Supporting Trump, Strangely

THE MOST TROUBLING THING, among many troubling things, about Trump supporters is that throughout this entire government kidnapping refugee children brew ha ha, they apparently completely supported Trump's Hitleresque policy, and they found many and varied ways of justifying it, the most common being the one asserting that if the refugees don't want to have their children taken from them, they won't break the law and try to illegally enter the United States. They get weirder. Ann Coulter, long suspected of being just a tad nutty, claims that all those hours of video of children bawling their eyes out, allegedly because they wanted to be with their mothers, is bogus, and that the liberals, democrats, liberal mainstream media, and the devil himself hired child actors to play the parts. No, I'm serious. She really said that, on television, evidently, probably on one of those crazy right wing extremist FOX shows. Unless she's insane, she doesn't actually believe it. The very fact that Trump signed an executive order yesterday ending the horrible practice clearly demonstrates, unbeknownst to him in all probability, that his earlier claims about being unable do anything were a lie. But, of course, we already knew that. Now will Trump's most ardent supporters be angry with their leader for backing down? If only he had done so sooner, much sooner, then president could have spared a great deal of anguish for thousands of poor homeless people, or, he could have helped the left wing conspiracy a great deal of money in the cost of hiring actors and staging the entire hoax which resulted in Trump's executive order. The great mystery, and tragedy, is that a majority of conservative Americans, a majority of republicans supported taking immigrant children from their parents, claiming that doing so would discourage further law breaking. It did not. That line of reasoning is ridiculous, and those who make it must know that. it is indeed sad that a substantial part of the American people are so lacking in basic human compassion, and understanding of human nature.
