Look for Trump's support among America's self styled outlaws to plummet. That is because the Bandit King--Robin Hood, Pretty Boy Floyd--the mythical man of the people who defies the establishment and breaks the law to lift up the little (mostly rural) people who have been forgotten must follow a few simple rules. And one of them is protect the mothers and children.
Yes, the fascists and the neo-Nazis and Stormfront are mighty pleased. This is ethnic cleansing at its finest. Yes, any rich pedophile hoping to snag a immigrant child for his own perverted pleasure and any rich Trump donor in need of a docile domestic "slave" to hand rear is more than pleased.
But these folks are not members of the SSAO--the Self Styled American Outlaws. The self styled outlaws--the people who like to imagine that they are Sons of Anarchy--- are watching in horror as the man who promised to drain the swamp is using the swamp to bury the bodies instead. Tiny little bodies, of children whose faces are contorted in fear as their mothers' are dragged away.
It is now official. Trump is going down. I expect his Russian handlers will try to play their last card--persuade him to go with the Bob Roberts option and use a less than expert marksman and hope that Trump makes a better martyr than he did a Bandit King. But Trump is self serving above all else. He will never put himself in the line of fire.
And so, everyone is going down with him. Which will be yet another way in which Trump will fail to live up to his hype as the Bandit King. The Bandit King makes a big self sacrifice in the end. Trump will do whatever it takes to hang on to power, even if it means blowing up a friendly target in order to drum up an excuse for war. Who will die so that Trump can prosper? He does not care. The man has no heart, no soul. If he can do that to children, do you imagine that he would hesitate for a moment to murder you,a grown up American citizen for his own political gain?

(13,259 posts)A lot of Trumpist Republicans seem to actually like hurting others. As torture, separating parents and children is extremely efficient. And it leaves no physical marks.
I think you are far too optimistic. A huge part of the population believes that no punishment is too harsh for these non-human creatures, these animals. Remember Trump licking his chops about going after their families many months ago, speaking about Muslims/terrorists or gang members, or some other monsters. Remember how keen they are to reinstate torture as US policy.
Trump is not the Bandit King, and doesnt want to be. He is, and wants to be, something far more dangerous.

(10,098 posts)He was 100% right when he said he could shoot someone on 5th Avenue and not lose any voters. Ironically, probably the one time he told the truth during his whole campaign. These children are not white, his deplorables love this.
