Okay. So as always, President Trump is an exercise in contradiction.

This is a man who contains multitudes.

Multitudes. So we've been using this model since all the way back in 2015. And it's called the

Good Trump, Bad Trump model. In fact, we even had a theme song for Good Trump, Bad Trump. And I think,

is it time, guys? Should we bring back Good Trump, Bad Trump? I think the time has come. A little bit of our

theme song, please.

Good Trump, Bad Trump, which one will we get to? come. A little bit of our theme song, please.

Good Trump, bad Trump, which one will begin today? And now, because the president of the United States means that the news cycle is approximately 32 seconds long, we get plenty of both

You know, when they're doing that, you don't really notice them too much. But then when they're bad, then you really notice them a lot. Well, the same thing is true of president. So let's talk about some of the good stuff that President Trump has been doing.

So finally, at long last, the Trump administration on Wednesday unveiled the regulation to allow it to

indefinitely detain migrant families who illegally cross the border. Now, I am not saying it is wonderful

to detain people who cross the border. I am saying it is wonderful that we are changing the rules that created the necessity for family

separation.

So basically, the choice that was provided under law to the Trump administration, thanks to

the so-called Flores settlement in 1997 as amended by Obama administration regulations in 2015,

the rules stated that if somebody came across the border with a family

member, with a young child, the child could not be kept in custody with the parents for more
