I believe I was just wondering about that myself. But Mr. Kenney is about to be slam tweeted from the Winter White House when this goes from NBC to CNN and Fox.Philadelphia Mayor Jim Kenney unleashed an insult-laden tirade against President Donald Trump on Wednesday, denouncing the Trump administration's decision to end protections for Haitians and other immigrants living in the United States.
[...]
"I'm just beside myself with sadness because our president is a bully, our president is a punk, and he just doesn't get it."
"I don't know where he was raised, but his family didn't do a good job raising that guy," Kenney said.

Not to mention to the deportees.Kenney made the remarks after calling on the Trump Administration to reverse recent decisions to end Temporary Protective Status for Haitians, Sudanese, and Nicaraguans. Hondurans are still awaiting a decision on their status.
Often abbreviated as TPS, the program was created in 1990 and currently allows for 435,000 people from nine countries affected by natural disasters or war to live and work in the United States.

Kenney said the decisions are "simply un-American." He said deporting these immigrants will be a detrement to the local economy.
I don't think he's the reason - I think he's the result. But I'll vote for him to get out.The mayor also questioned what would happen to TPS immigrant children, who were born in the U.S. and thus are citizens.
"This country used to be a country of compassion and empathy and it is now a country of anger and divisiveness and Donald Trump is the reason why we've gotten where we are," Kenney said adding that Trump should "get out" of the U.S.
Kenney comments video here if you want to watch. You can tell he's sad and sickened; it's a very downbeat speech. At the end he tells his audience, "Let's just stick together and keep helping each other out, regardless of what happens in Washington."
