Trump Slammed for Tweet Blaming Democrats for Deaths of Children at Border: ‘New Low’
President Donald Trump blaming Democrats and “their pathetic immigration policies” for the deaths of two children at the border immediately spurred condemnation and remarks that this represents a “new low”:
This is pretty depraved but also an amazing window into his mind. It’s not that the government bureaucracy has failed or the system is overwhelmed and needs to be changed. It’s that his opponents are to blame. https://t.co/mJqhkUXFnC

Pretty sure this is a new low. (Also, what he calls Democratic policies were in place for decades and kids weren’t dying in US govt custody.) https://t.co/0Zig4dqNZh

It’s really painful to have a President who truly has no compassion. He is right out of a horror movie. When he is finally gone people will speak much more openly about what a monster he is. https://t.co/MsqadbrWdJ
