Today in, “Donald Trump lies”:
Did anyone ask him to his face to name that “Democrat bill” that’s forcing the poor guy to tear children from their parents at the U.S./Mexico border and then lock them up like animals? Come on guys. Even if they had, he’d be unable to name it, because it’s as real as Trump University.
This is a Trump administration policy, and one that he’s desperate to disown in name only, because he could easily end what those evil Democrats are supposedly making him do since he’s the one who implemented the policy in the first place.
“If you don’t want your child separated,” Jefferson Beauregard Sessions III said in his speech officially announcing the policy last month, “then don’t bring them across the border illegally. It’s not our fault that somebody does that.” But families petitioning at U.S. ports of entry are following U.S. law, and it’s the Trump administration punishing them by tearing kids from parents.
“Egregious, shameless lying” is right. Donald Trump is wrong as fuck.
