Trump warnings about migrant caravan fall off after election
WASHINGTON — Did someone say caravan?
One week after Election Day, President Donald Trump’s daily drumbeat of warnings about a caravan of “bad thugs” and potential terrorists intent on invading the U.S. from Mexico has largely fallen silent.
The migrant caravans are still trudging along, the largest still about 1,000 miles from the southern border, but Trump — and many in the conservative media — have dramatically reduced the frequency and intensity of their dire warnings now that they no longer feel the same urgency to stir up GOP voters.
Trump and his media allies have largely moved on. They’re more focused now on the possibility of electoral chicanery in recounts in Florida’s Senate and governor’s races.
