President Donald Trump said that the increased military presence on the border is going to help stop what he called the “invasion” that is coming in the migrant caravan and said that he “always likes to be truthful.”

“We have to have a wall of people,” Trump said, shortly after it was announced that he plans to send 10,000 to 15,000 troops to the border…

“Well, I try. I do try … and I always want to tell the truth. When I can, I tell the truth. And sometimes it turns out to be where something happens that’s different or there’s a change, but I always like to be truthful,” Trump said…

“You have caravans coming up that look a lot larger than it’s reported actually. I’m pretty good at estimating crowd size. And I’ll tell you they look a lot bigger than people would think,” Trump said.
