Crisis Of His Own Making

President Trump has stepped into another PR crisis of his own making. This time it is the separation of families at the border. Trump claims it is a Democratic law and the Democrats should change it. Impartial observers say the prior law has nothing to do with splitting children away from parents. Condemnation of the action is nearly universal. Yet, the administration continues. It seems this White House is unable to get and understand public opinion. It bases action on a small — and getting smaller — base of supporters, and it makes up facts as it goes along. There is no excuse for taking children away from parents whether or not they are illegal. The administration would have it that the children are being protected while their parents are being processed in the immigration system. Try to tell sobbing boys and girls that. Trump is going down as a prolonged case study in bad PR.
