Faces of Defeat as Trump Undoes His Separation of Children from Their Parents Policy

The Trump White House was pretty down today as the President undid the order they all pretended he never made and then defended him for making.

Here are the faces of defeat as Trump undid his inhumane attack on children and babies:

But just because Trump will no longer be instigating a policy of separation does not mean that all is well. Those concentration camps will be put to use by this administration. They are simply going to detain family members together now, allegedly, although it is unclear how this executive order will actually work.

Mr. Strong Man caved again. Donald Trump thought he could kidnap and cage children in order to “win” a battle over immigration policy, but the world was not impressed. So today Trump undid what he alone did before – the thing he blamed Democrats for, even though it was a policy that came from him and not from Congress and Republicans are in charge of both the White House and Congress.
