It is disgusting for the WH to do this. Unprofessional at best.

MS-13 animals has gone from a presidential utterance to White House doctrine. This WH press release on what you need to know about the violent animals of MS-13 calls them animals 8 times.

A nod back to the GOP convention in Cleveland, when an entire program was devoted to casting illegal immigration as a crisis of American safety. Very few people paid it much notice.

Probably one of the most disgusting "press releases" they've ever issued. Those are not professional journalists or even trained in media and public relations. Just beneath the dignity of any public office.

I'm not minimizing any murders but there were 56 murders in Suffolk County in ALL of 2016 and 2017, so we're talking roughly the number of victims in Parkland attributable to MS-13 over 18 months there. Ten people, mostly kids, died Fri in Santa Fe. Where's that press release?

(14,784 posts)to reframe Trump's comments a few days ago where he clearly refers to *immigrants* as "animals." The Communications shop has since tried to spin it as him referring to MS-13 only, but that isn't what he's saying if you read the entire transcript. By flooding the conversation with MS-13/animal references they are trying to drown out the record of what he really said.

(69,727 posts)would challenge him calling ms-13 folks animals also. He is vindictive.

(6,828 posts)and I got some responses from my conservative friends that it was FAKE NEWS. And I replayed the vid and in context some sheriff was complaining about the red tape of holding illegals and at the end mentioned ms13 maybe as a hypothetical. My impression is that, in context, he was commenting on his point of view on illegal immigrants IN GENERAL, not MS13 specifically.
It seems like "conservative media" has RETROFITTED their idea of the context, which was referring ONLY to th MS13 people as "animals"?

So I think the original Goebbels vs. Trump meme stands as valid and legitimate and not taken out of context that much.
And all the memes i share must be bona fide and totally legitimate. I want to be on the side of truth and facts and honesty and reason. And if those are your principals, then stooping to lies/propaganda is not required, and counter-productive.
like the truman quote, "I just gave the Republicans the truth and they thought it was hell."
