The AP broke an apparently leaked draft memo saying Trump was going to order 100,000 National Guardsmen to help round up undocumented immigrants. The White House immediately denied that it was real.
I think the memo was a proposal, not intended for implementation. At the very least its release has torpedoed that from being done in the future as they've denied crafting the plan at all.

I think one post I read might have had the right concept -- it changes the subject away from Russia.

Again, "leaked" is not the right word to use so close in a sentence to "Trump".

Re: Fake news or not?
The memo may be real. The spin is #FAKE NEWS.
Did you ever see the old movie War Games? Apparently, government bureaucracies come up with countermeasures for every possible situation they can dream up. I have heard that this is one of those. Do I know for sure? No. But neither do you. But it seems to be a much more rational explanation than yours.
Do you really think that anyone would stand by and let something like this actually happen? Of course you do. And you think people like me are just clamoring for it to happen. Let me put it in terms you might more readily understand: F&*K You.
