Promoting Evil Froom the White House

PRESIDENT TRUMP'S guest list at the white House yesterday consisted exclusively of white, conservative, upper middle class republicans who, or whose family members, have been victimized by crimes committed by brown young men who come from another country illegally and speak another language. He had to dip deep to find the folks; the facts are, quite simply, that illegal aliens, of which there are roughly eleven million in American, commit far fewer crimes per capita, or any other way, than you good, home grown white American conservative republicans. As Casey Stengal used to say: "you could look it up.". Trump, ever the media and promotion genius, who simultaneously hates the news media while taking as much personal advantage of it as possible, desperately wants us the American people to buy into his notion that the people coming to America illegally are the worst of the worst, not the best people, not people like Trump, but the worst people, criminals. Actually, it is the ambitious, hard working, good people coming here, but to acknowledge that would be too much stress for the right wing. When Trump signed the executive order formally abolishing the kidnapping of refugee children, he looked absolutely despondent, as if poison were being shoved down his throat, which, in effect, it was. What's with the victim party? To convince the American people that seizing the children of illegal entrants was good policy after all, that the entire nation should have whole heartedly, not just the avid right wing Trump supporters, and that we ought to return to it immediately, because those children might all grow up to be murderers? Does Trump and his gang of thuggish supporters, numbering, unfortunately, in the millions, want us all to embrace zero tolerance of illegal aliens, and destroy their families and lick them all up indefinitely? Two thirds of the American believe that taking children from their parents is inhumane and barbaric, which is about the same number who wish Trump and his fellow gangsters would simply...go away...
