How can anyone stand to watch this guy at all? :poot:

My grandma's watching in the other room (and yelling at the TV :poot:) and I'm getting annoyed at him. I can't imagine actually watching it myself. 

Whimsical bitch

This is getting more and more disgusting... He found two families whose children were killed by MS-13 gang members (obviously black, because then it can't be racist) and brought them to use them as props in order to try to justify his harsh, draconian, xenophobic immigration policies. 

"Trump and his officials misunderstand the gang. While MS-13's activities might seem more aggressive in some areas, the gang operates like most other domestic gangs, and deportations, authorities say, aren't the solution.

Indeed, MS-13 started because of deportations. The gang began with Salvadoran immigrants in L.A., until under the Clinton administration, federal agents tried to empty prisons by deporting undocumented gang members back to El Salvador, which had been left essentially lawless following the civil war.

More than 2,000 criminals were deported to El Salvador over a four-year period. With the new tactics they'd acquired from U.S. gangs, they took over neighborhoods and feuded with another U.S.-born gang, Barrio 18. A crackdown by police forced 31,000 young people behind bars; most of them were later be released without charges. This is believed to have increased MS-13's ranks — by forcing people who had loose gang affiliations to get more involved. Worsening conditions in El Salvador caused another mass migration, forcing MS-13 to spread beyond Los Angeles to the East Coast.

However, Jorja Leap, professor at the University of California who spent 10 years studying MS-13, told The Atlantic that toward the end of the last decade, the gang's power waned significantly, and aside from a few high-profile murders, the group is mainly being used by the Trump administration to bolster their case for a crackdown on immigration."

It is so disgusting. Using people in so much pain as props to fuel his nationalist agenda.

Is it normal for senators and congressman to applaud every sentence? Seriously, "Terrorists are enemy combatants" deserves a standing ovation? That's just a basic fact.
