If you stopped at the headline, you would think he was talking about all immigrants, rather than criminal illegal aliens. Pretty dishonest.
Trump Refers To Immigrants As ‘Animals.’ Again.
The president also asked the attorney general to charge the mayor of Oakland with obstruction of justice for warning residents about planned immigration arrests.

WASHINGTON ― President Donald Trump called on the Department of Justice to prosecute a political opponent and called immigrants “animals” during a roundtable with California leaders on Wednesday.
“We’re taking people out of the country. You wouldn’t believe how bad these people are,” he said. “These aren’t people. These are animals.”
The livestreamed roundtable at the White House centered on so-called sanctuary policies, which limit local law enforcement cooperation with federal deportation efforts. His dehumanizing comments about immigrants weren’t new, nor was his attack on a Democratic politician. The most remarkable thing about both of them was that in the Trump era, reducing a group of people to subhuman and threatening to incarcerate another politician were scarcely notable.
Trump singled out Oakland Mayor Libby Schaaf, a Democrat who was not among the officials in attendance. She made national headlines in February when she warned residents on television before a targeted operation that she heard there would be arrests in the area by Immigration and Customs Enforcement.
ICE acting Director Thomas Homan, who previously called for the government to prosecute local officials over sanctuary policies, said she had helped as many as 800 people get away. (The San Francisco ICE spokesman resigned afterward, criticizing the agency for making what he called a misleading claim, since no operation nets all its targets.) The White House said at the time that the Department of Justice was reviewing her actions, but nothing has come of it.
Trump said Wednesday that he still wants the Department of Justice to prosecute Schaaf.
Addressing Attorney General Jeff Sessions and alluding to speculation about obstruction of justice charges against himself, Trump said, “You talk about obstruction of justice, I would recommend that you look into obstruction of justice for the mayor of Oakland, California, Jeff.”
Sessions did not react, according to a report from the room.
Trump is leading a crackdown on unauthorized immigration at the U.S.-Mexico border that will refer adults apprehended after illegal entry for criminal prosecution, even if that means splitting up families and jailing asylum seekers. He is seeking legal changes that would make it easier to turn away or indefinitely detain asylum seekers and children.
You talk about obstruction of justice, I would recommend that you look into obstruction of justice for the mayor of Oakland, California.
President Donald Trump
Meanwhile, he is continuing to push for more deportations from the country, including through increased local law enforcement involvement with ICE, even though local officials say that would be counterproductive to other policing efforts.
Trump framed the deportation issue around criminals, as he often does, although ICE arrests increasingly affect people who have not been convicted of crimes.
For him to call immigrants animals is nothing new. In 2015, he used the word twice in an interview with The Washington Post, referring to an undocumented immigrant who had been arrested for fatally shooting a woman in San Francisco. (The man’s attorneys said the shooting was unintentional, and he was acquitted.)
Last July in Ohio, Trump said “criminal aliens” were “animals” and then made a gruesome claim that they are murdering “young, beautiful” girls. Later that month, he said in New York that MS-13 “thugs” had “transformed peaceful parks and beautiful quiet neighborhoods into bloodstained killing fields” and “they are animals.”
He referred to a New York City terrorism suspect, a legal permanent resident who came to the U.S. on a diversity visa, as an “animal” in November.
In February, Trump referred to certain immigrants as “animals” who want people to suffer, and he accused Democrats of wanting to protect murderers. “I can’t get the Democrats ― and nobody has been able to for years ― to approve common-sense measures that, when we catch these animal killers, we can lock them up and throw away the keys.”
Referring to subgroups as animals has been used to justify violence, including by Nazis during the Holocaust and by Hutu perpetrators of the Rwandan genocide. Black people have been compared to animals throughout history and were treated like them through slavery and violence. Animal metaphors have similarly been used by conquerors and colonialists to dehumanize indigenous populations.

Exactly, the press is intentionally misleading people again. He was directly addressing MS13, not immigrants as a whole.

They got caught but a lot seem to be doubling down on defense of MS 13 now in their attempts at trying to make Trump look bad. Pretty disgusting what is going on right now when you so hate a president to the point that you defend trash.

This seems to confirm a post I mad the other day.....
When you are a liberal the policies, people, organizations, and countries that you end up taking sides with are really interesting.
It's amazing what you find yourself making excuses for.

This is who liberals are siding with....North Korea, MS-13, Hamas.
It's been like this for a long time and I'm just glad that their hatred for Trump has gotten them to admit it.

Trump is a prolific liar, I wont argue that. BUT.... this crap the left/media is pulling is disgraceful and you should be decrying it at the top of your lungs. If we are all about truth, then we can't pretend that he wasn't talking about the MS13 and was talking about the average immigrant. In fact, if you want to cry foul, him labeling the MS 13 animals is an insult to animals. He shouldn't be lumping those murderous soulless criminals in with predators that hunt for food to survive.

The people that hate Trump most....are bullshitters...because he's a king among them...lawyers, politicians, billionaires, pundits, entertainment types, etc. They can't hang and are seething while he has a great time.

MS-13 suspect who allegedly killed man, burned body entered US as 'unaccompanied alien child'
Fox News ^ | May 24, 2018 | Nicole Darrah

Walker County, Texas, officials issued a warrant for Platero-Rodriguez's arrest for homicide by firearm in the death of a man in the Houston area earlier this year.
The suspected gang member was found with a 9 mm pistol, which the Berkeley County Sheriff's Office said Wednesday could have been the weapon used in the Texas murder.
Officials said the suspect killed the man, put his body in the trunk of the vehicle and poured gasoline on it before setting the vehicle on fire. He then apparently fled to South Carolina.
U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) told Fox News that Platero-Rodriguez, through a loophole, was able to enter the country as an unaccompanied alien child (UAC) — an illegal immigrant under the age of 18 who's entered the country

Maybe when Trump contradicts himself in videos of his speeches, he is not lying, he's just being forgetful and absent minded or he cannot make up his mind. ::)

Certainly a possibility. I would hate to think people aren't open to the idea he is senile

Or that having a gigantic ego like he does, makes people crazy. I'm not fond of the term 'senile' for obvious reasons. :D

I don't think he is senile, I think he is a pathological liar. I'm not sure which is worse though
