More shenanigans from Trump this morning during a speech to law enforcement officers, where he basically endorsed police brutality.

He praised the "rough" officers of ICE and suggested that police shouldn't protect the heads of suspects when they're arrested.

"When you see these thugs thrown into the back of a paddy wagon. You see them thrown in, rough. I said, 'Please don't be too nice,' " Trump said, mentioning observing the prisoner's heads being shielded. "I said, 'You can take the hand away.' "

The President also noted his longstanding campaign pledge to build a wall along the US border with Mexico.

"We're going to secure our border against illegal entry and we will build the wall, that I can tell you," Trump said, noting that the House on Thursday advanced $1.6 billion for the first wave of construction, though that still has to pass the Senate. "The wall is vital, and vital as a tool for ending the humanitarian disaster brought, and really brought on by drug smugglers and new words we haven't heard too much of, human traffickers."
