Trump now backtracking on the separation, looking for a way out......

Link to tweet

Trump told members that his daughter Ivanka encouraged him to end family separation and that he recognizes that it needs to end and the images are painful, per Rep. Curbelo.

Link to tweet

Trump tells House Republicans now that Ivanka talked to him about family separation at the border and that the images are not good.

How incredibly feckless to worry about the images.
It’s not about optics’
It’s about chilldren.
It’s about human suffering.
..........................
What a total and utter piece of shit.

The only things he is interested in are things that work to his advantage - the rest of the world be damned.
