If this doesn't terrify you regarding the direction #DonaldTrump is taking this once great nation, you aren't paying attention. And to do this on a national holiday when far too few of us are paying attention to the news is cowardly.
Mattis’ assurances did little to quell criticism from advocacy groups worried about Trump’s increasingly dangerous actions and rhetoric as thousands of migrants — mostly from Central America — line up in Tijuana, Mexico, and elsewhere to try to enter the country to request asylum. The president had previously suggested that troops would be allowed to fire upon migrants if any of them threw rocks at the U.S. troops, but neither the Pentagon nor the Department of Homeland Security backed up that assertion.
The question is, will US troops open fire on unarmed civilians? I'm sure some will as #TrumpNation has it's hooks in the armed forces, but I'm hoping not won't. This is not making the USA great, it's making us terrible.
