Trump has no accomplishments in office.
An unpopular tax bill, rules rewritten to help big corporations, agreements torn up, allies angered.
Nothing that helps people. That’s why he depends on absurd lies—he wants us afraid.

Consider his lies on immigration and the border: 1/
He acts as though his immigration policies are about safety, crime, and gangs.
Except his family separation policy means that DOJ is more focused on hurting families, and taking money and people away from... drug enforcement. 2/ usatoday.com/story/news/201…

If Trump’s anti-immigrant stances are about safety, why stop immigrants from seeking a legal path to citizenship by serving in our armed forces? How does that make us safer?
It doesn’t, obviously. 3/

Trump sent a bunch of troops to “secure” the border. And what are they doing now?
“soldiers are doing everything from shoveling manure to changing tires. What they’re not doing: Watching the border.” 4/ politico.com/magazine/story…

What effect is this having at the border? It isn’t making communities there safer, it’s creating an environment of fear. 5/
Trump says he wants “law, order, and justice.” Really!? Then Why is he saying that he is above the law? Why is he attacking American law enforcement every day?
And why is he calling for suspension of legal order and due process? 6/

If his focus is really on crime and gangs, why did he repeatedly reject huge amounts of funding for border security because it didn’t meet his demands for large cuts to *legal* immigration? 7/
Trump was offered funding for his wall in exchange for protecting Dreamers. He said NO because he didn’t get the cuts he wanted to *legal*, family-based immigration.
Because, at its core, his immigration stance is anti-family. 8/

That’s the truth. The central, guiding principle of Trump’s immigration stance is xenophobia.
Trump isn’t fighting crime, he’s tearing apart families. His team has no idea how to put them back together again. Trump doesn’t care.
That’s why he lies. 9/9 cnn.com/2018/07/07/pol…
