Despite saying he didn’t have the authority to sign an executive order to stop the separation of immigrant families at the US border, Donald Trump ‘realised’ he did. Because on 20 June, he
signed the order.

President Trump has signed an executive order ending the separation of families at the U.S. border.
Five days ago, he said it was not possible to sign an executive order ending the separation of families at the U.S. border.

‘Magic’ powers
Trump found what must be ‘magic’ powers. As
Channel 4 News pointed out effortlessly, signing this order was quite a turnaround. Because on 15 June, he
said he couldn’t. And he tried to pin the
blame on the Democrats.
In fact, he’s been deflecting blame onto the Democrats quite a lot:
Democrats are the problem. They don’t care about crime and want illegal immigrants, no matter how bad they may be, to pour into and infest our Country, like MS-13. They can’t win on their terrible policies, so they view them as potential voters!
It’s the Democrats fault, they won’t give us the votes needed to pass good immigration legislation. They want open borders, which breeds horrible crime. Republicans want security. But I am working on something - it never ends!
On 15 June, then, immigration laws were apparently
impossible to change through an executive order at all. And
Trump blamed the Democrats for a law he created.But now, he’s
signed one. And others on his team have also backtracked:
President Trump handed DHS Secretary Kirstjen Nielsen the pen after he signed the executive order ending the separation of families on the border. It's a policy she said three days ago didn't exist.
‘Lies’
As Bernie Sanders has
said, the Trump administration can’t get their own story straight. And Sanders posted a video on 20 June with some sage advice for Trump:
If you’re gonna lie, at least tell the same lie over and over again.
The video says Trump’s people are using these lies to “cover up their immoral policy”.
As
The Canary previously
reported, Trump’s administration has
enforced a “zero-tolerance” immigration policy since April. Prior to this, children stayed with their parents.
Congratulations?
As one Democratic politician said:
We shouldn't congratulate
@RealDonaldTrump on being forced to end his own cruel policy that separates children from their families. Thousands of children have suffered & will forever be scarred by the Trump Administration’s inhumane separation of families.
#FamiliesBelongTogether
And he’s right. Because Trump is ending a policy he created in the first place
