Trump saying Bad Bunny’s performance was “one of the worst” is a back-handed compliment to the 19 halftime performances from non-Americans.
I mean… it’s also a racist statement, but I doubt he realizes he’s complimenting non-Americans.

Immigration officers around Minneapolis are approaching people and demanding proof that they’re U.S. citizens
U.S. citizens who are out walking or standing in public are not required to provide documentation or provide identification, one legal expert says.

I proposed an idea at work today as a question of how to proceed, and then the person repeated it back to me as an instruction and asked me if it made sense.
"Why thank you, my idea didn't make sense to me until you said it."
I don't understand people sometimes.
