Democrats, the mainstream media, and left-wing reporters are twisting President Trump’s words in calling MS-13 illegal alien gang members “animals.” During a roundtable discussion of California’s sanctuary state laws, Fresno Sheriff Margaret Mims mentioned to Trump the difficulty of working with the Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agency to notify them of an illegal alien MS-13 gang member.
In response, Trump called the MS-13 gang members “animals,” as he’s done in the past MIMS: There could be an MS-13 gang member, I know about, if they don’t reach a threshold, I cannot tell ICE about them. [Emphasis added]
TRUMP: We have people coming into the country — they’re trying to come in, we’re stopping a lot of them — but we’re taking out of the country. You wouldn’t believe how bad these people are. These aren’t people. These are animals. And we’re taking them out of the country at a level and at a rate that’s never happened before. And because of the weak laws, they come in fast, we get them, we release them, we get them again, we bring them out. It’s crazy. The dumbest laws, as I said before, the dumbest laws on immigration in the world. So we’re going to take care of it. We’ll get it done. [Emphasis added]
Following the statement by Trump, the Daily Beast published a headline that claimed the president was referring to “some deported immigrants” when he called MS-13 gang members “animals.”
Neoconservative Washington Post columnist Jennifer Rubin attacked Trump’s Evangelical supporters, posting a link to a report by The Hill which claimed the president called all illegal aliens “animals.”

If you disagree, offer to let them into your own home.
They seem to be trying pretty hard to be. Actually that’s a slam on animals, because most animals aren’t that bad.
From the picture, he’s CLEARLY just one MCAT away from being an MD (Medical Doctor).
...I can see why they’re angry at Trump.
The Sicilian Mafia would eat these guys for breakfast before noon.
Not today’s Italian-American Mafia, but the Sicilian Mafia definitely would.
No, ANIMALS should be outraged at the comparison.
If you stand up for the poor MS13, you might as well stand up for Jeffrey Daumer, Charlie Manson, etc.
This is not new phraseology; the Left just has to search for a new outrage daily to deflect from Trump’s success.
Assignment for the MSM: Prove that MS-13 are not animals. Discuss.
this is great! i can’t wait to see Nancy Pelosi and the Dem Party run as the pro-MS-13 “not-animals” Gang Party!
it’s really mind-blowing how Trump is living rent-free in the Dem Party’s mind to the point that they automatically react against everything he says, not matter how insane it makes them look. Trump has really done a number on them ...
Yeah, Donald. This really is quite unfair to animals. Apologies are due to every zoo.
The MSM is a greater threat to the Country than MS-13.
And you can thank Comcast for the contempt it shoves in your face every... damn... day.
Ever notice how many Sheriffs, AGs, Police Chiefs are now women or minorities ?
I disagree - that’s an insult to animals -
Ever notice how many Sheriffs, AGs, Police Chiefs are women or minorities ?
Let’s see....one of the most violent drug gangs in both the US as well as Latin America which is responsible for all kinds of heinous crimes including torture, murder, etc etc.
How DARE Trump call them animals. Huff Huff Huff. We’re so offended! Go ahead and run with that MSM.
Animals that need to be put down.
When is ‘open season’ Mr. President ? Give us the green light , with no fears of prosecution , and we will rid our country of this blight very quickly . They do not deserve judicial process , they deserve a bullet . Give us the green light sir .
1. Everyone of the guys in the back of that truck should just be shot in the head and either left in the desert or tossed in the ocean, for the animals to eat.
2. Dem’s and Media outraged...really? The same people that think a terrorist getting a towel held over his face and doused with water is torture are mad that the President called MS-13, animals...really?

Yeah, nothing but of unjustly accused choir boys. Amazing, the people the Left and Media align themselves with.
I don’t think the people Trump paints as enemies are good, but at the same time, I don’t think Trump is truly Christian or helping people come to Christ or making America a more Christian place to live. I’m beginning to think he is the caricature opportunist some said he was, and I was a fool to support him.
I haven’t posted since he won. Having a child born with a chronic illness right after his election has made me view everything he does under a completely different lens. I cannot raise my children to act like this man. I have been focusing on my family and disengaged from politics lately, but stuff like this, dehumanizing language, is really just getting to be too much for me. I would never want to hear my own children utter the things he says.
I think I am done. I am really glad we aren’t living under President Hillary, but I feel like Trump is dooming me to lifetime of Hillarys after this. He is a terrible person to have at the top claiming to represent Christian values.
Nothing is good right now, and the government is as useless as ever, but I am stricken with how terribly accurate everyone who assumed the worst from Trump has turned out to be right. I’m going to have to explain what a porn star is to my kid when she turns 3, because of this President.
I owe Ted Cruz supporters a huge apology. You were all right. And now he kisses the ring of this person New York vomited onto all of us, so at the same time, you’re still wrong. I guess that gives me some comfort.
I am lost in the woods and focused on building my own fire right now. I can’t take this.
I live on eight acres outside of the city. I have game animals on my land of which we harvest a few in strict accordance of the Texas Game and Wildlife Commission rules. They are the good guys and real hunters are their friend.
I do have vermin on my land. I kill them. Pigs are not on my land yet. They are but a few miles away. When they come to my land I will kill them. Hopefully it will be young pigs as they are good to eat. Old sows and big bore male pigs taste like hell. Just kill them and let buzzards feast.
ps
Deer and turkey taste great when prepared properly.
