Between this, de-naturalization, abolishing birth-right citizenship and banning dual citizenships, the Trump Admin will create a legion of deeply resentful anti-American former Americans at the same time it severs military and intelligence ties with allies around the world.

But whatever...

Biden ('s administration) sent two jets a week of deportees to Columbia (among other things). In normal clothing, on chartered flights, for years.

Trump sent flight of shackled people in military jets, with no landing approval. Reality show host's take on being tough.

*Literally* beclowning themselves
