I might be wrong but I don't think Trump would let the young men or their coach who ...

.... are trapped in Thailand into the United States because they are "colored." Trump's
"Bund Rally" in Montana last week has me shaken and worried.

I don't think IQ45 likes coaches who get their teams trapped in caves - you know, kinda' like soldiers who get captured.

God willing, all those children and their coach come out of this ordeal alright. Following which, I wouldn't be surprised to see trump flying them all in for a Disney World weekend, accommodations at Mar-A-Lago. An attempt to take attention from the atrocious immigration situation.

Moreover, the majority of Thai Muslims live in the southern provinces or in/ around Bangkok, as opposed the the north, where this incident occurred.

He said not one fucking word until the first four were rescued. Don the Con has no empathy - he has no words of comfort for Americans in distress after natural disasters. He kidnaps kids and separates them from their parents while scattering them across the country.
He does try hard to associate himself with 'winners'.

work at his dump in Florida, or his shithole in New , or one of his other skeezy properties, for a buck and a half an hour. It's not like he hasn't been using cheap imported labor all along....

the US is helping in the rescue of the Thailand boys. Why? I assume none of them are from Montana, Idaho or Texas; "They're not our kids" as the FOX News host Brian Kilmeade said. I wonder how Trump found enough money to send our best responders to Thailand but not enough to rescue the children on our border torn from their family's arms by his policies.
