Trump's sham executive order on family separations was just a ploy to kill bad headlines and now he regrets even that meaningless gesture.
When outrage over Trumps child confiscation crisis reached a fever pitch, Trump feigned compassion for the kids by signing a sham executive order that doesnt actually protect families from being separated.
But now, Trump reportedly
wishes that he hadnt taken even that meager action because ripping children away from their parents was playing well with his supporters.
The New York Times reports that Trump has privately groused to his aides that he should not have signed the executive order that he falsely claimed would end family separations.
And on Monday mornings edition of CNNs New Day, New York Times reporter Maggie Haberman added that Trump seemed to have been pushed into doing something that he doesnt necessarily want to do when he signed the order.
He wanted to make the TV images go away, Haberman said. He wanted this issue to disappear magically and quickly last week.
