At one agency, the children were put into temporary foster care and shelters with little or no indication that they arrived at the border with their parents: propub.li/2QcsPvY

1. This tweet is incoherent. If Kim Jong Un is so excited about a post-nuke future, then why does his nuclear program continue?
2. It’s still remarkable to see Trump fawn over a totalitarian dictator who brutalizes his own people like this.

This reads to me like Trump elbowing out the 40 year tradition of PBS’s “A Capitol Fourth” concert and fireworks, in order to turn it into a Trump campaign event.
For Trump, the entire US government is a theatrical set for his campaign.
