Most of the people deported from the US to who knows where are devout Christians, so when someone says they are protecting Christians everywhere, they must not mean the US.

I know it's old news but I am continually, genuinely curious how one gets to be so comfortable with lying — brazen, up-is-down, don't-believe-your-eyes lying — to the public like this.
![As always, the White House wants you to stop worrying about all that. As press secretary Karoline Leavitt told the Washington Post today: [highlight] "Neither the President nor his family have ever engaged, or will ever engage, in conflicts of interest."

Biden brought American manufacturing back but Trump is strangling it once again
The US continues to lose manufacturing jobs—payrolls are down 81k over the last year, & another 5k jobs were lost in November
Transportation (especially auto manufacturing), wood & electronics/electrical manufacturing are the biggest losers, but few subsectors are doing well
