He just makes up wild shit like this, and the dumbest third of the people in the country believe him.
Trump on Somalis in Minnesota: "Those people should go to jail. Jail! And if they don't go to jail, Scott Bessent is toast. These people are crooks. They don't work. 91% unemployment, okay? It's a scam. And it's headed up by the crooked congresswoman. What ever happened to her brother, by the way."

Trump: "You can give up certain products. You could give up pencils. Because under the China policy, every child can get 37 pencils. They only need 1 or 2. They don't need that many. You always need steel. You don't need 37 dolls for your daughter. 2 or 3 is nice. So we're doing things right."

He found $40 billion to bail out Argentina.
But only $12 billion to help the farmers hurt by his policies.

Cruelty by design. This administration wants chaos. They want us demoralized and defeated. They want us tired and exhausted. They want us afraid as they do, what I believe is, calculated targeting. “What situation will cause the most outrage?” But they also want us angry enough to use as an excuse…
I need everybody to read this and understand what’s going on. These are spouses of US citizens in the country legally. They have entry clearance and green cards, they’ve passed background checks and have no criminal records. ICE is taking them anyway.
