Donald Trump always wanted immigration to be be the issue everyone talked about. He just did not want it to be the issue anyone thought about. David Waldman, Greg Dworkin and Armando are here to help us both think and talk on the matter:
Americans are now thinking about immigration, and they like it, and how Democrats handle it. They sure don’t like how it is being handled now. Some are refusing to be complicit anymore, many are stepping up to make direct changes.
Donald saw it all himself on the telly-telly, so now he purports to be be suddenly changing his ways on immigrants and families. Trump purports a lot of things. Remember when we used to believe some of the things a president said or did? Ivanka said she was against all of this, after daddy told her it was ok to talk. Melania heads out to photo op solutions. You’ll never hear it from Trump, but so far this has been a total surrender. Even a real executive order couldn’t pass the court.
Our feckless Congress comes ready for battle, only to discover they’re still fresh out of fecks to give. Maybe they can slip Trump $25 billion, maybe $125 billion to make this blow over.
No one knows Trump’s next move, but it might involve being a cynical back-stabbing repugnant racist hypocritical dotard. The New York Times reminds us that Hollywood celebrities cuss, too.
