I would think people would like to give mother and daughter privacy and let them meet alone. The little girl is not talking. I cannot imagine how traumatized she must be. Why does everything these days have to be a Reality TV Show? Just because Trump treats everything that way, does everyone else need to follow his pattern? Let them meet alone and then let the mother come out and speak to the press if need be. The little girl must have a deep distrust of all Americans by now

I guess the American people are such sheep that if they do not see it on TV, then it did not happen.

(Or, if they are Fox News viewers and they happen to see it, it is just paid actors and it really did not happen.)

I am with you about hating this guy! I used to try to convince myself that people are not inherently evil but then Dick Cheney came along. However, Trump's narcissism, racism, and lack of empathy makes him a billion times worse!
