Trump Calls Young Migrant Children Liars – Suggests They’re Crisis Actors

President Donald Trump on Tuesday said that the immigrant children being held at detention facilities in the United States are being trained to lie in order to gain unlawful entry into the country.
While speaking at the National Federation of Independent Business, Trump defiantly said that he would not be changing his administration’s policies on separating immigrant children from their families.
Specifically, Trump said that immigrant children were coached to make false statements about the reasons they are fleeing their home countries to gain entrance to the United States.
“They tell these people exactly what to say,” Trump alleged. “They say, ‘Say the following.’ They write it down. ‘I am being harmed in my country. My country is extremely dangerous. I fear for my life.'”
Trump then said that such statements were “given to them by lawyers who are waiting for them to come up” to the United States.
Finally, Trump said that refugees fleeing violence in their home countries were simply lying about the reasons for wanting to come to the United States.
“They’re not coming for that reason,” he said. “They’re coming up for many other reasons.”

Migrant kids are ‘child actors,’ Ann Coulter says on Fox News, telling Trump not to be fooled
by Eli Rosenberg

Conservative commentator Ann Coulter on Sunday charged on Fox News that some of the migrant children who have been photographed in varying stages of distress were “child actors.”
“These child actors weeping and crying on all the other networks 24/7 right now; do not fall for it, Mr. President,” she said, staring directly into the camera.
A photograph by Getty Images’ John Moore of a 2-year-old crying as her mother was patted down by a border agent before the two were separated ricocheted around the media-sphere over the weekend, becoming a stand-in for what some see as the abject cruelty of the new practice.
Moore, who has been photographing the border for 10 years after stints covering war zones overseas, told The Washington Post about how he took the photo, after watching a group of migrants cross the border in boats before being apprehended by agents.
Coulter’s remarks went unquestioned by Fox News host Steve Hilton, on whose show she appeared. He did try to move the conversation forward as a break in the show approached.
“I don’t know if that’s …” he said, trailing off as Coulter continued.
“These kids are being coached,” she said. “They’re given scripts to read by liberals. . . . Don’t fall for the actor children.”
She said her information came from New Yorker magazine, though it was not immediately clear which report she was referring to.
Over a series of emails with The Post, Coulter did not provide evidence for her claim.
Re: Trump says migrant children are coached to lie When is the Donald buying a vacation home for Barron and Melania in Guatemala and/or El Salvatore. Also when is Mr Sessions sending his children and grandchild down there too? If it's so safe there they haven't they already done so? Do they know what the word "refugee" actually means? Why doesn't "gang violence" count?

Re: Trump says migrant children are coached to lie "Trump says migrant children are coached to lie"
You can file this under giving the devil his due, but this is one point upon which I feel Trump is a truly credible authority.
But the catch is that if you are coached to lie then you, naturally, do it all the time, just for practice.
So if Trump is the such an authority on lying where is his lie in this claim ?
Re: Trump says migrant children are coached to lie Trump is the most blatent liar in public office that I have ever noticed. So if he says something about lying.... is he lying or impressed with other folk's mendacity?
Re: Trump says migrant children are coached to lie When ... if ... whenever conservatives say "crisis actors" just remember it is the NRA's psychological projection of it doing what is wrong if you OTHER people even try to do what we do on ypur own own. Even a real grassroots movement can do what we always do, and as we OWN a the concept of the gun lobby pretending to be a grassroots movement.
It is our brand, so no real grassroots movement can be what we claim to be, or we hire power K Street lawyers and we will sue them, so even high school kids can't infringe on our fake news brand with facing the power of K Street.
