Trump is desperate to whip up fear and thereby steer attention away from his many faults. In his order to send 15,000 active duty soldiers to the southern border he is using the US military as a pawn in his political game. The Pentagon is not happy about it. Hence the leaked documents on the military assessment of the caravan: a non-issue. I think (hope) it will backfire on him.
This shit is why it feels like we're all being physically and emotionally assaulted every damn day.
That is such a good description of what is going on!
