"Parents" was allegedly the word that he used. Not that the words he uses, best though they might be, necessarily mean the same to him as to anyone else.

That is probably in her upcoming book.
Emoticon and contraction free since... quite a while ago.
In fairness I am prepared to believe that Trump may have misspoke and used the word "parents" when meaning "relatives". He is, as we know, not exactly the worlds best communicator. I am also prepared to believe that he thinks the Korean War and the Vietnam War were the same event.
He is currently blaming "Democrats" for the situation on the border. Bet theres some interesting conversations going on "at home" right now.

I could blame them as well. If they had not lost the election all this might not be happening.

So 1953 was 65 years ago. Assuming 18 years old to be in the armed forces, and assuming 18 years old to start having children, any parents involved would be, at minimum, 101 years old. How many of those sets of parents do you think would be begging Trump to return their kids' remains? I'd be willing to be the answer is none.
Parents probably not many, though there might be one or two, but relatives in general? probably enough.
I would be shocked if any of those relatives were still longing for the return of familial remains after 65 years. It's possible, I suppose, but in large numbers? I don't buy it. Trump is manufacturing issues that he can claim to have solved.

I don't think there are (m)any Trump supporters on here, but watch out for making claims like that on the wider internet it's not entirely true and the commonly circulated "caged kids" image is from 2014: https://www.snopes.com/fact-check/child ... tion-camp/
It adds fuel to the narrative that The Leftists make things up or use things from the Obama administration to criticise the Trump one, use exaggerated descriptions to conjure images of the Nazis etc. It strengthens their cause as the Trump supporting crowd absolutely revel in the idea of libs spreading lies/exaggerations (if unwittingly) via forms of media.
Whilst I think the term "concentration camp" in the normally-used modern context (i.e. a place where an ethnic group is taken to and exterminated) is indeed an exaggeration (but also feeling that the current administrations policy is inhumane), the historical definition sums up the current situation pretty well (quote from Wikipedia):
"The American Heritage Dictionary defines the term concentration camp as: 'A camp where persons are confined, usually without hearings and typically under harsh conditions, often as a result of their membership in a group the government has identified as a suspect.' "
In other news, Trump has announced the formation of a "Space Force" to ensue the US "domination of space". Has someone been letting him play with his toys unsupervised again?
In May of 2018, under the direction of Attorney General Jeff Sessions, the U.S. acted in accordance with a 2016 Ninth U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals decision which ruled that child migrants who came to the border with parents and were held in custody must be released. However, the decision did not state parents must be released and thus the children are held in custody until they can be placed with extended family members. US officials began forcibly separating children and parents arriving at the US border. This included some seeking asylum from violence in their home countries, however, since up to 11,000 children are brought in to the U.S. each year by child sex traffickers, the identities are verified before release to extended family custody. Under this policy, nearly 2000 children were taken from their parents and placed in “detention centers.” [189] These centers, have been described by those in opposition to the policy as “concentration camps” [190]. The centers had previously been cited by Texas officials for more than 150 health violations. [191]

Can they send him ahead of the Force to do the recognition of the area. He could start with Mars.
PFVA, your quote text for me is a little messed up, just so you know.
What did the Martians ever do to deserve him? (other than, y'know, melt Woking off the face of the Earth and ensure that prog rock musicals get re-released every year... ).
