Apparently Donald Trump has decided that if you lie often enough, people will believe it.  He was at it again this morning with this fabrication:

The separation of families caught crossing the border has nothing to do with legislation.  It’s Trump’s policy.  It’s not “Border Security laws.”  Own it, Mr. President.

The Trump administration is doing this to discourage families from coming to America.  That’s it, plain and simple.
