Look, every single “deal” reached by a university with the Trump administration is a moral stain that will be seen with deep embarrassment once we’re through this. But for Northwestern to do this now, when the administration is visibly weakened, is even more shameful and inexcusable.

It's a sad commentary that a free society has chosen to subject itself to this
This is what Trump thought was an appropriate Thanksgiving message. It's hard to know whether the lies, the hatred, or the disdain for our country and its laws are the worst part of this.

Trump: Most foreigners eating alive Great American Citizens and Patriots
The Thanksgiving post departed from Trump's, and the MAGA movement's, insistence they oppose "open borders" and instead favor "legal" immigration.

When the strongest argument for your policy is a list of lies (I count 7) and exaggerations (another 5), you reveal more than a wonky list of truths ever would.
