It doesn't matter if Trump said strong one thousand times. If your goal was to get him to change his policy, then the reasonable position is to acknowledge that he can be influenced by the right cause and/or with the right pressure. Instead, the response is to criticize a different attribute of Trump (or by some others: the reversal itself). This seems to indicate that the goal is not policy change, but slander, more or less. Anyone that's being honest with themselves can't think this is civil political dialogue.

The reality is, if you read Trumps executive order, nothing has changed. It seems to be more of a PR move. This would be the area to be criticized, in my opinion, if I were annoyed with Trump's border policy. Most people don't read anything, they just follow the talking heads.Trump is basically trying to get a district judge to make an exemption for the children to remain with their families, but I'll believe it when I see it. Without that, he can't change what he's doing and still prosecute families crossing the border illegally. To be fair, Trump did say he expects legislation to follow (then it won't matter what the judge rules), but, again, I'll believe it when I see it.

You seem to be confused. I should give him credit? For what? You say yourself "it seems to be more of a PR move." Go ahead and give him credit for a PR move if you wish. You seem to be an easy mark.

And show me the proof that "most people don't read anything, they just follow the talking heads." You mean you just follow the talking heads? Or just the people who don't agree with you?

Donald is way in over his head. He proves it every day. If he keeps listening to idiots like Stephen Miller he'll continue to look and act like the dimwitted politician he's showing himself to be.

Makes sense.

You think this guy is going to give anybody credit? He probably hasn't had a rational thought that was actually his own since middle school.

lol ... you're really reaching now. Look, I understand you're embarrassed. You credit Donald continuously, only to see him change course right after you post.

You're really getting insecure, so if whining about me is part of your therapy, I'm glad to help.
