...that would be a tacit admission that he's not only responsible, but actually the one with his tiny hands on the controls, not the fictional law he's been lying about.

The power of groups are the only power we have right now. Don't believe a word of this slacker.

...the entire cabal is going to step out on this one without any cover, for all the world to see.

There's no chance that even a full mea culpa is going to put out this fire he started. Conditions must be horrendous, and the political ground must be magma hot for them to even consider reversing or giving way today. I'd bet we're going to see some devastating reports about conditions at the internment camps right on the heels of whatever they're trying to squirm out from under with this faux fix, this phony reversal.

6. If he does, he'd talk about the "terrible Democrat law" he is now rescinding

because he's such a great humanitarian, of course leaving Nielsen, Sessions and the other defenders of the policy to twist in the wind.

15. The rest of the media will do plenty to promote false narratives, as well.

And since most people don't connect policy with those responsible for said policy, Trump and Republicans could easily come out of this just fine.

Release the children and let the press, congress, and humanitarian organizations in to inspect what's really been going on.

If the parents need retrieved from where they went, so be it. They need to reunite child/parent

14. Keep Reminding People That HE INSISTED HE COULDN'T DO THIS FOR WEEKS

So while all those children sat in cages terrified, this asshole insisted there was nothing he could do. And then waited several weeks to do something he insisted he couldn't do. Don't let people forget. And don't let the media portray him as some kind of hero.
