Democrats, the media, and other anti-Trump voices have recently focused their attention towards President Trump’s immigration policies, including his plans to deport “millions” of illegal aliens in coming weeks.
While the president’s detractors have reacted to the news with increasing outrage, journalist Piers Morgan recently pointed out to the “shrieking Trump haters” that former President Barack Obama “deported THREE MILLION immigrants.”
Morgan also noted that Obama deported illegal aliens “at a far faster rate than Trump,” adding, “Yet none of you cared.”
My regular reminder to shrieking Trump-haters: Obama deported THREE MILLION immigrants – at a far faster rate than Trump.
Yet none of you cared.— Piers Morgan (@piersmorgan) June 22, 2019
Social media commenters largely agreed, with many pointing lambasting the media for their coverage of Trump’s efforts to address the growing migration crisis at the US-Mexico border, and for their hypocrisy in failing to be “outraged” by Obama’s similar actions.
The left don’t really care about what’s being done; they only care about who’s doing it.

They don’t care because they think Obama was a great president but was average at best.

Correct; I care!!@realDonaldTrump has had the worst time in the media and politically loving @HillaryClinton fanatics, which, ironically, will get Mr Trump re-elected. 🇬🇧💙🇺🇸

This intellectually dishonest thinking and bias against Trump is why Trump is coming back in 2020. Folks have to be lucid and honest with the facts.
