Mark Morford: Trump is a most shameful and cruel old man

[n2doc]

History is going to need a new thesaurus.

We are fast running out of sufficiently derogatory words for Trump and his vile, cancerous administration. "Cruel" has become a frontrunner, and for good reason. Also heartless, incompetent, laughable, shallow and megalomaniacal, authoritarian and desperately, gaspingly vain. Deeply racist, misogynistic, imbecilic and a thousand more. On it goes.

The list, if you can imagine, just got longer, as Trump has finally decided to put an end to DACA, the wonderfully successful, enormously inclusive Obama-era program that allowed nearly a million (so far) children of illegal immigrants remain in the country and become productive members of society, shielding them from deportation and instead giving them a viable and path to citizenship by helping them get work, go to school, get a driver’s license, pay taxes and simply fulfill the dream of becoming true and vital citizens, all without fear of reprisal or persecution.

DACA, despite legal hurdles, has been one of the most elegant, successful solutions to the immigration problem, one resonating with trademark Obama-era compassion and thoughtfulness.

1. wurst president ever

[gratuitous]

2. And the cruel cherry on this shit sundae?

ICE is going to use DACA information to go after its beneficiaries. Nothing like a vulnerable victim that's hog-tied and helpless, but that's the way Republicans roll.
