Or the Deep State bias against Trump.

I wonder how many hours he practices in the mirror to be able to gaslight America with a straight face.

Trump and his people are only interested in causing hurt and pain.
This is why hurting children is not “inadequate” it is the manly thing to do.

“Inadequate food, inadequate water and uncleaned cells,” he listed. “None of those have been substantiated.”

“What can I tell you right now is that there’s adequate food, water.”

No wonder he’s the Acting Homeland Security Secretary.

At Theresenstadt and another ghetto, Nazi’s filmed people eating in cafes and dancing folk dances to prove conditions were good and put paid to reports that there was overcrowding, disease and malnutrition.
I’m surprised this hasn’t occurred to border security yet.

The NYT has a great article documenting the conditions there. And a nice graphic layout of the facility.

They’re not inadequate, they’re working exactly as intended, to make conditions as harsh and inhumane as possible without killing too many of them (although they did have to stop tracking that metric…).
