President Donald Trump wants to bring American troops home from Syria and Afghanistan. But Trump doesn’t want to look weak. To keep up his tough-guy act and satisfy his base, he wants to deploy troops on our southern border, where he claims they’ll stop terrorists, deter illegal immigrants, and help build a wall. Trump thinks he can shift American militarism from the Muslim world to Mexico without paying a political price. But a fellow Republican, Sen. Lindsey Graham of South Carolina, is trying to wreck Trump’s plan. Graham, who supports the border wall, is using that issue to pummel the president for pulling out of Syria and Afghanistan.
