Trump Makes Baseless Claim Central American Countries Formed Caravan to Dump ‘Certain People’ in United States
President Donald Trump claimed on Sunday that the migrant caravan is formed by Central American countries as a means of expelling “certain people” and “dumping” them in the United States.
Trump made the unfounded claim in a flurry of tweets blasted out from his resort in Mar-a-Lago on Sunday, where he is spending the Thanksgiving break.
“Would be very SMART if Mexico would stop the Caravans long before they get to our Southern Border, or if originating countries would not let them form (it is a way they get certain people out of their country and dump in U.S. No longer),” Trump wrote. “Dems created this problem. No crossings!”

He also bemoaned protestors in France for not taking “into account how badly the United States has been treated on Trade by the European Union”:
The large and violent French protests don’t take into account how badly the United States has been treated on Trade by the European Union or on fair and reasonable payments for our GREAT military protection. Both of these topics must be remedied soon.

Touted a pro-Trump book from a Hoover Institute Fellow who appeared on Fox News:
Victor Davis Hanson was a very good and interesting guest of Mark Levin on @FoxNews. He wrote a highly touted book called “The Second World Wars” and a new book will soon be coming out called “The Case For Trump.” Recommend both. @marklevinshow

And gave himself a pat on the back for low oil prices:
So great that oil prices are falling (thank you President T). Add that, which is like a big Tax Cut, to our other good Economic news. Inflation down (are you listening Fed)!
