Many themes run through the Trump administration
Incompetence, lawlessness and dishonesty-to name a few
But perhaps the most prevalent is their utter lack of empathy
It explains so many of their horrific acts
Like trying to cut Medicaid by $880 billion

This is an obvious point, but cannot overstated. There is an enormous difference between deporting someone - where they get off a plane as a free citizen in their home country AND FUNNELING THEM INTO A BRUTAL PRISON FROM WHICH THEY HAVE NO CHANCE OF EVER EMERGING!!!
