Trump loses out to basic human decency
We have just witnessed the president eat crow though he will never admit it.
He had railed against the “Democratic law” that he claimed forced the separation of children from their parents at the Mexican border for those who are seeking asylum here.
Lo and behold, as a political calamity was brewing for the Republicans and their election chances in the approaching mid-terms, he discovers that he can end the separations on his own initiative, through an Executive Order as he asserts that he hated to see families being broken apart.
Is there any concern among diehard Trump supporters that he lied once again, trying to pin the separations on his ideological foes?聽 It is unlikely.
The president cruelly sought to use the children as bargaining chips to enable him to enact the most stringent possible crackdown on immigration.聽聽
The man whose life revolves around winning has lost this battle.聽 The American people and basic human decency have triumphed.
