But this can’t be. I thought Trump hated Muslims, per the Left?

I’m guessing these people are the scapegoats that Hillary and Obama left behind to take the blame for the Clinton Foundation Easy Adoption Service. That is why Obama twied willy willy hawd to get them fwee, but just couldn’t manage to make any progress.

So very true. It is so refreshing to have a real masculine male who loves women and children in the White House again. It is what is missing in the European countries which have been so emasculated by the socialist indoctrination centers which embed dependency and self-hate, if white and Christian and male especially.

Obama, as a malignant narcissist, lacks any capacity for empathy.

President Trump, despite what the Left would have you believe, is not a narcissist. He has a tremendous capacity for empathy and it drives much of what he does.

This is what happens when his negotiating skills and empathy converge and it’s all good.
