Donald Trump took to Truth Social to call on ICE officials to expand efforts to "detain Illegal Aliens" in cities at the "core of Democrat Power Center." It comes after deportations in Los Angeles sparked protests.

Fuck up, wonder if mega happy. Lot of my fucking racist neighbors voted for him because he was going get rid of the illegals. Yet there still here, not single one worried. Because he seems focused only on blue states. It's like he just wants a civil war to hold power not to acutely get rid of illegals.

Trump is unprincipled. He simply doesn't have convictions beyond selfish gain. The good news is he doesn't truly hate anyone. But he also doesn't love anyone. He has no true sense of worth at all. He is completely ambivalent to all things with one major exception. He is remorselessly opposed to anyone who doesn't contribute to his personal aggrandizement or who stands in direct opposition to his ego. He doesn't give a shit about immigrants "ruining America", because he doesn't give a shit about America in the first place. He doesn't give a shit about crime because it doesn't effect him directly. He doesn't care about jobs because he's never had one and doesn't understand the point. He just follows his nose like Tucan Sam, but instead of fruity cereal, it's prestige he covets. And he's so sick, that becoming president of the United States isn't even enough. Nothing is enough. His sense of self esteem is so diminished and corrupted that he would literally see the earth destoyed if it meant that he felt important for the brief final moments. I truly believe that his whole raison d'être and subsequent global fuckery can be traced to that one single moment that Obama got a laugh at his expense. This is just how petty he really is, and how fucked we really are.

What an unfathomable waste he is.

Just such a shame to the entire universe that he has ever even existed in the first place.

the actual illegals, he actually stop targeting farms, restuarants,,,,etc. where most of the bulk of undocumented are. the illegimate ones are going to stay hidden, so less likely to even find said illegal, hes going after legal ones.

He's not going to win the coming civil war, it won't even be a very long one this time

[–] Fredselfish@lemmy.world 1 points 1 week ago (1 children)

I don't know about that. After all he has the US military on his side.

As fucked as we are as a country, a lot of soldiers won't have the nerve to fire on civilians

Some will, but the disgust from their comrades will make the disgusted even more certain to fight fascism
