Trump Rails Against Migrant Caravan in Twitter Tirade: 'A Disgrace to the Democrat Party'

Source: Mediate




by Amy Russo | Oct 21st, 2018, 4:16 pm

President Donald Trump launched a Twitter attack Sunday against a growing Central American migrant caravan hoping to enter the U.S., stating he plans to block it.




The Commander-in-Chief then followed-up on that post with a frustrated message calling the caravan “a disgrace to the Democrat Party,” adding, “Change the immigration laws NOW!”




The group of migrants, which has swelled to 5,000 according to the Associated Press, intends to reach the U.S., having overcome efforts by Mexican officials to thwart it.

In a bold assertion made yesterday, Trump told reporters “in many cases, these are hardened criminals.”

What an idiot...

He is (allegedly) president of the United States, clothed in immense power - he can order the US-Mexican border closed in an emergency, just as Bush the Younger ordered all civil air traffic grounded after Sept. 11.

He just has to be a) willing to make that decision; b) pay for the resources necessary to do it; and c) take the responsibility for doing both.

He won't , of course, because he's a coward who has avoided personal responsibility for any difficult decision his entire life.

I've posted this a couple of times over the last few days.

Talk radio is hinting/supplanting that this caravan is "organized" and timed to arrive just before the mid-terms. Organized by who? That's for the listener to fill in their own blanks with the normal wild conspiracy theories.

Well, to be fair we all know that everything that happens in the world is super secretly orchestrated by one of America's political parties to further their agendas...

You have had several years to learn the opposition party is the Democratic Party. When you address us correctly we will reply. Until then fuck yourself with large unlubricated burning magnesium coated cactus, you shithead!

It is subliminally degrading. Too bad the Republican party doesn't have a catching ending to twist and poke fun at but even if it did we always take the high road and would never stoop to their level. Yep, too bad.

legislation.

Watching TV and videos of your campaign rallies, tweeting, and going to rallies has nothing to do with leading your party to try to pass laws.

Trump, you are such a whiny, ignorant baby.
