See that's usually how it works:  If someone says there are 500 criminals they should have to say how they know that.  But Trump supporters dislike facts so they just assume what he said was true and "joke" sources like the San Diego Tribune   simply stated the fact that Trump pulled a number out his arse.

Could be 500, could be 2.

But your boy, the guy you defend at every turn has been saying there are "lots" of criminals in the caravan...for weeks leading up to the election.  Then, after he got you guys all hot and bothered he stopped talking about it because it didn't get him the votes he thought it would.

There are a lot of CRIMINALS in the Caravan. We will stop them. Catch and Detain! Judicial Activism, by people who know nothing about security and the safety of our citizens, is putting our country in great danger. Not good!

So since they caught one "bad guy" the Trumpsters will crawl out of the holes to proclaim he was right all along...lol.

I'll paste this one to protect you.

You'll note that this article used a lot of research and actual number to say that it is possible there are 300 "criminals" in the caravan...but Trump said they knew their names and scared you with that 5% (if it holds similar to the last big caravan 4 years ago) so you'd vote Republican.

tl;dr (and I know you didn't) Trump made up a number...or he repeated an estimate that he heard because he can't be bothered with details and specifics...and you and the rest of his supporters bought it hook, line and sinker with no knowledge of where the number came from or if it was accurate.  That scared you folks into thinking we needed 5000 troops at the border to handle it.

Then the got one.

Whoohoo!

299 to go.

You stated he said they were all criminals; no matter how many links you share or words you type, you can do nothing to prove it was fake news on your part. You nor I know the total population of criminals in the caravan, but a recent arrest on our side of the border proves there is at least one.

We very easily could have had covert players inserted into the caravan provided our government with intel on the population. Maybe they just didn't share it with you or the twitter feed you linked. But it's easier just to say POTUS is lying because.....
