From Slate: "We witnessed a ramping up and coordinated defense of a Trump administration policy of separating families seeking asylum. That policy is resulting in children being warehoused in cages and ripped away from their parents, as their mothers are told they are bathing."

From The Washington Post: "When the most optimistic scenario is that the president doesn't really believe what he's tweeting, we have ample reason to doubt his competence and his motivation."

From NBC News: "The same president who refused to sign on to the G-7 joint statement with America's closest allies signed on to an agreement with North Korea's autocratic leader just days later."
