Indeed! A piece of Denmark, a piece of Panama, and all of Canada. There is no getting around realty. Trump is a bat-shit-crazy, narcissist, serial law-breaker with a total lack of ethical standards; a very dangerous combination. He's as charismatic as Hitler! Nothing he says can be relied on to be correct or true. His loyal followers don't care. His next four years will be a repeat of 2017-20 but even more chaotic; just like the chaos in his many failed marriages and businesses. The people who throw in with him end up dead, bankrupted, in jail or disbarred while he retires to the golf course where his reputation is that of a mediocre, old golfer who cheats to win. He used funds from a charitable NY foundation he and his family founded to have a portrait of himself painted and hung in his golf club. Trump and his three oldest children are now forever barred from serving on the board of a charitable foundation in New York. Barbara Underwood, the former NY Acting AG said Trump's transgressions were the worst abuse of NY charitable foundation rules she had ever encountered.* ________________ * according to the NYT: "The foundation was accused by the attorney general, Barbara Underwood, of 'functioning as little more than a checkbook to serve Mr. Trump’s business and political interests,' and of engaging in 'a shocking pattern of illegality' that included unlawfully coordinating with Mr. Trump’s 2016 presidential campaign."
I wonder if anyone has thought this through. Constructing an encampment facility to hold tens of thousands makes no sense unless there already exists a plan in place to process "detainees" through our immigration courts in an orderly and efficient manner according to the international laws we are a party to. It might make more sense to let the illegals remain here and work while they are being processed. I see a huge encampment being maintained more or less indefinitely at great human and taxpayer cost without a clear end point, and with a possible consequence of greater inflation in our domestic economy. None of the Stuff Trump is doing seems to be well thought out. He appears to be operating by the seats of his pants. Is he going to create as many problems as he purports to solve? We badly need a more competent President. His incompetence may be measured by the number of his executive orders that have to be quickly withdrawn because no one has thought through the consequences.
Not to worry, Trump is having private prison companies contracted to set-up and run these detention facilities. Nearly all their executives are big Trump supporters and donors. There will be plenty of federal cash flowing to them. This is all about the grift.
Gitmo not big enough. Wouldn't even bother to get it set up. All illegals that entered the country via Mexico should be dumped back in Mexico regardless of their country of origin. If that does not work for Mexico then maybe they can help stop them from coming to our border. Mexico will resist this or refuse to do it, in which case we should give them reasons why they do. Or they can always propose some alternative plan that achieves the goal. A migrant passing through Mexico has no right under international law to demand asylum in the U.S so they should not have been allowed into the country. International requires a migrant to request asylum in the first country they enter that is not where their original life threat was. To go beyond that makes them economic migrants- not asylum seekers.
That might be the worst case of TDS I have ever seen. That is very late stage. But, you laid out the lawfare quite nicely.
Not always disinformation, of course Trump is absolutely right when commenting on yesterday's aviation disaster: "looks like it should have been prevented". I'm in awe.
almost all aviation disasters can be prevented. The NTSB and the FAA are incredibly effective at doing post mortem analysis’ to see what can be prevented in the future. That’s why air travel is so safe. if Trump doesn’t interfere, the FAA will understand what happend and will put a corrective action in place. They are really good at this.
