Trump’s actions will probably increase gang membership

What do you think the children Trump has separated from their parents are going to think of the United States when they grow up? I am sure some will join anti-US gangs to strike back. Trump is alienating most of the world with his isolationist policies and bigoted rhetoric.

Trump is making us less safe and will be a great recruiting tool for people who want to harm our country.

Trump’s attacks on Maxine Waters are disgusting

Maxine Waters (like millions of us) has been tough on Trump. First, he said she had a low IQ. Now, he says many say she is corrupt. He has supplied no proof for either statement. Sad!

wow … https://t.co/JgBc2RsofX

Congresswoman Maxine Waters, an extraordinarily low IQ person, has become, together with Nancy Pelosi, the Face of the Democrat Party. She has just called for harm to supporters, of which there are many, of the Make America Great Again movement. Be careful what you wish for Max!

Another conspiracy theory bites the dust

The president told the world that "the Democrat IT scandal," involving a man named Imran Awan, "is a key to much of the corruption we see today." The Department of Justice says it has found there is no IT scandal involving Imran Awan. https://t.co/1mlSmQcuva

It is so revealing that the main defense of ICE are criminal arrests/prosecutions that could be done by other law enforcement agencies.
