Last night we reported that Mexican officials actually plan to intercept the caravan of migrants headed for the US border on Wednesday.
This morning Trump is still keeping the pressure on the country, even threatening them with NAFTA if they fail to stop them:
The big Caravan of People from Honduras, now coming across Mexico and heading to our “Weak Laws” Border, had better be stopped before it gets there. Cash cow NAFTA is in play, as is foreign aid to Honduras and the countries that allow this to happen. Congress MUST ACT NOW!

He also suggests that Honduras could lose some of their aid if they continue to allow migrants to head for the US border.
Trump is right that we need a secure border and that would solve many of our issues. But I really don’t like the fact that he’s holding NAFTA over Mexico’s head like this. Our free trade shouldn’t depend on whether or not Mexico stops a caravan of people headed here looking for asylum.
Trump also got back to his fake news rants:
The Fake News Networks, those that knowingly have a sick and biased AGENDA, are worried about the competition and quality of Sinclair Broadcast. The “Fakers” at CNN, NBC, ABC & CBS have done so much dishonest reporting that they should only be allowed to get awards for fiction!

Check out the fact that you can’t get a job at ratings challenged @CNN unless you state that you are totally anti-Trump? Little Jeff Zuker, whose job is in jeopardy, is not having much fun lately. They should clean up and strengthen CNN and get back to honest reporting!

And made sure to point out that he has a 50% approval rating in the latest Rasmussen poll:
Thank you to Rasmussen for the honest polling. Just hit 50%, which is higher than Cheatin’ Obama at the same time in his Administration.
