Armed troops at the border
Is this just a bluff? They claim they can't be used for law enforcement but haven't they been deployed during riots?
shareNo point in deploying them during riots. Even the cops are not allowed to stop the riots.

T-rump originally wanted to send them to California to "rake the forests" but they wisely refused. So he sent them to the border instead.
shareNot a bluff but a political ploy, which Trump used to influence the midterms by ratcheting up fear about the "caravan" approaching the border. In deploying them, Trump conveniently ignored The Posse Comitatus Act which forbids using federal troops for law enforcement. But anything he does is okay. Just ask him.
shareAnd FOX NEWS and their viewers could not see that this was a mid-term political ploy - they screeched about it every night, and still do. It's a diversion of what really matters most.
shareOf course it was just a stunt, now that the midterms are over, the troops are being withdrawn even though the caravans are just starting to arrive.
Your "president" spent hundreds of millions and wasted military resources on a needless political stunt to create fear and get people to vote Republican.
I guess this is part of making America great? Who knows.
