US President Donald Trump resorts to unorthodox means in the battle for his prestige project on a Mexico Wall: Yesterday, he blamed opposition Democrats for the deaths of two Guatemalan children who were killed in custody by the US border authorities.
„Every death of children or others at the border is strictly the democrats‘ mistake and their miserable migration policy, which allows people to tackle the long march in the belief that they are entering our country illegally. They can not, „wrote Trump on Twitter. „If we had a wall, they would not even try,“ he continued.
Dispute over budget law
Trump is currently fighting for the financing of the wall and has therefore accepted a government deadlock for lack of a new budget law. He refused to sign a law and thereby give him legal force that does not include funds for the construction of the wall. The Democrats, on the other hand, consider Trump’s bricklaying plans to be purely a campaign bullet with which he intends to bind his anti-immigrant voter layers.
The opposition accuses Trump of politicizing the deaths of children and trying to exploit him for his prestige project of a border wall to Mexico. „He invents things again,“ said Democrat MEP Ted Lieu on Twitter. Trump is not a doctor. The Democrats demand an independent investigation of the incidents. New York MP Gerry Connolly stressed on MSNBC that Trump is using the deaths as a political tool. Trump completely lacks human compassion.
