The Idiot Dotard misspelled "separation" in the title of his executive order.

@justinamash
House Republicans had front row seats to @POTUS’s dazzling display of pettiness and insecurity. Nobody applauded or laughed. People were disgusted.

Donald J. Trump
@realDonaldTrump
Had a great meeting with the House GOP last night at the Capitol. They applauded and laughed loudly when I mentioned my experience with Mark Sanford. I have never been a fan of his!

Sample List of Lies from the Trump Administration on the matter of child separation from the parents.

Quote:
“Congress and the courts created this problem, and Congress alone can fix it. Until then, we will enforce every law we have on the books to defend the sovereignty and security of the United States.” — Nielsen

“It's not a policy. Our policy at DHS is to do what we're sworn to do, which is to enforce the law.” — Nielsen

“The only [other] option is to not enforce the law at all.” — Nielsen

“I don't want children taken away from parents. And when you prosecute the parents for coming in illegally, which should happen, you have to take the children away. Now we don't have to prosecute them, but then we're not prosecuting them for coming in illegally.” — Trump

You can’t do it through an executive order.” — Trump

And not only did the administration say it was bound by man's law to do what it was doing; it said it was also bound by God's law. "I would cite you to the Apostle Paul and his clear and wise command in Romans 13," Attorney General Jeff Sessions said recently in defending the policy, "to obey the laws of the government because God has ordained them for the purpose of order.” White House press secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders offered a similar justification, which logic would suggest means Trump will have some explaining to do at the Pearly Gates.

This is such a course reversal that, just two days ago, the White House was saying it wasn't even onboard with Congress passing a stand-alone bill to fix the problem — dismissing such efforts as a “Band-Aid” that didn't deal with core immigration problems. Today, it is gladly applying the “Band-Aid” itself — and in a way it insisted it couldn't.

Rarely has the White House so tacitly and unmistakably admitted to overplaying its hand. And rarely has it so blatantly copped to its own dishonesty about its actions. Nielsen, in particular, has a lot of explaining to do. But this whole thing is an extremely ugly chapter. And it makes clear that, from Day One, this was a political gambit to force an immigration bill through. It didn't work.
Guess the Pope having better relations with God than Sessions disagreed.

And then Trump took a dump and out came the misspelled ""Affording Congress an Opportunity to Address Family Seperation,"

Trump and his DOJ knew full well that his Executive Order essentially only has a shelf-life of 20 days and would be illegal thereafter. If it's hit with a lawsuit, it's his and/or the Congressional GOP's fault. Period.

Senior Justice Department official Gene Hamilton confirms the Flores settlement still controls, and that unless Congress or the court acts, the government can only detain families together for "up to 20 days."

One word answer, Benghazi.
See how that works, what goes around comes around.

The misspelling is deep state sabotage.

Kim Jong Un ends visit to China with a message for the US

Looking like Donny's trade war with China will screw up any hope of a deal with NK. Who will Donny Blame if/when it fails? Hillary? Obama? The Dems?

This is a Lose-Lose for Trump. Kowtow to China and he loses face in Asia.
Does not kowtow to China and stands firm, Rocketman will jilt the Dotard and wins.

Artist of the Deal will comes up short again. Easy to write a book, putting in practice is a whole different story.

Easy-peasy to have a book ghost-written. Said author is of opinion that Trump is a terrible negotiator. Doesn't prepare, gives it all away.
