3 w. ago The Guardian view on Trump and children: protect the innocent from this dark vision of the US soul | Editorial

Republicans say they want more babies, but seek to strip away healthcare and food support, undermine migrant families and remove labour protections for the young“There can be no keener revelation of a society’s soul than the way in which it treats its children,” Nelson Mandela observed 30 years ago. Though the ugly heart of the Trump administration has hardly been hidden, there is an especially grotesque contrast between its vaunted family values and its treatment of the young.On the campaign trail, Donald Trump declared: “I want a baby boom.” JD Vance, his vice-president, says he wants “more happy children in our country”.
