    “No, the opposite. In fact, I’m going to be letting two officers from Washington police DC, I believe they’re from DC, but I just approved it,” Trump said. “They were arrested, put in jail for five years, because they went after an illegal, and I guess something happened where something went wrong and they arrested the two officers and put them in jail for going after a criminal. A rough criminal, by the way. And I’m actually releasing… no I’m the friend, I am the friend of police more than any president who’s ever been in this office.”

    Everyone is “an illegal” now if it’s politically convenient.

        It is likely that the vast majority of what he is signing was someone else’s idea. Maybe he agrees with it, maybe he is just doing it because he was complimented when it was handed to him, but it is extremely unlikely that he initiated more than a few of the things he has signed.

      Hylton-Brown is a US citizen, police say, and not in the country illegally as the president claims

      Yeah, but also despite being born with a penis, and making no attempt to ever change my gender, I’m now legally a female. And so are you if you’re an American.
