Melania in Texas: They put up a sign that says "Acts of Kindness"

It looks like a conference table set up with a sign that says "Act of Kindness" in the background.

I hope I am wrong and that she is going to make a statement about a commitment to reunification.

But this seems like nothing more than a gross photo op and another example of Trumpian gaslighting.

It is a Lutheran church center for migrant children. It is contracted by HHS and the officials are talking about what a great place it is.

Nice try, but we've already seen the tents and cages.

This is infuriating. This is a sham.

These people talking are how happy the kids are, how they have nothing to worry about, just how great their new home is.

I swear this is as if these people took a page out of the propaganda handbook from the Soviet Union.

DISGUSTING!

First Lady Melania Trump has arrived at a detention center in Texas housing immigrant children separated from their parents at the U.S.-Mexico border.

"First Lady Melania Trump has arrived in Texas to take part in briefings and tours at a nonprofit social services center for children who have entered the United States illegally and a customs and border patrol processing center," the White House's Office of the First Lady said in a statement. "Her goals are to thank law enforcement and social services providers for their hard work, lend support and hear more on how the administration can build upon the already existing efforts to reunite children with their families."

Trump first spoke out against separation at the border on Sunday, saying that she "hates" seeing children taken away from their parents.

Wednesday, President Trump signed an executive order ending the policy of separating immigrant families who cross the border illegally. Under the administration's zero-tolerance policy, all adults caught illegally crossing the border are to be prosecuted. While adults await legal processing and prosecution, their children are put in the custody of a division of the Health and Human Services Department.

I wish CBS had followed that quote with a comment about how there are no existing efforts.

that she wore to hurricane sites?
Hope she brings some paper towels to throw to the babies.

We are indeed living in the twilight zone.

Some man is telling her how glad he is for her visit.

Oh my God! "She's there to listen and learn more."

I can't believe I haven't thrown the TV out the window.

to be the only First Lady ever to go Full Monty.
Then I’d ask about her NDA and how ironclad it is and how much money she makes if stays married thru his Presidency.
Then I’d ask if she thinks Stormy is hotter than her.
