BREAKING: Melania Trump is at southern border today, meeting migrant children, POTUS says

...look for the whitewash, with Trump posing in new, pristine facilities in the child internment camps to make it appear all is well and safe for these children.

She needs to be pressed about reuniting children her husband already separated from their parents. How many facilities are these kids in now? What is their condition? Why hasn’t the media been allowed in other facilities to see and verify that the conditions are humane?

They think they have an image problem. It's the fucking optics... disgusting.
The Trumps should be the ones in prison.

I hope her pea brain realizes that they won't be impressed. A visit from a pretend FLOTUS isn't what they want or need.

I hope she can bring something positive to this nightmare. I will give her credit if and when it is due.

Look, I’m glad these people are trying. But this is a Disneyfied version of a lousy situation and it’s going to be presented as a norm. No cages! No crying! We love them!
