Ha, ha, ha. That is so funny. Just a joke.
White House Press secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders said that Trump was joking.
Trump’s joke is only amusing if he really wants people arrested treated with great care and concern. If he doesn’t, then it’s not a joke.
Likewise, SHS’s qualification of the statement as a joke’s only chance at exonerating the remark (and Trump) is if Trump meant the opposite. And if he did mean that prisoners should be treated with great care always, he should present evidence that he has said so, ever, and then he should say so again, passionately, to law enforcement officers. Today.

Will no one rid Trump of these meddlesome Actings?
Seriously, though, ten bucks says this Rosenberg fellow breathed an enormous sigh of relief when Trump finally gave him a law-enforcement-specific reason to write the commonsense memo that will surely get him fired or moved to the front of the “hire this guy a boss” line.
I guess we all missed the funny part.
Trump celebrated suspected gang members being “thrown in” to paddy wagons, and said police officers “can take the hand away” from handcuffed individuals’ heads as they are guided into the back seat of police cars…
When they finally push Trump into the squad car, he’ll be the one screaming, “Not the hair! Not the hair!”
Looks like the DEA is going to be looking for a new Acting Adminstrator soon.
Have you heard the joke about how Donny was bleeding from his rectum after his secret tryst with Putin? “Rough negotiations” can do that.
Yeah, I wasn’t sure which part I was supposed to laugh about either.
But I also think it’s important to quote Sanders precisely:
“I believe he was making a joke at the time”
The weasel word “believe” is quite intentional. Fascist scum.
How many agencies now have sent out some kind of message that boils down to: The President doesn’t speak for the government so ignore him?
The other two branches aren’t cooperating either.
We have a government at war with the president and his immediate circle.
All Republican “humor” is about hurting people without the power to defend themselves or strike back. Why should this be any different?
I hope somebody smacks that sanctimonious puss of Chucklebee’s right into the ER.
My! Oh, they were just joking!
Deep State v. Derp State
Guess which one will win?
Yeah I know how this movie will end I just want them to get on with it. He could still surprise the fuck out of us in the worst sort of ways.
I definitely wouldn’t want to put my hand on top of that thing.
This is what happens when the party of talk radio nominates a “reality” TV star. This is classic Rush Limbaugh. Make up whatever ridiculous bullshit it takes to keep people listenening through the next commercial break for gold futures and memory pills. Go too far. Get called on it. “Oh I was just joking.” Why can’t you take a joke?
Trump’s captive audience of policemen sitting behind him got the joke, but not their superiors.
The audience loved his remarks as they nearly always do which is all the encouragement Trump needs.
Imagine how differently it all would have went had he been resoundingly booed?
So funny, so funny. Just a joke.
The head of the DEA and every other policing organization in America just turned white with fear of Trump inspired abuse turning into extremely costly budget busting lawsuits.
