When Trump was given the presidency one of the first things out of his mouth was to tell people not to believe what they see, read or hear.
How convenient can you get? Many have believed Trump and done just that. Now, because some want to believe so badly in Trump, He has made them deaf, dumb and blind to the real truth that comes out about him almost every day.
All the lies he tells. The blatant corruption of him and his family and cohorts is out there in the public for everyone to see. It's time for people to come out of there rabbit hole and into the light and see what's real. Pull the shades off there eyes and really look. We have a lier and a crook in the high office. A crook that actually tries to talk others in his circle into doing illegal things. If this was a Democrat being this blatant and crooked he/she would already be thrown out of office. Because of Trump, we as a country are more separate that we have ever been.
Donald Trump just said something truly terrifying
"At a speech in Kansas City to the VFW annual convention on Tuesday, President Donald Trump -- amid one of his trademark anti-media rants -- said this (emphasis mine):
"Stick with us. Don't believe the crap you see from these people, the fake news. ... What you're seeing and what you're reading is not what's happening".

Now, with just a little research and common sense, we know he's lying about this border thing. How come video has never popped up? You would think that if the border was really getting overrun, the Republicans would ride that high. There would be a video. But there isn't. Just the occasional still photo that shows really nothing going on. Quiet and mostly desolate. America is being lied too. And some are swallowing the lies hook, line and sinker. Some would rather believe far out conspiracy theories than believe the truth that's right under their nose. And nobody ever asks what happened to that caravan that was headed to the border during the midterms. After the midterms, that story and the caravan went away. Because it was also a Trump lie.
Are border crossings at “historically low levels,” as Rep. David Price says?
"President Donald Trump’s declaration of a national emergency over the U.S. border with Mexico has sent congressional Democrats scrambling to poke holes in his case for building a wall.
"Not only is there no national emergency at the border: crossings remain at historically low levels," said Rep. David Price, D-N.C., in a Feb. 14 tweet".

9 facts you should know about the border before Trump addresses the nation
"►Illegal border crossings are down. Significantly.
In 2000, 1.6 million people were apprehended trying to cross the southern border into the United States. In 2001, 1.3 million were apprehended. In 2018? Less than 400,000. That’s not just a decline. It’s a significant decline.
A lot of the decline was because of the recession, which dried up jobs migrants were seeking to fill. But if we’re being fair, apprehension numbers reached a low of about 310,000 in 2017 in part because of increased border enforcement and fear of Trump and his anti-immigrant policies".

I guess that <400k was only the field apprehensions. How about you find the rest of the numbers such as inadmissible and asylum seekers!!
2019 totals through March: 361,087 apprehensions. I guess they will stop for the year soon or the numbers will significantly increase by the end of the year. Keep trying to sell your story!
