Bizarre new tweet from Trump, 5 minutes ago:

Editing to add a tweet from Aaron Rupar, who "solved" this.
Trump is misquoting something Hannity said during today's interview:

I'd say this is like Tim misquoting Wilson in "Home Improvement"...except:
Tim was funny, and Trump isn't.
Wilson was smart, and Hannity isn't.
And, most of all, this moron is in the White House and a danger to the entire world.

(115,669 posts)Does that mean 300 Americans a week are lost through the southern border; that is, they're escaping from the U.S.? Or is he just randomly pulling fake statistics out of his ass? (Yes. He is.)

(11,862 posts)Are they really lost? 300 per day cause we don't have a wall on the boarder? Does it conflate?

(7,725 posts)He had all day w a bunch of border yahoos w their horror stories.
Imagine a few...'They took perfectly healthy Americans, and harvested their organs'.....
'They' come here....they take our women, and they are sex slaves forever'......
Maybe this all has to do with when he grabbed a pack of whatever was on that show-crate...told Jared to "drop back for a pass" and Jared ran in the plane and don threw him a Key of yayo...and they flew home w it. Now, he's cracking it open. Stay tuned tomorrow for a LOT of sniffles and a 4 O clock pm wake-up.

Of course, what he actually said is quite different (and makes no sense), but that is what he was trying to say.

(45,050 posts)they just lost because someone hid the road signs? Interesting. Maybe we need an infrastructure plan to replace signs so they know where they are. Or if god forbid they were killed by an assault rifle some common sense gun control would cut that number way down!

(290 posts)Um. I am pretty sure you could package drugs to easily fit between the slats and hand them off to somebody on the other side. Pretty sure you could get a drone to carry them over to the other side of a concrete wall. Eliminating the need to have a person carry them over might actually make it easier.
