In a 2024 paper criticizing the 'billion-dollar-disasters' database, Roger Pielke Jr. published analysis that is best described as a Russian-doll of errors.

I’m wondering, which reporters or media is there?
Reporter: How long does your admin plan to pause asylum?
Trump: A long time. We don’t want them. We don’t want those people. You understand that? You know why? Because many of them are no good.
