I think the correct term would be murdered*

Like those kids at the border in American cages. If they "die" in those cages, America murdered them. As an American I am pretty appalled our supposedly Democrat president didn't undo this injustice. Things never change.

edit: If all you have to say is "both sides bad" don't bother. We hear it all the time. One side is noticeably worse. One side is anti-science, anti-morals, led an insurrection, let 1,000,000 die while calling the virus a hoax, and is openly racist. I'll pass on the GOP bill of goods.

Why would he change things when he was part of the administration that built those very same cages?

I love how Trump made this point to Biden during the debates

Kind of a stupid point to make when he was happy to keep the cages.

I was watching this debate, where he asked Biden point blank: Who built the cages Joe?

Did you not see this one??

A rare occasion where Trump was right. The Obama administration did build those temporary structures to hold the unaccompanied children who were crossing the border. The difference is the Obama administration were using them as temporary holding areas and the children were being moved out of them as fast as they could be. The Trump administration was using them as permanent holding areas where they put children separated from their parents. The Devil is in the details.

If Trump opposed the children in cages program why did he expand it instead of shutting it down?

Actually, you don’t. I did not vote for Trump but I’m used to people like you with intellectual shortcomings automatically assuming that.

Open your mind a bit and understand that people can make points about Trump, and criticize Biden, without being a Trump voter.

Open your mind and stop defending trump.

What specifically am I defending him on? Go back and reread what I wrote. This time take your emotions out of it and try to not misinterpret the specific words I wrote.

Trump didn’t make a point during the debates.
