Trump: 'We do a much better job' with children at the border than Obama

President Trump on Saturday defended his administration for treating migrant children detained at the border "much better" than former President Obama's administration, amid controversy over immigration policies that have separated thousands of children from their parents.

Trump also referred to the conservative aggregation site The Drudge Report, which has previously linked to reports and photos taken of detainment facilities during the Obama administration.
The headline did not appear on The Drudge Report on Saturday morning.
Trump this week ended a controversial practice that separated migrant children and detained them separately from their parents when families were caught crossing the U.S.-Mexico border illegally. The detainment facilities were harshly criticized by some as "internment camps" and prisons.

(5,914 posts)They're used in predictive modeling, which everyone's got themselves into now.
I, myself, wondered how it seemed like I hate the guy more and more each day, with seemingly no end, no matter how outrageous his behavior. I then realized that the sigmoid function explains that perfectly.

(35,446 posts)I am working on my capstone project for my machine learning class, and I wanted to do predicting non-voters for presidential elections, but I couldn't find a dataset robust enough. Sure, I can find age, sex, and race, but I need more variables to make the model more meaningful like income, geography, education level, etc.

One thing about the US system that is a weakness is that there is no one leader to go to inbetween elections, to take over the discussion, and define the direction of the party. You have no sustained opportunity for the public to get to know them, and because of that the incumbent President always has the upper hand in being re-elected. (Better the enemy you know....)
But the silver lining in this case is that the GOP and Trump have no one individual to smear and bad-mouth for years running up to 2020. Whomever that is, won't be subject to their conspiracy theories and Russian bots til after that is decided. So he attacks previous leaders instead like Hillary and Obama, which may keep the base in a perpetual state of anger but at least its not directed at our future candidate.

(6,881 posts)One suspects that O and some Dems are aware of this. The absence of an individual counter adversary is one of the reasons that T is flailing around trying to blame everyone else in sight. Even his own soldiers. But there's no one really there. He's in a war with no one to shot at but himself.

(4,483 posts)to which my response always is "So?" It's pointless to argue the facts with these people. If you must engage, grant them whatever point they think they're making and ask them to explain what that has to do with anything that's happening right now.

(18,124 posts)has been blinded by his hate of an AA POTUS, Barack Hussein Obama, being a better man and human being than he could ever be. I really laugh in derision at his stupidity and ignorant, obvious racism. What a truly sick human actually installed as a potus.

(12,509 posts)will break and respond with a tweet so he could engage him in an epoch tweet storm.
Trump would love just one tiny little baby tweet DIRECTLY from Barack's account so he could make a mountain out of a mole hill.
His only problem is that President Obama is smarter than him and won't take the bait.

(6,916 posts)Wed be better off if no one quoted the Hill. At least until Finkelstein sells it.
The Hill hired John Solomon, known right wing shill. Solomon immediately ginned up the Uranium One fake scandal - no one was more responsible for pushing that fake story into the mainstream than The Hill.
Also, the Hill regularly quotes Trump directly, helping him, without stating the truth. As is done in this headline.
We should all swear off The Hill.
