Everyone in politics, everyone in media knows what’s happening here: the White House is controlled by a repellant white supremacist who waits with bated breath for any opportunity to run nonwhite people out of America. They know who it is, what he’s doing. But they won’t SAY it.
Trump: “I will permanently pause migration from all Third World Countries … denaturalize migrants who undermine domestic tranquility, and deport any Foreign National who is a public charge, security risk, or non-compatible with Western Civilization.“

Why, as a singer or an actor, would you actively do something that ruins your voice and face, the two things that make you money? It’ll be really hard to sing or say your lines when you’ve lost half your esophagus or have to have your tongue cut out from cancer.
