President Donald Trump believed that ripping apart immigrant families and jailing babies would be a winning political issue for him, but instead the horrific policy blew up in his face.
Jonathan Lemire, the White House correspondent for the Associated Press, told MSNBCs Morning Joe that Trump enacted the policy which he later blamed on Democrats to intentionally ignite another political firestorm.
In our reporting, he was telling people around him that he thought this would be a good cultural war, kind of victory here, akin to the NFL players kneeling for the national anthem, Lemire said.
The president and attorney general Jeff Sessions admitted they hoped the detained children would force Democrats to agree to fund a border wall, along with other Trump immigration priorities, but instead he signed an executive order to end the separations.

In other words, the people would be sooooo angry that they would blame the Dems for the caged children and not the Republicans. Which makes a little sense since he spent so much time saying the Democrats needed to fix this and his hands were tied (nice image) because of the Democratic policies
