I was glad to see that the woman who made the cringeworthy pun about Barron Trump’s name was embarrassed enough to apologize. But as I read the angry tweet of Melania Trump, I couldn’t help but wonder when the “Be Best” first lady would rebuke her own husband for the terror he inflicted upon Kurdish children when he stunningly unleashed the Turkish army upon them.
I wonder when Mrs. Trump will seek an apology for the damaged Guatemalan toddlers who were kidnapped from their parents. Those babies lay despondent in kennel-like conditions, in filthy diapers with tinfoil blankets and heads full of lice. These vulnerable children have unnecessarily had post-traumatic stress disorder and other mental illnesses wired into their developing brains, and will likely suffer lifelong emotional trauma from their treatment at the hands of President Donald Trump.
Yes indeed, it would be mighty nice if a powerful woman like Melania Trump could get just a little anti-bullying outrage up over her husband’s kiddie internment camps. And it sure would be sweet if Sens. Lisa Murkowski and Dan Sullivan, two of the most powerful people on the planet, would care enough to put a stop to it.
Due to his serial penchant for involving foreigners in U.S. elections, Donald Trump will be impeached in the U.S. House of Representatives. But it is his atrocities against children that have permanently stained his soul, and it will be the Senate that goes down in history for enabling it.
