Trump Claims He Has Love For DACA Recipients After Ending The Program

Source: Talking Points Memo 4:43pm ET

President Donald Trump on Tuesday claimed he has “a great love” for undocumented immigrants brought to the United States as children, despite having just ended the program that granted them legal protection.

“I have a great heart for these folks we’re talking about, a great love for them,” Trump said during a photo opportunity with members of Congress and his administration, referring to those protected by the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) program, which he terminated on Tuesday.

He said “people think in terms of children” when they think of DACA recipients “but they’re really young adults.”

“I have a love for these people, and hopefully now Congress will be able to help them and do it properly,” Trump said. “Really we have no choice. We have to be able to do something, and I think it’s going to work out very well. And longterm it’s going to be the right solution.”

Does he really think anyone believes that nonsense? It was even worse with healthcare when he tried to convince people that the replacement for Obamacare would be cheaper, cover more services, and pick up more of the population.

On his desk for permanent protection and a path to citizenship? Because he doesn't give two tweets about brown people and dreamers. "Right solution" = final solution for the Nazi in chief

He continues to rip protections away from working class people and those barely making it, then gives this BS line of how much he loves them. Well since he is incapable of compassion or kindness we all know he is full of shit.
