In 1 week, Trump has tied himself into an impossible immigration knot
Pretty good analysis of Donny’s fine mess, from one of the real news outlets he hates the most, because they report the truth.

If you were to try to chart Trump's positions over the course of week, it would go something like this (we're mostly paraphrasing here and forgive us if we're missing a position or two):
I hate that I have to do this.
It's Democrats' fault. They should work on legislation with Republicans.
This can help us fix the immigration problem.
We can't let the US become a migrant camp.
I can't do anything about it. It's the law I'm enforcing.
The immigration crisis is a monstrosity.
If we don't do this separate children and families, immigrants will flood the border.
Fine. I'll sign an executive order, but I still have zero tolerance.
These kids are fine and staying in the nicest facilities.
Seriously. People are suffering and it's Democrats' fault.
You guys figure it out, I'll sign a bill you give me.
Doesn't matter which one.
The non-bipartisan so-called compromise bill is nice.
These stories of immigrant children are phony.
Fine. Give up. Don't waste your time before the election.
Elect more Republicans.
