NEW: The Trump admin certainly put on a show last week about changing tactics in Minnesota after ICE agents killed Alex Pretti, a 37-year-old VA nurse.

Trump even suggested it's time for "a softer touch."

So the White House "staffer" who just posted the most racist post in the history of the digital-age American presidency is going to be named and *fired*, right?

Right?

Right?

And media will follow up on this? Because there *definitely was* a "staffer" behind this misconduct?

Canada opened a consulate in Nuuk on Friday, signaling support for Greenlanders rattled by President Donald Trump’s sovereignty threats while trying to avoid a fight with Washington.

The mission was in motion well before Trump’s saber-rattling.
