The Hill has reached out to the White House for comment. A White House spokesperson told The Associated Press it is “committed to bringing back online the Spanish translation section of the website.”

Trump’s team picked a radical as their first target and watched critics take the bait. It’s a trap—and it’s working.

The real fight isn’t over fringe activists. It’s over whether America still honors its founding principles.
