Gallup now has him at 45% approve/ 50% disapprove. Those are his best numbers since January '17. Apparently, people LIKE this shit.

5. Maybe when they heard the cries of the innocent children caught up in this

debacle, they won’t like the policy so much. Or tRump. This was HIS idea, HIS plan. Let him own it and all the idiots around him who helped pull it off.

I hope this is the thing that brings him down. And a little child will lead them.

We’ve seen far too much happen that should have ended his presidency. But he withstood the scandal and seemingly thrived. But the pitiful cries of that sad, little child wailing for his papi was too much. Many people capable of hardening their hearts will hear those cries and hopefully be ashamed and heart broken for that innocent child. If they have a heart and even a shrunken soul, I am hoping that happens and very soon.

It would be astonishingly beautiful if this is the thing that helps open their eyes to the monster they unleashed upon us. His awful plan to use these mothers, fathers and children to leverage a border wall may be the catalyst that brings it all down. Please let it be so.

7. I sincerely hope you're right. I'm Jewish but LOVE the "And a little child will lead them" phrase.

One of the most beautiful parts of the Jesus story as I know it is the prominence of children.

9. Trump, Sessions and Miller. Probably Pence and Hannity, too.

Sounds like it must have been a mini Wannsee Conference, and the participants were just as clueless as to how inhuman their plans really were. Like the Wannsee Conference participants, they narrowly saw only an effort to arrive at a specific goal efficiently, and never gave a second thought to just how monstrous that goal was .

Trump is never happier than when he's horrifying people, particularly Democrats.

He gotten out of every jam in his life without a scar and expects to continue to do so.
He's been above the law his whole life so now that he's president, why would that change?

No I don't think he sees this as a problem at all.
Destroying families and traumatizing children is a huge, delightful plus in his book
