NEW: I asked Pres Trump how he felt seeing the images of women and children running from tear gas.
“I do say why are they there?...Why is a parent running up into an area where they know the tear gas is forming and it’s going to be formed. And they’re running up with a child” 1

More from Pres Trump on women/children & tear gas at the border:
“In some cases you know they’re not the parents. These are people they call them grabbers, they grab a child because they think they’re going to have a certain status by having a child.“ (2)

The president also said the tear gas is “very safe.”
“First of all the tear gas is a very minor form of the tear gas itself. It’s very safe. The ones that were suffering to a certain extent were the people that were putting it out.” (3)
