Trump lies about the amount of undocumented immigrants

It isn’t bad enough that Trump lies about the caravan having criminals and Middle Easterners.

Now he lies about how many illegal immigrants there are in the US.

Trump just said there are 25 to 30 million (!) undocumented immigrants in the United States right now. The latest estimate from DHS is 12.1 million.

For Trump, his trip to Pittsburgh was all about him

update 11/3/18:

Trump lies of his Pittsburgh trip: "It was so respectful of the office of president, and if you got home…read the New York Times or the Washington Post or if you saw any of the networks, you would say it was violence, it was, it was riots." Nobody covered the protests as riots.

What a narcissist! Instead of talking about the victims, he talks about how he was received. No official, Democrat or Republican met him at the airport. Sad!

I've unfortunately covered a lot of shootings over the years. I don't really remember an elected official, aware that they were so controversial, putting out a video of themselves at a crime scene to celebrate their own performance. https://t.co/g3ZcmFWMPS

The Democratic congressman who represents the area said Trump nor the White House even reached out to him. "We received no call or correspondence of any kind." The mayor asked Trump not to come until the funerals ended. https://t.co/iVpou8vVXs https://t.co/9f21ZcloWY

update 11/1/18:

No judge, no policy, no regulatory rollback, no tax cut is worth this. Words cannot express how awful this is: taking a massacre and using it to whine. This is not about partisanship, it is about decency, and this is indecent. https://t.co/2iZFUEVX8H

Zinke facing Justice probe

The Trump administration is so corrupt!

So ridiculous for Zinke to call the DOJ probe “politically driven,” but that’s the tone Trump has set. DOJ is going to have to find a way to assure the public politics won’t influence, maybe by appointing a special counsel or handing off to a respected US atty or senior AUSA. https://t.co/2g99f8hlhl

It was lost in Trump news a few weeks ago, but there was a half-hatched effort to install a new inspector general at Interior. That office has referred Zinke's behavior to DOJ. https://t.co/3nYE6WoP7s

— Josh Dawsey (@jdawsey1) October 30, 2018

Update: @SenBlumenthal @SenWarren @RonWyden have sent Zinke a letter, citing a recent IG report, asking him "“to immediately cease any efforts to use [your office] for personal gain and fully reimburse the public for your private use of public resources.” https://t.co/H9zkqY27s9

Trump’s immigration rhetoric

Trump’s bigoted rhetoric is a cynical effort to get the bigots to vote. He has taken his campaign efforts to the gutter. The caravan is not an invasion and no threat to America. Why doesn’t he campaign on low unemployment and good GDP growth? This make is clear that he knows that the reason people voted for him was bigotry, not economic anxiety.

Remarkable protest scene in Squirrel Hill. Demonstrators are neither yelling nor chanting. They don’t seem angry. Old and young, they are walking peacefully, singing softly and letting their very presence (and placards) deliver their message. https://t.co/kpC56QlHDD
