Trump described his guests as “angel moms,” his term for women whose children were murdered by illegal immigrants.
He then ran through his familiar statements about illegal immigrants and crime and the order.
Then claimed that the Congo had dumped its prisoners into the US.
“ They emptied the prisons of the Congo into the area of the southern border, and they told them to just walk in, because stupid Americans are going to accept you beautifully.
