats have escalated their bag of dirty tricks for their Oct. surprise. This tells me the insiders never really believed the Blue Wave story and they are acting in desperation. I also believe they are willing to start a civil war to stop a Red Wave.
Without “force of arms,” this will be worthless. Soldiers with clip boards are not going to deter 10,000 Socialists looking for freebies in the good old USA.
He does not know, but tangled does know that he hates it.
The post is about 5,000 troops to the border and tangles is a concern troll over an off hand comment that Trump made about the market.
We know that it used to irritate him when obummer did it.
Gee almost exactly what some of said was going to happen amid the meltdown whiners scream “you mean only 800?! They arent serious! This is just all theater!!!!!”
But I’ll bet this post is still likely filled with fresh complaints.
Cut all funding to Mexico until they enforce the border.
