In Which Donald Trump Rants Incoherently, Expresses No Sympathy for Children Who Die Crossing the Border, and Says He's Glad John McCain Is Dead

Interesting tidbit about the father in that drowning photo:

Martínez, his wife Tania Vanessa Ávalos, and their little girl are from El Salvador. After leaving their home country in April, and spending several months in southern Mexico, they ventured north in an attempt to enter the U.S. Over the weekend, they tried to apply for asylum at the international bridge in Matamoros, Mexico, but found offices closed and many ahead of them in line. So they decided to cross the Rio Grande.

Now it’s possible the offices were closed because it was the weekend, but I wouldn’t put it past these Trump goons to purposefully close offices to prevent people from making asylum claims.
