Claiming children and mothers are criminals is nothing new for Trump. And he acts out his mean xenophobic fantasies, putting kids in cages. The “caravan” of “criminals” is made up of suffering families. Trump is a liar– worse a cowardly bully. Republicans enable his cruelty.
One cannot help but think Trump is trying to distract from his feeble response to Saudi Arabia’s murder and dismemberment of Post columnist Jamal Khashoggi by picking on helpless women and children in a made-up “hardened criminal caravan.” What a corrupt bully.
If only the Honduran mothers and babies had bought billions of dollars of apartments from the organized-crime Trump organization to launder their money, Trump would be welcoming their “caravan” at the border like he welcomes the Russians and Saudis.
This election is not about politics—it is about morality. STOP THIS EVIL MAN!

I couldn’t agree with you more…I’ll be voting straight Democrat too.
What a shame that millions of Americans (especially millennials) have been convinced not the VOTE as the hard earned right to vote is now in jeopardy. Republicans in various states especially in the South are spending millions of dollars to hinder minority voters despite the blood, sweat, and tears of many civil rights movements to ensure minority voters’ right to vote. Yet the same non-voters will complain and protest about bad public policies but will do little to change the situation. I made sure my elderly relatives filled out their absentee ballot. If my Black great ancestors were alive to see the apathy of 2018 voters they would not understand how easily a generation who had more civil rights than they could even imagine could give up so easily. My great grandparents would be appalled by their non-voting great grands. Vote for the common good. Cheers.
