"SNIP......

A four-month-old baby was likely the youngest migrant child separated from their family by the Trump administration last year, according to The New York Times.

A recent episode of the newspaper's TV series "The Weekly" showed how the child was taken from his father at the US-Mexico border last year and spent five months in government custody.

Though the child, Constantin Mutu, was eventually reunited with his family, his parents say he's not the same. He is now 18 months old and cannot walk or speak.

President Donald Trump brushed aside criticisms of his administration's family separations, telling Telemundo in an interview that aired Thursday that he "brought families together."

This is what should be expected when children are confined and neglected.

Rot in hell Trump.

Where does anyone learn this? Perhaps he got away with it before, and never changed. The Russians told him he could get elected? Trump must like to lie. How does one learn to ..."like to lie" ? The bigger lie the better..?

This is only the beginning. We will be hearing about the effect of these atrocities for the next twenty years.
