Trump would be stupid to vote for amnesty but the average American can’t stomach border enforcement so we are screwed regardless

I think there's a huge gap between enforcing the border and hiring unqualified personnel with little training, which has led to so much chaos.

Trump’s problem has always been the execution of ideas.

Hahahahahah


Every sane person said “I think ICE is going too far”

Every far right wing extremist called them socialists and soft libs.

Well here you go—your own cult leader admitting it went too far.

Good- maybe we've finally put an end to the "Trickle Down Economics Theory" that seems to be leading to a billionaire ruling class deciding how much UBI to trickle down to us

Members of the party of the self-proclaimed "AI President" want us to go back to paper-and-pen ballots.

Ironic

It was only a matter of time until the Republican Party collapsed in on itself like a neutron star. Appears that timeline has accelerated

I’ve long had a theory that the modern GOP platform, at least in its current form, will largely disappear within the next 20 to 30 years through simple demographic change. A political strategy that depends on preserving a White majority while blaming many of the nation’s problems on minorities becomes harder to sustain in a society where interracial marriage and multiracial families are increasingly common.

Look no further than the current administration. Many of its own leaders have mixed-race children and grandchildren.

Thirty years from now, it will be much harder to convince Americans that "those people" are the problem when a growing share of the population has a family tree that crosses racial and ethnic lines. When nearly everyone has a relative, spouse, child, or grandchild from a different background, appeals rooted in racial division lose much of their political utility.

Hell yeah- let's go full Nazi.

The market is up 14% YTD and inflation is at 3.7%. If you aren’t thriving in this economy it may explain your reaction to his very simple statement.

The market was booming under Biden S&P up near 50%. The economy is not the same thing as the stock market.

Inflation is higher than it was when Biden left office and higher than the target set by Trumps own admin. Trump campaigned on lowering it on day one—it's not lower, it's higher.

Also even Republicans admit tariffs have been inflationary

Also, the economy is doing great. The tariffs aren't having a negative impact.

That's media framing. The ICE deportation not only exactly what's needed it is needed more and faster.

---

Videos of ICE agents running people over in SUVs aren't media framing.

Sure, we could use something like ICE; sure, we could use something like Dodge, but the execution — just like many things with Trump — is often poor and doesn't reflect the output of the greatest country in the world.

likely add another $2-3 trillion to US debt, thereby further debasing the USD along with the affordability issues that come with another 10-15 million illegal migrants entering the US over the next several years.

Trump has added 4T to the debt in his second term (in two years) while cutting every program that benefits the poor/working class while giving tax breaks to billionaires.

If we are going to add debt, the common man's view is that it should at least help the people who need it most.
