Meanwhile, Donald Trump…
After a campaign launched on denigrating Mexican immigrants as criminals and “rapist”s and some “good people…”
After just announcing the repeal of DACA…
After continuing to push his agenda for a nonsensical border wall…
He had the gall to tweet:
God bless the people of Mexico City. We are with you and will be there for you.
— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) September 19, 2017
In what way are YOU with the people of Mexico City??
Sorry, but your condolences and empty promises mean nothing. Delete your account, racist.
