He's looting the U.S. Treasury, people. Most crooked dictators find covert ways to get rich. Trump intends to simply order his government to transfer money into his bank account.
Trump on his multiple suits against the federal government: "I'm supposed to work out a settlement with myself ... We could make it a substantial amount, nobody would care, because it's gonna go to numerous, very good charities."

Speaking of children not being able to walk to school, ICE agents are snatching kids off the streets of Minneapolis (and St. Paul!) and parents are having to form patrols to guard against kids getting abducted at pick-up and drop-off.
Gov. Landry: "I like to ask Democrats if they like their communities to be dangerous or safe. Do they want their children to be able to walk to school or do they want to worry if they send them on the sidewalks, that unfortunate violent things are going to happen to them?"

ANDREW SCHULZ (who helped Trump win): “ICE murdered a citizen and they called him a domestic terrorist— I see them trying to spin it, it’s fucking disgusting… only 5% of who they deport are violent criminals. Shut the f*ck up about deporting pedophiles when you won’t even release the Epstein files.”

"Fico seemed to be 'traumatized' by his encounter with Trump, one of the European diplomats said. Fico characterized Trump as being 'out of his mind,' a diplomat said, using the words briefed to them by their leader, who was directly involved in the conversation."
Slovak PM Robert Fico was left shocked by Donald Trump’s state of mind after a recent meeting with him, he told his European counterparts at a summit last week, according to five diplomats briefed on the conversation.

Senator Paul is a very effective communicator about this: "Nobody with any objectivity believes" Alex Pretti was assaulting the officers.
Note: Noem's DHS (via Tricia McLaughlin) is still publicly asserting the opposite about Pretti (citing federal law on assaulting, using force against agents).

Rand Paul: "When people watch that video and the government tells them, 'Well, he was assaulting the police officers,' nobody with any objectivity believes that. No American believes he was assaulting the officers. In fact, the opposite appears to be true. So we have to get some rules of the game."
