America vs. the World
President Trump wants to return to the 19th century’s international order. He will leave America less prosperous—and the whole world less secure.

Trump’s foreign policy is all about enriching his family & rich friends. It was his billionaire donor Ron Lauder, who has investments in Greenland, who told him to buy it.
Now Trump risks the NATO alliance & war with Europe to pad his friend’s pockets.
We can’t let that happen.

Noem's claim is FALSE. Here is ICE's own data on the detention population among those arrested by ICE:
- 43% no criminal record (up from 6% at the start of the year),
- 29% at least one prior conviction*
- 28% at least one pending charge
*most common are traffic and immigration offenses.

They say the man was just trying to get his meds.
ICE guards shackled him
Then they choked him.

I genuinely don't understood how America took the emoluments clause -- the common-sense bar on a president using his powers to line his own pockets, a law children can understand -- and just said, nah, that doesn't apply for our Very Special Boy.

AFAIK, there has only been one shooting that resulted in a death in Minneapolis so far this year, which came at the hands of ICE.
Trump: "You look at what's happening in Minnesota, it's so sad. And it's so sad because ICE is taking out murderers, they're taking out drug lords, they're taking out people from mental institutions, bringing them back to their country. They're taking out the roughest people. Tren de Aragua."

So Trump took a Nobel Peace Prize that someone else earned, given to him to flatter his fragile ego so he might do what he should already have done (recognize Machado as legitimate leader of Venezuela). What a petty, narcissistic, absolute piece of shit Trump is.
