What?

I thought he was only sending 800 troops to the border, now it is going to be 5000? That is almost half of what there is in Syria! I am completely confused!

Wait for all the troop photos protecting the USA this weekend before the midterm elections. riversedge Oct 2018 #1

If it is like any other numbers he spouts, tomorrow it will be 10,000. Yonnie3 Oct 2018 #2

Why send 800 when 5000 will do? I guess the base needs to be stoked even further for these midterms. alwaysinasnit Oct 2018 #3

Yep...he's now certifiable. Wonder if the Generals will say or do anything? libdem4life Oct 2018 #4

By election day the entire adult population of the US might not be enough to meet his latest number.

He'll lose support...no doubt about it. That's why he's insane. He won't listen to anyone and just takes his fake Emperor's Hat and waves it ahead of the charge

800, 5,000, what's the difference? Doesn't cost anything, and if it does, you weren't really all that attached to Social Security and Medicare, were you? Besides, think of the honor of starving in the streets or dying of a preventable malady for the greater glory of the Trump administration.
