What Donald #Trump hates about #Obama is the following Barack and Michelle actually love each other. Which is something him and Melania never have experienced.
Melania it’s Ok to leave your husband. Maybe then you won’t be prosecuted by the next administration for Immigration Fraud.

Why did ICE detain a 7 year old child from Oregon-and then ship her to Texas
And why have they done this same thing to 3,800 other children
It’s deplorable. And make no mistake. Donald Trump is to blame

I was just denied entry to the Dilley detention facility while my constituent, seven-year-old Diana, remains inside.
What kind of sick, horrific conditions are children being forced to endure in there?
I will be back tomorrow. Accountability can’t wait.
