Immigrants make up a significant proportion of all the country's doctors. New policies are making it harder and less appealing for foreign-born physicians to come to the U.S.
'Nobody wants to come': What if the U.S. can no longer attract immigrant physicians?

When you make up the most ridiculous cover story, present it as fact with a straight face, and then proceed to murder innocent people, then anything goes

Actually you do have to embarrass your guest who is a murderer.
Trump suggests Khashoggi had it coming: "You're mentioning someone that was extremely controversial. A lot of people didn't like that gentleman that you're talking about. Whether you like him or didn't like him, things happen. But he knew nothing about it. You don't have to embarrass our guest."

In recent months, the Justice Department has filed charges under 18 USC 111 against more than a hundred immigrants, anti-ICE protestors, and random passers-by—accusing them of "assaulting, resisting, or impeding" federal officers
The Administration’s Favorite Statute
Federal prosecutors have charged more than 100 people with Section 111 violations. Was their crime anything more than opposing Trump’s immigration policies?

Sargeant: Are you out of your mind? It was way more than pinups

Andrews: Right, we all agree she should have won
