The Lower Depths

keep getting lower. We all know that Donald Trump, who styles himself "president", is a miserable excuse for a human being, but this is beyond the pale.

President Donald Trump on Saturday attempted to blame Democrats for the two deaths of immigrant children being held by his Border Patrol and Customs enforcement officers.

“Any deaths of children or others at the Border are strictly the fault of the Democrats and their pathetic immigration policies that allow people to make the long trek thinking they can enter our country illegally,” Trump claimed.

“They can’t,” he argued. “If we had a Wall, they wouldn’t even try!”

“The two children in question were very sick before they were given over to Border Patrol,” Trump continued.

“The father of the young girl said it was not their fault, he hadn’t given her water in days. Border Patrol needs the Wall and it will all end,” he claimed. “They are working so hard & getting so little credit!”

He's lying about the little girl -- her father said she had been fed and given water.

He's either feeling the heat or figures this is a good excuse to plug the wall (a/k/a a "beaded curtain") again. And of course, he's blaming Democrats for the policies of his administration. Because nothing's ever his fault.

And there's this:

Videos from a Southwest Key shelter for migrant children show staffers dragging and pushing children, incidents that occurred shortly before the federal government suspended the shelter's operations early this fall.

These are children that were separated from their parents by Trump's Department of Homeland Security.
