      "If we got along with Russia, that would be a good thing not a bad thing," Trump says, per pool. "And just about everybody agrees with that, except very stupid people."

      Regarding Trump's military comments, it would appear likely that this would come from the National Guard — a move made by both of Trump's immediate predecessors. http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2010/05/25/AR2010052503227.html …pic.twitter.com/LxuzzlyxMJ

      Trump is asked to clarify the “military” comments, repeats the lie that we don’t have border laws, repeats the vague line that the “military” will “secure our borders.”

          The confusion here is that Trump just says “military,” talks about Mattis, and earlier said, “We really haven’t done that before” — suggesting a new step — but utilizing the National Guard would be something done repeatedly before.

          At a little past 8p, the White House provided a statement to the pool clarifying that Trump was, in fact, referring to the National Guard — a step take by George W. Bush and Obama — when he talked about having the military secure the border.pic.twitter.com/gbCM7ZiXsI

          Nielsen notes the National Guard usage is going to be handled "as it has been in the past" — contrasting with Trump's comments yesterday that his plans were something "we really haven't done ... before."

          AG Sessions' statement on "National Guard deployment" leads off with discussion of the "caravan" — despite DHS Sec. Nielsen just pushing back from the White House on claims the deployment was related to recent TV coverage of the caravan.pic.twitter.com/f7DjIX0Rfi

          Complains about “catch and release”. Says he will send the military. To do what? Catch and not release?
