    Classic conservative mindset.

    Ignore a problem or demand that it cease to exist instead of figuring out how to solve it.

    They really are like children.

      It’s his one move. Demand things and wait for the world to give them to him.

      And because he’s rich and shameless, it works.

    Trump’s apparent plant:

    1. Take their money until they’re poor.
    2. Say it’s their own fault they’re poor.
    3. Punish them for being poor.

    If he must do this then I suggest the great migration to neighborhoods with wealthy conservative populations near DC, after all I’m sure the church going crowds will be falling over themselves to demonstrate their Christ like compassion they’ve long proclaimed to have.

        When someone posts something this smug and offensive the punishment should be that everyone who want to forms an orderly line and each get one square kick to his nuts. They can kick as hard as they want, they can wear whatever footwear they want.

      Away.

      Beyond that he doesn’t know or care.

      He just wants them to go away.

      Everybody who isn’t a MAGA, or doesn’t bow down, is next.

      If you weren’t born here, you will be removed. Green cards, naturalization won’t help you. They don’t respect birthright citizenship, they won’t respect anything else.

      Then they will go after gays, minorities, dissidents, journalists, and of course, Democrats/ Liberals.

      The only thing that can save you is paying a vast amount of money to HitlerPig. Even with that, he may not honor the agreement. In any case, he will eventually want more.

        It’s always awful.

        Both sides fuel the homelessness epidemic. Both sides bomb Palestinians. Both sides are in the Epstein files. It’s almost like they’re basically the same side, but one’s drunk a little more of the Koolaid.

        It’s always been awful. We have always sacrificed the homeless and the poor on the altar of “political progress”. It’s pretty par for the course in the United States.

        It’s particularly egregious, though, when it’s done by a United States sitting president. Especially for the incredibly petty reasons he’s doing so.
