President Donald Trump claimed credit for the sidelining of the large migrant caravan that he had complained about on Twitter.
"I have just heard that the caravan coming up from Honduras is broken up and Mexico did that and they did it because frankly, I said you really have to do it," Trump said Tuesday at the White House.
Struggling in part with the enormous logistical hurdle of trying to get more than 1,000 people across hundreds of miles, organizers told the Associated Press that they'd never really intended to reach the U.S. border in the first place. The group is stalled in the Oaxaca region, according to the AP.
Mexican authorities said in a statement late Monday that they were offering protections to some of the refugees and deporting others. By late Monday, the government said they had deported 400 already.
The president had tweeted Tuesday morning that the caravan "had better be stopped" before reaching the U.S. By lunchtime, he was claiming victory.

So? Trump claimed credit for the Obama economy also.
