It is detestable to use crime victims and exploit grief for political gain. He is using them to attack the news media and democrats.
This is gross. What is the purpose of this? I am sorry for the loss these families have suffered, but to attack immigrants for this is just wrong.

And if they are willing participants then I have no sympathy for them...because they are using the loss of a loved one to further the cause of racism and bigotry!!!
In other words they can all get f**ked!!!

The family members deserve our sympathy and respect for their losses, but they are being used. I exempt from "respect" the guy who said he just wished the media had the "integrity" of our president and vice-president. I don't know what the fuck he was talking about.
Trump's opinion: Well they made us feel bad about those sobbing toddlers; see how they like hearing about the horrific rapes and murders *these* families' loved ones underwent. It's a whose pain is worse contest, when there is no comparison between the events: both are horrible. You can be shocked and upset by both of them.
Trump says the way to prevent these crimes is to be tough on immigration. The way he wants to be tough on immigration is to take young children away from their families.
How many of the criminals involved in these stories came into the US with small children in tow? How many were single mothers seeking asylum from abuse? How many were fathers trying to keep their children safe from gang-related murders in their own countries?
