Trump knocks New York Times for report on border facility

Source: The Hill


BY ZACK BUDRYK - 07/14/19 10:36 AM EDT

President Trump on Sunday morning attacked the New York Times for reports on unsafe and squalid conditions in migrant detention centers at the U.S. border with Mexico.




Quoting Trump’s tweet, the Washington Post’s Josh Dawsey, who accompanied Pence and the senators to the facility, noted the men Trump referred to, kept in a chain-linked holding area, were forced to sleep on concrete and told him they had not showered in days and did not always have access to toothbrushes.




Trump has repeatedly defended conditions at border detention facilities, despite the Times' and others' stories, as well as a report by the Department of Homeland Security’s Office of Inspector General, which warned of “dangerous overcrowding.” Many of his allies have acknowledged poor conditions and blamed congressional Democrats.

to HIS administration. Gathering of criminals. Is there ANYONE in his administration who can pass a background check? Most have sexual harassment claims against them, or spending campaign funds illegally. Where is Ghoulianni these days?

Trump lies so much that he is a fool
Perhaps he needs to be in a swimming pool
And get real wet and clean out his brain,
To make sure that he doesn't go insane.

Not one of my best, but today I am tired...(not a good excuse)



Need to come up with new material, and I need to get some sleep.



............Or...maybe just take a break.....

Yes, I am boring!
