Some people always insist that everything Trump does is a distraction from something else, which can be quite irritating.

EVERYONE needs to be brought out of that El Salvadorian hell hole
they were ALL wrongfully deported.
I mean it's good to focus on 'And this guy was here legally and not ever a gang member AND they're Venezuelan'
but NO ONE should've been sent there

Trump played golf as the American economy struggled. However, he reassured everyone with a post stating, "only the weak will fail."
Mark Kelly: "This is not surprising. Here's a guy who told Americans to inject bleach into their bodies, who sent a mob to Capitol Hill. And now I think it's fair to say he stands out as singlehandedly destroying more wealth with his bad decisions than anybody else who has ever lived on this planet"

Remember the issue of incarcerated individuals being exploited for labor in for-profit prisons. Also, who's willing to bet that debtor's prisons might make a comeback in the U.S.?
i have been joking that their plan is for your kids to grow up to work in a textile mill but they are serious
MacCALLUM: Will American workers make shirts and garments for the same--? Obviously the labor costs are so much cheaper overseas in those places
