I find all the hysteria over Trump laughable. Does the man say over the top outrageous things yes is it cringe worthy yes .But he does what he says and doesn't pander. All politicians suck and have done more harm then good and are all about power and control for themselves .They just hope you believe their bullshit to vote for them. Our government is designed so no one person controls it all the republic will survive and thrive I promise because I believe in the ideas the country was founded on. So everyone one take a breath and go about your life all will be fine . It's God Bless America. Not a politician.

This is I'm sure a true story with names changed to protect the children. The crimes committed by ICE are far worse than this article states which are bad enough for major rebuke. This mother was able to call a friend to take care of her children. Some mothers didn't get that chance.

Undocumented immigrants were arrested at the factory. ICE took no responsibility for the children of those they arrested. Some children came home to a locked house with no explanation. Some of these children were teens. Some were older children. And, some were young children as young as five years old that rode the bus to their house and no one there responsible for them.

Fortunately, the people in the town stepped up to the plate and found shelter, food and needed clothes for the now abandoned children. I don't agree with the raid. However, if it was to be done, Social Sevices should have been notified and all the affected children have a place to go and transportation to get there.

ICE officials broke many laws in the way they carried out this raid. There is a responsibility to take care of children and do a good job doing it. It doesn't matter where the child was born. If the child is in the US, we have the responsibility for that child until the 18th birthday. This is true for all 50 states and Washington, DC.

America should be up in arms on how ICE used totalitarian methods to take in undocumented immigrants. The treatment of the children breaks every standard that the West (North America and Europe) have set for minimum care for children not yet 18.

This isn't the same America that saved the world from tyrany during WWII. FDR, HST, IKE, LBJ, Nixon, Ford, and even Reagan would be ashamed of what America under Trump has become.

Already out to destroy the ecosystem why not the world economy too? Can he do that? Yes apparently he can since Congress and Moscow Mitch is totally supine to him.

BIARRITZ, France — President Trump asserted on Saturday that he has the authority to make good on his threat to force all American businesses to leave China, citing a national security law that has been used mainly to target terrorists, drug traffickers and pariah states like Iran, Syria and North Korea.

The president’s threat to all but cut off one of America’s most important trading relationships could disrupt a global economy already on the edge of recession amid his trade war while further unsettling giant companies in the United States that rely on China in their production and sale of everything from clothing to smart telephones.

I really don't think you're paying attention.

Our esteemed president exhibits all the signs of end-stage syphilis.

I have thought the same thing

Al Capone in his last years after he got out of Alcatraz

Living in FL where he would sit out by the pool for hours "fishing" in his pool with a pole with a big Penn saltwater reel with no line on it.

It's exactly like Trump sitting on the toilet tweeting, pretending he has a big dick.

Trump Admin to Supreme Court: Allow Gay People to Be Fired

As expected, Donald Trump’s administration has filed a brief with the Supreme Court urging the justices to rule that it’s legal to fire workers because of their sexual orientation.

The administration made the same argument last week regarding gender identity as the court prepares to hear cases October 8 involving employment discrimination against gay and transgender people.
Great! I'm gonna fire all my straight employees!

You want to say unbelievable alas it’s all too believable from this president. That 600 point drop uhh never mind. I didn’t mean it. When will the nightmare end? A total nutcase.

Trump has backed away from his latest threat in the trade war with China.

President Trump backed off a threat to escalate his trade war with China, admitting to “second thoughts,” just two days after he ordered American companies out of the country in Twitter statements that sent global markets reeling.

“Might as well. Might as well,” he said. “I have second thoughts about everything.”

Trump, at G7 Summit, Admits ‘Second Thoughts’ About China Trade Threats

Seems that was giving him WAY MORE CREDIT than he ever MERITED. As it turns out, according to the... white house... his "second thoughts" comment was only yet another exercise in obstinate blowhardery and pompous assholery:

White House backtracks after Trump said he had 'second thoughts' about escalating the China trade war, saying he regrets 'not raising the tariffs higher'

And speaking of pompous assholery, even Elmer ("I'm hunting wabbits") Fudd weighed in:

Lindsey Graham To U.S. Consumers: 'Accept The Pain' Of Trump's Trade War | HuffPost

"The senator ― who has become a close ally of [Individual numero uno] ― said that his South Carolina constituents would have to withstand “some” consequences of Trump’s escalating tariff battle, including a hike in consumer prices.

“We’re now at that part in the trade war where you feel increases at Walmart,” he said.

However, just last week, White House trade adviser Peter Navarro claimed on CNN’s “State of the Union” that that there has been “absolutely no evidence in the price data” of the effects of the trade war, and that it is “not showing up in the consumer price index.”

... a recent JPMorgan analysis obtained by CNBC estimated that the fallout from the trade war will cost each American household $1,000 each year...."

Well maybe the next White House Press Conference they will explain. Oh wait that's right this White House doesn't hold press conferences. Another Trump opportunist just collecting a six-figure paycheck for doing nothing.

The new press secretary who doesn't hold press briefings has a history filled with 'red flags'
