🧐⁉️Actually, I was wondering the exact opposite thing before I saw this article.

⁉️Was this caravan funded by Russia? The GOP? Charles Koch? The Mercers? A combination of all of them?

⁉️Why is Trump so obsessed with this story?

💥The New York Times cites false claims from both Donald Trump and Rep. Matt Gaetz (FL-01).

👉Gaetz's video was shot in Guatemala, not Hondurus.

👉Not a lot of money exchanging hands.

💥According to this CNN article, there are 2,200 migrants remaining on the bridge connecting Guatemala and Mexico with 900 trying to cross into Mexico illegally.

💥Trump also seemed to be obsessed with the "European Migrant Crisis" which peaked during the summer of 2015.

💥He claimed that Europe had made a “big mistake” in giving sanctuary to refugees and migrants.

💥Trump claimed the refugees and migrants have “strongly and violently” changed European culture.

💥By December of 2017, The UN Refugee Agency counted 1 million asylum applications for Syrian refugees in the European Union.

💥After reaching an all-time high of 77% in February 2012 and July 2014, Chancellor Merkel's approval rating dropped to 54% in October of 2015 during the migrant crisis and then to 47% in August of 2016 after terror attacks.

▶️Trump is obsessed with ratings and approval numbers.

▶️But yet, I haven't heard him mention that his approval rating has dropped in EVERY state.

▶️He scored 12 of 100 in the Presidential Greatness Survey: dead last.
