Trump just blew up at reporters and blamed Obama for his own crisis in unhinged Oval Office rant

A bizarre scene unfolded this morning in the Oval Office when a riotous press corps, demanding some kind of response from the President in regards to yesterday’s shocking news that he was attempting to restart the horrifying child separation program that split thousands of families apart and inflicted lasting psychological trauma on innocent young children.

When ABC News’ Jon Karl challenged him on whether or not he was really trying to go back to putting children in cages, left to the mercy of predatory ICE agents or their lickspittle contractors, the president erupted in a furious rant and attempted to blame President Obama for the policy that he implemented, arguing that it was actually him that stopped the policy in the first place.

“Obama separated those children,” said Trump in a disturbingly cold and emotionless tone. “Those cages that were shown, I think they were very inappropriate. They were built by President Obama’s administration, not by Trump. President Obama had child separation, take a look…The press knows it, you know it, we all know it. I’m the one that stopped it.”

While it’s true that the first for-profit immigrant concentration camps were built under  President Obama’s administration, for which he should rightly be criticized, the child separation policy is definitely a spitefully cruel invention that could only be implemented by a remorseless, psychotic monster like Donald Trump.

The president is not only a disgusting coward for refusing to accept responsibility for his actions, he’s so delusional that he wants to take credit for solving crises of his own invention.

This is a man beyond reason and beyond feeling, a man with no regard for the law, for morality, for the truth and it’s hard to shake the feeling that he’s still teetering on the edge of his madness.

God help us all when he falls into the abyss.
