Your President Is a Stunt Queen Who Manufactures Drama

Donald Trump is a stunt queen who manufactures drama. What else could we expect from a reality-TV star who created an entire show on which he fired “employee” after “employee” until there was only one standing? Sound familiar?
The latest stunt of separating children from parents at the U.S. border was calculated, disgusting and inhumane. It blew up in his face in a way he could not have imagined, so he found a way to come out looking “heroic” to his base.
Your president is not a hero.
The entire act of signing an executive order to stop family separations at the border was just that—an “act.”
The separations got ramped up at the border because arrests got ramped up at the border. Remember the new “zero tolerance” policy?
U.S. Attorney General Jeff Sessions basically issued a memo to his staff April 6, telling them to increase criminal prosecutions of people found to be crossing over into the United States without proper documentation.
That resulted in an increase in the number of arrests at the border, and for those adults who had children in tow, their children were taken into “protective” custody.
This wasn’t a law. It was a memo from the U.S. attorney general. Just as easily as Sessions issued the command to increase the arrests, he could have issued the command to stop them.
Your president and his administration basically took children hostage and used them as bargaining chips for whatever legislation they were trying to slip by us. They didn’t expect the issue to blow up in their faces like this, and they didn’t have the PR stamina to spin away the optics that are already out there.
So, here comes your president and his big giant pen. He made the grand gesture of signing an executive order, saying that families should not be separated. He acts like he is doing something heroic, and he hasn’t done a bitch-ass thing.
He manufactured what turned into a human rights disaster, and he comes in to “fix” it in a truly dramatic fashion.
It makes for great headlines, great tweets and great TV.
Meanwhile, what about the damage that has already been done to the children who were already taken from their families? What is he doing to remedy that? And what about reuniting children with their parents? Is that even being addressed?
The “zero tolerance” policy is still in place. The executive order reads that “alien families” will be detained “together where appropriate and consistent with law and available resources.” It’s just vague enough to leave wiggle room.
The problem is not solved. Trump hasn’t fixed anything.
All he has done is found a new way to prop himself up to look like the hero in this particular episode of the reality-TV show in which most of us are unwillingly participating.
Your president is a stunt queen who manufactures drama so he can look like a hero when he “fixes” it.
Munchausen syndrome by proxy. It’s what’s for dinner, America.
BOOM!

The Damage Is Done
Donald Trump wants credit for ending a crisis he created.
https://slate.com/news-and-politics/2018/06/donald-trump-wants-credit-
for-ending-a-family-separation-crisis-he-created.html
"You don’t have to look too closely to see the outline of a clear—and cynical—political gambit. President Trump signs an executive order ending child separation, but to carry it out, officials violate a federal court order. That requires a judge to step in and admonish the administration, after which Trump pulls back, resuming family separation with the help of an easy scapegoat.
Either way, the situation for migrant parents and children looks bleak. Yes, they’ll be kept together, but in conditions that weren’t designed for mass detention of families. And the haphazard nature of the policy only raises the real possibility of abuse and neglect, seen already in the facilities used for child detention. There’s a reason critics have called these concentration camps; in both form and function—isolated tent cities and steel-wire enclosures that hold people targeted for their racial and cultural identities—they resemble the reconcentración zones of Spain’s Cuban occupation or the internment camps reserved for Japanese Americans during the Second World War.
With this executive order, the policy of separating families appears to cease. But child internment will continue, with families together as prisoners in federal custody. Young children will still be locked in “tender age” camps; asylum-seekers will still be criminalized as dangers and threats to national integrity. And there’s still the matter of those children already separated from their parents. According to former Immigration and Customs Enforcement head John Sandweg, there’s a real chance of permanent separation. “You could easily end up in a situation where the gap between a parent’s deportation and a child’s deportation is years,” said Sandweg to NBC News.
Of the thousands of children taken and detained by the Trump administration, some may never see their parents again. However this ends, irreparable damage has already been done."
BOOM!
The lies of reichwing trolls again fade away. I wonder what they'll think of next?

As long as you insist that everything is the Republicans'/ Democrats' fault, then you fail to grasp the REAL problem with American politics.

Anecdotal evidence is no evidence at all. Especially coming from you.

If you set up internment camps for babies and then everyone notices so you sign an order ending internment camps for babies it doesn't mean you didn't set up internment camps for babies.
