White House, President Trump Double Down on MS-13 Gang Remarks

”I’m referring — and you know I’m referring — to the MS-13 gangs that are coming in. I was talking about the MS-13. If you look a little bit further on in the tape you’ll see that. So I’m actually surprised that you’re asking this question ’cause most people got it right.”

Controversies Surrounding “Animals” Remark and MS-13

The majority of President Trump’s remarks turn out to be controversial in one form or another. Some Americans have attributed this dichotomy to the inherently divisive political climate. Others have faulted extreme criticism of the President; many Trump supporters have referred to this as ‘Trump Derangement Syndrome.’

Many conservatives and Trump supporters are also pushing back against Americans who censured the President’s aforesaid comments. Others have questioned whether the media dislikes the President more than they dislike the crimes committed by MS-13 gang members.
