Donald Trump is getting an unearned boost for his own political agenda based on a recent terror attack, according to a report.

Shamsud-Din Jabbar was an American citizen and a U.S. Army veteran who rented a pick-up and rammed it into a group of people in New Orleans, killing more than a dozen of them.

Trump seized on an early false report, which was later retracted, that suggested Jabbar might have been an illegal immigrant. The president-elect made multiple posts about border security in the wake of the terrorist act, and never clarified those comments.

Now, Republicans are trying "to exploit New Orleans attack to push through Trump agenda," according to The Guardian, which added that Trump loyalists are making a "baseless link between attack and US border" in order to argue that "cabinet nominees must be urgently ratified."
