Here it is! Here’s the truth about the Trump Administration. Darren Beattie is going to be put for a key post, the Acting “Under Secretary for Public Diplomacy and Public Affairs.” He left the 1st Trump Admin due to criticism he received for attending a conference tied to white nationalists.

It's no coincidence that the two forms of animal discourse from Trump are either calling migrants "animals" or weird sentimental AI images of cute pets. For men like him, animals must be dominated or tamed. And the category of "animals" can always include groups of humans.
