President Donald Trump is responding to continued criticism of his “animals” comment by scolding the press for taking his comment out of context.
Fake News Media had me calling Immigrants, or Illegal Immigrants, “Animals.” Wrong! They were begrudgingly forced to withdraw their stories. I referred to MS 13 Gang Members as “Animals,” a big difference – and so true. Fake News got it purposely wrong, as usual!

On Wednesday, Trump himself did not specify that he was only talking about only gang members when he made the comment during a roundtable about sanctuary cities, saying “these aren’t people, these are animals, and we’re taking them out of the country at a level and at a rate that’s never happened before.”
The “animal” in the White House is, as usual, wrong.
This is the full context of what he said:
Sheriff: I want to be able to report suspected MS13 members to ICE without probable cause
Trump: Yes! The people coming into this country are animals!
The thing is, Trump doesn’t draw a distinction between immigrants who are MS13 and immigrants who aren’t. This is the “they’re bringing drugs, they’re bringing crimes, they’re rapists” guy.
Ummmmm…who exactly was “begrudgingly forced to withdraw their stories”???
'Cause I sure haven’t seen any “withdrawals”…
Taking another early morning ragedump from the golden throne, I see. Somebody tell the White House kitchen to stir some metamucil into his mashed potatoes.
