Trump is truly TACO 🌮 even in his immigration policies.

Trump’s recent flip flops on his positions on farms, restaurants, and hotels shows how easily he is manipulated.

Suspect in Minnesota Shooting Linked to Security Company, Evangelical Ministry
The alleged shooter is a 57-year-old white male; according to his ministry's website, he “sought out militant Islamists in order to share the gospel and tell them that violence wasn't the answer.”
