I think IQ45 could end the 'Border Crisis' with a few words ... but he doesn't want to ...

Here's what he just needs to say:

"I have no intention nor desire to change the official policy of the United States towards Refugees from other Nations. Refugees will remain welcome as long as I am President".

Think about it ... people are showing up large numbers recently ... despite by far the most openly hostile-towards-immigrants POTUS in any of our lifetimes.

WHY?

I thoroughly believe that this happening because they're trying to beat the clock. They believe Trump/GOP will succeed in changing the official policy, and they're trying to make it here first, to dip their toe across our border ... before that action can be made meaningless, legally. And they've no reason to believe Trump won't eventually succeed in changing those laws, and possibly quite soon.

So they're showing up droves right now. At least that's the only explanation for this 'timing' that makes sense to me.

But if he just chilled his freaking rhetoric and said 'I promise the laws aren't going to change' ... it would go a LONG WAY towards mitigating the issue.

But he doesn't want to. He WANTS a crisis. Plus his base would be wildly disappointed.

So he won't.

He likes situations to be chaotic--it suits some part of his tiny brain.

to burnish those strongman credentials.

So far he has only managed to look just like what he is - a doddering old fool who is totally out of touch with the world and the country.

He will NEVER do anything for the greater good of people; only himself.

They weren't being murdered by gangs and their own government, there were jobs so they're not starving and inflation wasn't so high that you can't afford even a loaf of bread. There should have been humanitarian help there long ago.
