Spanking. That’s what I first thought of. His next outing with an underage Russian model…spanking. He always teaches us there will always be a next low.
Now it’s been reported that the kid wasn’t separated from her family by DHS. Time needs to run a correction. BTW, where was the media when the Obama administration was doing what the Trump administration is being accused of? I don’t remember hearing a peep out of them.
They call the deportations “one of the most contentious domestic issues of the Obama presidency”. Contentious means people were arguing about it a lot. So if you don’t remember anybody talking about it, it must be your memory.

I heard lots of peeps. Obama was frequently called the “deporter-in-chief”.
Here’s an NYT article I found with no effort:
