1. This is incredible…everyone was saying the MS 13 was added to the photo as a translation of the symbols on his knuckles.
Now Trump is going against them and saying he actually has the MS 13 on his knuckles when that’s clearly a lie.

We've seen videos like this before, but usually when you see a tearful wife pleading with the kidnappers who have taken her husband, she's not talking to the U.S. president
Abrego Garcia's wife: "I will not stop fighting until I see my husband alive. Kilmar, if you can hear me, stay strong. God hasn't forgotten about you. Our children are asking when you will come home ... they miss their dad so much."

I feel like “President of the United States suggests he would deport American citizens to prisons in El Salvador” should be fairly big news
REPORTER: You mentioned you're open to deporting individuals that aren't foreign aliens but aren't criminal to El Salvador. Does that include US citizens?
TRUMP: If they are criminals and hit people with baseball bats, if they rape 87 year old women, yeah. Yeah. That includes them. I'm all for it.

When Bill Clinton cut 300,000 + jobs from the federal workforce, he did it with the APPROVAL of Congress after review and a VOTE!
He did NOT illegally take it upon himself to drastically slash entire agencies and programs - with NO plan for continued service.
