President Trump on Saturday defended his administration for treating migrant children detained at the border "much better" than former President Obama's administration, amid controversy over immigration policies that have separated thousands of children from their parents.
"We do a much better job while at the same time maintaining a MUCH stronger Border! Mainstream Fake Media hates this story," he tweeted.
Trump also referred to the conservative aggregation site The Drudge Report, which has previously linked to reports and photos taken of detainment facilities during the Obama administration.
The headline did not appear on The Drudge Report on Saturday morning.
Trump this week ended a controversial practice that separated migrant children and detained them separately from their parents when families were caught crossing the U.S.-Mexico border illegally. The detainment facilities were harshly criticized by some as "internment camps" and prisons.
Last month, a number of journalists and Democrats posted critical tweets linking to photos of detention centers at the border that had been taken in 2014, during the Obama administration. Trump at the time blasted social media users who he said were trying to make his administration “look bad.”

We should not have to deal with kids, period. Turn them around at the border.
Declare a National Emergency...Put National Guard all over the border...Anyone crossing will be sent back no questions asked...Turn their ass around right where they crossed and if they swam across, make them swim back...
Once again Trump defends himself with just a tweet. This won’t do! The left is using Time magazine, cable TV, GOPe stooges, etc. Mr. Trump, address the nation, and make your case in front of the cameras.
No he should send my man Ted down there with some Team USA World Cup soccer balls!
When all this was going on at the border when Obama was president, why were the liberals not in an uproar over this?
Why was Rachel Maddow not crying on TV over this when her boy was president?
In fact, why is it, that now, in June 2018, the liberals decided to push this issue at this time? Why didn’t they push the issue in the Obama years, or even early in the Trump administration? why did they decide to spring it on us right now?
Historically, this "just wasn't done."
And no doubt the Democrats and their media minions, having no previous experience, are flummoxed in dealing with it.
Because IG report.
I guess some folks either forget,or pretend not to notice what a total putz Obama was/is in comparison or even considered by his own actions.
