Anyone hoping for a new and presidential Trump was sorely disappointed by his much-touted immigration speech yesterday – which was mostly about how Hillary Clinton and her ilk had handed over innocent Americans to murderous illegal immigrants for their own corrupt purposes. And because every Trump speech has a fresh dose of bigotry, he suggested that some groups, regardless of their legal status, could never be assimilated—“Sometimes, it’s just not going to work out”—and so America should choose “immigrants that we think are the likeliest to thrive and flourish and love us.” (As Amy Davidson says below, it’s often hard to know with Trump if “us” really constitutes a bigger group than “me.”)
Hillary Clinton, he said, supported the release of “dangerous, dangerous, dangerous criminals.” Why was she worried about dividing immigrant families through deportation, he asked, when American families were being divided by murder-by-immigrants? His answer—his answer to almost any question involving Clinton—was that she was a criminal herself.
Trump is has done more damage to America and Americans than any presidential candidate in memory. And we have ten more weeks of his bigoted drivel.

This blog will focus on political images I have found all around the Internet, though I will intersperse some commentary and quotes that I find interesting.
