Twitter Erupts Over Donald Trump’s Latest Fearmongering: ‘The Boy Who Cried Caravan’
Twitter users chided Trump after he cited a segment from Fox News’ morning show “Fox & Friends.”
By Lee Moran
President Donald Trump was dubbed “the boy who cried caravan” on Twitter Wednesday morning as he once again tried to whip up fear over migrants to push for funding for his proposed wall on the U.S.-Mexico border.
Trump, citing a segment on Fox News’ morning show “Fox & Friends,” warned that three separate caravans are now “marching” to America’s southern border. “The numbers are tremendous,” he added.
Trump has repeatedly bashed the groups of migrants from Central America who travel toward the U.S. He also turned it into a talking point ahead of the 2018 midterm elections.

(Or rather, how Trump wants his followers to imagine the situation at the border.)
