Before Executive Order, Trump Reportedly Said Separating Families Was a Good Deterrent: ‘My People Love It’

by Josh Feldman | 3:24 pm, June 23rd, 2018

The New York Times has a behind-the-scenes look at the White House chatter prior to President Donald Trump signing an executive order to end family separation.

Publicly, Trump had said Congress (particularly the Democrats) should act on this, blaming them for the policy his administration put in place.

Privately, as the Times reports, Trump “repeatedly changed his mind” over what he actually wanted to do up until he eventually signed the order:

The president’s whiplash-inducing order caught several people by surprise. Just a day before Mr. Trump signed it, one person close to the president said that he told advisers that separating families at the border was the best deterrent to illegal immigration and that he said that “my people love it.”

The ones he wants to sit up straight and at attention, the way Kim's people do? Do you recall him saying that, complete with gestures made by his tiny hands?

We are not your people, 45. Most of us have souls, and some humanity, unlike you!

His "people" would line up to buy lampshades made from the skins of detained babies--after bleaching, of course.

They probably defend the stealing of children of Native peoples and giving them to white families.

They probably defend torture.

They probably defend slavery.

Of course his people would love it.
