The crying Trump children

There are so many appalling things going on in the world. The Taliban killing 30 Afghan soldiers just 24 hours after enjoying a truce and hugging other Afghan soldiers in end-of-Ramadan celebrations is one of the sickest events reported today. But the sound of children crying for their mothers and fathers in these ghastly camps set up for the separated families coming over illegally from Central America into the US is so desperately sad and wicked and brutal and unforgiveable that if Trump doesn't stop this totally unacceptable policy soon, there must be coordinated condemnation around the world. The video of the weeping children is heartbreaking. But I know what the thinking is inside the White House and the Department of Homeland Security: if parents don't want to be separated from their children, then don't come over the border. It's a ruthlessly tough policy which is having tragic consequences. Senator John McCain, a beacon of inspiration and old-style (pre-Trump) godliness, has called for the policy to end. But his Republican colleagues in Congress just don't seem to know what to do. There is such a lack of visionary thinking going on. All they are concerned about is the mid-term elections in November and don't want to say or do anything that goes against the Trump Doctrine. Except for John McCain. I suspect Trump will not waver until he gets everything he wants - especially Congress funding for The Wall. It's another sad day in the United States of America.
