The president today thread into a surprisal White House pressure briefing already attended by border security suits to restate that he is , among other things , an expert on drone technology .
“ You see what ’s just been put out on social culture medium , ” Trump stated , mention to some unspecified post that may or may not survive , “ where thousands of people are speed the border . Having a drone flee overhead … and I think nobody knows much more about technology — this type of technology , certainly — than I do . ”
It ’s undecipherable whose drone , which citizenry , what the drone was intend to do , or if those people were able to bilk any borders . All we can say for sure is that should this radio-controlled aircraft ’s operation need explain to a alumna - degree robotics category , Trump is the homo for the caper . We lie with it ’s straight becauseyesterday , during the first 2019 cabinet meeting , he said , “ I know more about drones than anybody . ”
Of course , the timing of the pressure briefing — directly following the swearing - in of the new House Democrats , in the midst of a governance shutdown largely over Trump ’s latest margin wall fit — is not coincidental . And yet even in trying to plug bequeath , he do to set ashore a wild blow to his own allies .
“ have lagger and various other forms of sensors , they ’re all fine , but they ’re not gon na stop the problems that this country has , ” Trump claimed , stating the want for a literal , strong-arm wall - like complex body part — something even the Koch - fund Cato Institutedecriedas farcical . A border patrol by , uh , “ sensors ” and other gizmos is , coincidently , the exact despicablegambledisgraced Oculus founder Palmer Luckey is making with Trump booster Peter Thiel ’s money . Whoops !
Trump , Sanders , and the rest of the briefing ’s ghouls leave without taking questions .
