Donald Trump finally made it. He has reached the level of one of the most reviled leaders in the world as he yanked a four-month-old nursing baby from its mother. Then, he commanded his people to not comfort that child or any of the other babies, toddlers, young children, and teens stolen away from their parents. Now this.

The president’s policy could be ended with just one phone call. Yet instead, his people misquote the Bible to justify their horrendous, soulless actions.

This is what happens when a country votes a leader into office with no compassion, no empathy, no concern for anyone but himself. Instead, he stands happily with murderous, cruel dictators: Russia’s Vladimir Putin, North Korea’s Kim Jong Un, and others.

Under Trump’s rule, U.S. immigration authorities held 2,000 children in just the past six weeks and incarcerated them in cages in windowless buildings. Even so, his vile program has just begun ramping up. Many of these are the children of people fleeing one vicious environment and legally seeking sanctuary in this, our vicious leader’s land.

The president of the American Association of Pediatrics labeled POTUS separating these children from their parents “government-sanctioned child abuse,” The New York Times reported.

The United Nations high commissioner for human right, Zeid Ra’ad al-Hussein, called Trump’s inhumane actions out to the world for what they were “abuse,” and demanded a halt:

‘The thought that any state would seek to deter parents by inflicting such abuse on children is unconscionable.’

Al-Hussein said that pulling children apart from their parents will cause them “irreparable harm with lifelong consequences,” according to the Times. Trump allegedly has been considering pulling the U.S. out of the United Nations Human Rights Council in Geneva.

 Former first lady Laura Bush, wrote an op-ed piece in The Washington Post naming the separations “cruel” and “immoral.”

Trump was quick to shift the blame from himself to the Democrats in a tweet:

‘Why don’t the Democrats give us the votes to fix the world’s worst immigration laws? Where is the outcry for the killings and crime being caused by gangs and thugs, including MS-13, coming into our country illegally?’

The high commissioner’s office condemned Trump’s policy of removing children from their parents a “serious violation of children’s rights and international law,” according to the Times. U.S. ambassador to the U.N., Nicki Haley, responded that the agency was full of “ignorance and hypocrisy.”

Former member of Congress, Mickey Edwards (R-OK) told POLITICO:

‘The Founders weren’t worried because they said, ‘(The president) can’t get away with that, because Congress has the ultimate power to stop it. Trump is nothing but a loud-mouthed bully unless the people who have the power to check him don’t do it. Then his claims are accurate: He can get away with it.’

At the opening session of the Human Rights Council, the Times reported that al-Hussein warned of “self-serving callous leaders” and:

‘The more pronounced their sense of self-importance, the more they glory in nationalism, the more unvarnished is the assault on the overall common good — on universal rights, on universal law and universal institutions, such as this one.’

The crowded council chamber gave him a standing ovation.
