Epic troll from POTUS. 🆒 I found it very amusing, but I’m sure the regulars of SDMB will be pissed. “A sad day for the Democrats, Kirsten Gillibrand has dropped out of the Presidential Primary. I’m glad they never found out that she was the one I was really afraid of!” Donald Trump > ---

[The Trump Administration Now Wants to Deport Children With Cancer](https://www.rollingstone.com/politics/politics-news/trump-administration-deportation-children-medical-care-878160/) \*The administration quietly eliminated a program that allowed severely ill undocumented immigrants and their families to remain in the United States for medical care \* > [@](#): > > In August alone, the Trump administration laid out plans to make it more difficult for legal immigrants to use social services, eliminate limits on how long families can be detained at the border, and stop providing flu vaccines to migrants held in border detention facilities. The administration was proud enough of these efforts to announce them publicly, but there was one move so despicable that they apparently felt it would be best to roll it out quietly. > > But there was one move so ugly that the Trump administration, apparently, felt it would be best to roll it out quietly. On August 7th, the U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) quietly eliminated a medical deferred action program that allowed severely ill undocumented immigrants and their families to remain in the United States to receive potentially lifesaving treatment. The decision to axe the policy was not announced publicly. Instead, families with pending applications were notified through letters from immigration officials informing them they have 33 days to leave the country or risk facing deportation. USCIS confirmed this week that it was ending the program. > > “This is a new low,” Sen. Ed Markey (D-Mass.) told the Associated Press, which reported the policy change on Sunday along with Boston’s NPR affiliate, WBUR. “Donald Trump is literally deporting kids with cancer.” > > Cancer is only one of the conditions for which an undocumented immigrant or their family typically request deferred action. Others include HIV, cerebral palsy, leukemia, muscular dystrophy, and epilepsy. The USCIS has said that is receives around 1,000 deferred action requests per year. Well, we know the Statue of Liberty poem was discarded long ago. I can just picture Stephen Miller tapping his fingertips together and saying “Excellent!” ---

Trump has cancelled his trip to Poland to observe the 80th anniversary of the start of WWII, so he can stay home and monitor Hurricane Dorian. The first time he’s shown any interest in natural disasters – the fact that it’s bearing down on his property is purely a coincidence. And of course he could “monitor” just as easily from Poland. ---

Trump supposedly doesn’t like to travel internationally unless the host country throws him a big gala. He didn’t want to go to the G-7 meeting to actually work with other world leaders and I’m sure has no interest in going to Poland. He’s probably a fan of the Nazi invasion of Poland–“greatest use of blitzkrieg in history!” It would be poetic justice if his properties got hammered, though. ---

If Mar-a-Lago does get hammered, he’ll be in a no-win situation if Floridians, especially Puertoriquenos, are not already energized against him (I assume those who vote vote against him already, but some might not bother yet.) If he pours money into Florida, the contrast between helping his own property recover versus the forthright unwillingness to do so for Puerto Rico will be unavoidable. But if he _doesn’t_ provide a lot of relief for Florida, then he’ll be ignoring Florida. ---
