Trump's demonisation of the migrant caravan is nothing more than a cynical ploy for votes- But it's working
"a surprise" / Trump actions
Humanity/ peace and stability for election compaigns
infamous pledge: useless wall
trump was encouraging the caravan
american troops: don't get in to the usa
Trump : lending it some credibility
making its way steadily up LA towards the USA
Trump's other woes:
trade war with China
created his own "fake news"
collusion with Russia
Usa are more important issues than refugees.
incendiary language
Divisive
Higher up the news agendas
abolishing "birthright" citizenship
USA constitution :" all persons born on naturalized in the United States, and subject to the jurisdiction thereof, are citizen of the United States"
Trump doesn't care
"dead cat" political tactics
Tweets
Don't care of the migrants
Some marginal short-run voter advantage
high-profil clash: lead to loss of life/ diplomatic incident
nonexistent threat: the episode will not end well.
