(CNN) - US President Donald Trump once again highlighted the loss of his Republican Party in the midterm elections and the Democratic Party’s control of Congress in the Senate and House of Representatives, linking this to what he described as an “invasion” of America given the Democrats’ opposition to his immigration policies.
This came in a post by Trump on his page on the Truth Social platform, on Thursday, where he said: “Here we are back to square one! In light of what is seen as a loss for the Republicans in the midterm elections - knowing that my name was not on the ballot papers - here is the ‘invasion’ of our country renewed...”
He continued: “Huge caravans form and begin their illegal march through Mexico. Many of the people in these caravans are individuals whose countries do not want them to stay - they say: ‘Send them to America’ - but they will not be allowed in!”
He added: “Mexico must stop them immediately, and if it does not, its tariffs will be doubled immediately. Mexico, the Governor of Texas (the new governor of Texas is very liberal), the US Border Patrol, and Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) have all been informed of this. There will be no leniency! Thank you for your attention to this matter. President Donald J. Trump.”
