How is it that he isn’t in a padded jail cell by now?

Wherever Trump goes, whatever he touches, whatever he does, he always leaves a disgusting trail of slime behind him. And we’re the ones who have to live with it and clean up after him.

I am witnessing all of this from Portugal (where I decided to uproot my life and move to on election night last year) and I have been following a lot less news than before but it seems like every time I drop in to see how this country is doing, it keeps getting shockingly much worse! This is so incredibly NOT NORMAL!!

I had a feeling it would veer towards fascism and that’s why I left, but wow it all happened so much faster than I expected!

It’s heartbreaking that this nation of immigrants is turning into such a dark and dangerous place for immigrants 😢

While I agree with the sentiment analysis of the trump post, what would have been enlightening are some facts, especially facts with numbers. We have to share some documented reality with MAGA otherwise they continue to drink & re-spew trump's drivel. For example, there are not hundreds of thousands of migrants in Minnesota: "Somalians make up 1.5% to 1.6% of the state's total population of approximately 5.8 million"(Google AI). That's roughly, 92,000.

Another example of sharing some facts: Yes, $50,000 in benefits is impossible: Instead: "With an annual income of $30,000, a single adult generally exceeds the income limits for programs like the Minnesota Family Investment Program (MFIP) or General Assistance (GA), which are primarily for individuals or families with very little or no income (Google AI). Since $30,000 is close to the federal poverty limits, most likely the family would receive very little of SNAP benefits, too."

My point is to share information that we can sink our teeth into and share. Not return in kind comments that further cement attitudes and do not get people off their fixed hatreds.

But how does this get shared with MAGA?

Could this be anymore hateful and vitriolic? The man is a raving lunatic.

He didn't write all this...Miller, Vance or Thiel?

It certainly sounds like Stephen Miller.

And if it’s Miller, he fills the bill as child or grandchild of immigrants who fled wherever they came from for the intense antisemitism. What confuses me is that if he were actually smart enough to write this drivel, where on earth was he educated because that writing is so close to illiteracy that he couldn’t have passed freshman English. And yet, here he is. Why?

Yes, it sounds exactly like Miller. DJT did not write this. DJT has the cruelty but not the vocabulary.

“Other than that, HAPPY THANKSGIVING TO ALL, except those that hate, steal, murder, and destroy everything that America stands for — You won’t be here for long!”

Let's hope that last sentence is truly prophetic.

Scary and unacceptable behavior from the President of the United States! It's most likely the evil Steven Miller writing his message, and the whole lot of them are an extreme danger to our country and the people who live on our soil.

Do we even believe he wrote this? It’s full of his divisive, toxic hatred but there are also complete sentences. Maybe Stephen M channeled him or he used some AI to clean it up.

To pack that much hate and delusion into a couple of scrambled paragraphs….?!?!?

DT is more unhinged by the day. That's a given. What's worse are the lackeys who make excuses for DT; ignore the increasing lunacy; and are over-the-top rude to anyone who questions the lunacy. I have to think this shitstorm will unravel beyond repair.

Who's the real turkey? At least the one with feathers doesn't utter verbal gobbledygook!

'He leads his sycophants down the path of self-righteousness, for his name's sake. Goodness & mercy won't follow them all the days of their lives, and Trump🪳 shall dwell in the house of Mar-a-Lago forever.'

Sorry. I'm not King James & Trump🪳is only king of his ghastly, gaudy castle!

Criminals, like Tempertantrump, leave their finger prints on everything. Take away his name on the account and we would all still know who posted it. He is an unhappy man who spreads misery. Congress and SCOTUS failed to protect Americans, which make them co-conspirators. Did you notice the turkey message? It was “ALL white”. A natural turkey is multi-color.

Used to be a president had advisors and secretaries to keep them from making a fool of themselves and the nation.

Trouble starts when somebody thinks they are the smartest one in office and too mean or sick to let anybody help them with the public relations and security, fact-checking and other various bits that come with the job.
