CNN ^ | November 1, 2018 | Sarah Westwood, Kevin Liptak and Jeff Zeleny

He also suggested that the US troops he dispatched to the US-Mexico border could fire on someone in the migrant caravan if the person threw rocks or stones at them.

In a meandering speech at the White House about immigration, Trump recycled many of the talking points he touts on the campaign trail -- but offered little in the way of concrete ways to address the problems he embellished.

“but offered little in the way of concrete ways to address the problems he embellished.”

Throw a rock, get a bullet. Pretty darn clear.

Also on Fox.

President pushes tough limits for asylum seekers, issues warning to violent migrants in caravan:

The president also issued something of a warning to members of the caravan, including those who reportedly threw rocks at members of the Mexican police this week.

“We will consider that a firearm,” Trump said. “We will consider that the maximum we can consider that, because they’re throwing rocks viciously and violently. .... We’re not going to put up with that. They want to throw rocks at our military, our military fights back. I told them to consider it a rifle. When they throw rocks, like they did at the Mexico military and police, I said, consider it a rifle.”

Asked by a reporter to clarify if U.S. troops might fire on the caravan, Trump responded, “I hope not, I hope not — but it’s the military.”

“They want to throw rocks at our military, our military fights back.”

— President Trump

At CNN the above is called “news”.

Good.

Anyone physically attacking border patrol deserves a return of force.

“In a meandering speech” Did they ever say this once about Obozo?

And when Hillary did in fact meander and recycle talking points and offer little in the way of concrete ways to address the problems she embellished, CNN would likely call it insight and vision and overall statesmanship.

Another day, another case of the vapors.

Seems like a body would get 'outrage fatigue', being constantly wound up all the time.
