Trump’s Agenda is:

1. Leveraging politics to exponentially increase his net worth since 2016, which he has accomplished.

2. Deporting migrants who don’t work for Republican-owned businesses.

3. Cutting taxes & regs for billionaires.

4. Getting revenge on his enemies.

"Israel’s push to normalise the mass killing of journalists threatens not just Palestinian media workers. If such behaviour in war zones is normalised, then no journalist, no matter what passport they carry, would be safe."
