Trump compares deportation plan to ‘military operation.’ Fake news fakes outrage. (VIDEO)
During a “listening session” today with some of America’s top manufacturers, President Donald Trump characterized his plans to deport illegal aliens as a “military operation.”
The comment obviously describes its planned efficiency. Reports Trump would deploy the National Guard to capture and deport illegals were shown to be another case of mainstream media “fake news.”
White House spokesman Sean Spicer, heading off more fake news, points out Trump was referring to its “high degree of precision.”
Specifically, Trump stated:
Right now, Rex, who, as you know, he’s in Mexico — I said, that’s going to be a tough trip, because we have to be treated fairly by Mexico. That’s going to be a tough trip. But he’s over there with General Kelly, who’s been unbelievable at the border. You see what’s happening at the border. All of a sudden for the first time we’re getting gang members out, we’re getting drug lords out. We’re getting really bad dudes out of this country and at a rate that nobody has ever seen before. And they’re the bad ones.
And it’s a military operation because what has been allowed to come into our country — when you see gang violence that you’ve read about like never before and all of the things — much of that is people that are here illegally. And they’re rough and they’re tough, but they’re not tough like our people. So we’re getting them out.
The comments come after Homeland Security Secretary John Kelly issued two memos to DHS personnel, overturning years of Obama policies protecting illegals from deportation and preventing law enforcement from detaining or finding illegals. Nowhere in the memos is use of military force authorized or discussed.
But the media were not deterred.
Senior NBC producer Bradd Jaffy stoked the manufactured panic.
Trump just made Jeff Immelt describe the time Trump hit a hole-in-one

This is notable. Trump: “We're getting really bad dudes out of this country ... it's a military operation.”

Jaffy later tried to clean up his mess by noting Spicer’s comments. He did not delete the misleading tweet.
