Wide Awoke appreciates that these are both horrifying and confusing times. Which, at best, is unfathomably deluded. Which, at best (or is that worst? ), makes the first lady a voice of morality. Melania Trump speaks out against child separations at border: 'Hate to see it' Read more What on earth is going on? For a start, this is hardly speaking out against anything, when what the first lady actually said was she “hates to see children separated from their parents” and hopes “both sides of the aisle” can come together. No matter how much Melania Trump hates seeing children held in cages with foil sheets for blankets, this is a gross mischaracterisation of a policy enacted by the Trump administration alone. To which she is intimately bonded. On the same day, former first lady Laura Bush also spoke out against the zero tolerance policy, describing it as “cruel”, “immoral” and “eerily reminiscent of the Japanese American internment camps of World War Two, now considered to have been one of the most shameful episodes in US history”. We should all “hate” the separation of children from their parents, not because we are women or men, mothers or father.
