Many people who came here illegally brought their children with them. In some cases that was many years ago. Those children, now grown in many cases, had hoped to become citizens, or at least have a legal right to live here. Technically, of course they are here illegally and so Donald Trump wants them deported. This is simply another example of Trump’s inhumanity, there are many other examples.

Where does such a human being come from? That he is not part of the usual run of humans is obvious. Lying comes as naturally to the man as breathing. His lies about Muslims go back at least to the twin towers destruction when he claimed they celebrated that destruction by dancing in New Jersey streets.

He has desperately tried to delegitimize Barack Obama’s presidency by claiming without any evidence that he is not a native-born citizen. He has taken out ads insisting that the central park five, who had been exonerated from the crime they had been convicted of, be executed anyway. Is this a member of thje human race?

Now as president he has attacked his own senior party members, few have escaped his ire, He had a shouting match with the leader of the Senate without whom he can accomplish nothing legislatively. He has picked more fights with Republican senators than he has with Democrats. Perhaps he expects a loyalty from Republicans that he does not expect from Democrats and when he doesn’t get it he explodes.

Now with the pardoning of Arpaio he tests the waters for pardoning members of his inner circle, his family and perhaps even himself. Finally, Donald Trump may have put himself beyond any legal accountability. Go figure.
