that is very factual indeed. children in cages and family separation are not a trump policy but an american policy and obama and previous president did it too.
that leaves us with covid testing. On June 21st, White House Press Secretary Kayleigh McAnany was asked to verify if Trump had ordered testing to be slowed down. She responded, “No, he has not directed that. Any suggestion that testing has been curtailed is not rooted in fact.” She added, “The president was trying to expose what the media often times does, they ignore the fact that the US has more cases because we have more testing.” She added, “It’s a fact the media readily ignores.”
When asked to clarify that the comment Trump made about slowing down testing wasn’t true, McEnany responded, “It was a comment that he made in jest, a comment he made in passing, specifically with regard to the media coverage...when you test more people, you find more cases.” so not a fact.
see. im probably gonna be downvoted for this because people are not factual and just hate the guy and while there are reasons to hate him they need to be concrete and real
"children in cages" is just reductive way of saying 'a policy of forced family separation'. It's seems pretty apparent that cruelty is a key part of Trump's immigration policy when you have his lawyers arguing in court that soap and toothpaste aren't requisite for sanitary conditions.
Obama did not separate asylum seeking families as policy. Child migrants who came here alone were processed like other migrants. Separating small children from their families is, in my opinion, a moral abomination. The justification for this policy was to deter migration by punishing them and their children. It's wrong.
> Obama did not separate asylum seeking families as policy. Child migrants who came here alone were processed like other migrants.
No, that isn't how it works. The policy is that children gets torn away from their family if the family gets prosecuted for a crime. That policy existed long before Trump. The only thing that changed under Trump was removal of lenience against parents, meaning parents now got prosecuted at same rate as other border crossers.
Yes, In the last 4 years while Trump was in charge it was. He had enough time and political resources and green light at senate. Could have stopped it at any time. He didn't.
