Two months ago, U.S. Border Patrol posted a hype video, featuring the “banned” version of Michael Jackson’s 1995 song “They Don’t Care About Us,” including its infamous antisemitic slurs.

While Border Patrol remained silent, antisemitic accounts on Twitter celebrated the government’s post.

Shutdowns cost more than disruption.
They cost trust, momentum, lives.
Trump’s brand is chaos.
His legacy?
Collapse.
