A common theme between the Kennedy Center, the East Wing, and Greenland is that POTUS views someone else’s property as a real estate project ripe for redevelopment.
So, East Wing treatment for the Kennedy Center?
Trump: "I have determined that the fastest way to bring The Trump Kennedy Center to the highest level of Success, Beauty, and Grandeur, is to cease Entertainment Operations for an approximately two year period of time, with a scheduled Grand Reopening that will rival and surpass anything."

Don’t listen to people who say all politicians are crooks, or that everyone lies. You know who says that?
Crooks & liars. They see in others what they are themselves.
But most people aren’t crooks & liars.
Most people are decent.
And we have had enough of these crooks & liars

ICE claim that a man shattered his skull running into wall triggers tension at a Minnesota hospital
Intensive care nurses immediately doubted the word of federal immigration officers when they arrived at a Minneapolis hospital with a Mexican immigrant who had broken bones in his face and skull.

I know all eyes are on Minneapolis, but there's a fast-approaching nightmare in Springfield, Ohio.
Trump is revoking protected status for tens of thousands of Haitians living there on Feb. 3.
Reportedly, on Feb. 4, 1000 ICE agents are arriving to remove this population. Ethnic cleansing.

Minnesota National Guard members have arrived at a federal building and were directed to distribute donuts, coffee, and hot chocolate to anti-ICE protesters. Guard members were issued reflective vests so they would not be mistaken for federal agents.

In the video, relatives of Russian occupiers are buying body bags themselves.
It is reported that this is humanitarian aid for the 6th Motorized Rifle Regiment (military unit 41624).
What is most shocking is the woman’s cheerful voice.

A guy was driving his pickup truck with a sign that read, “Stop the lies.” ICE pulled him out of his truck and impounded his truck. They put him in jail and charged home obstructing ICE operations - for simply having a sign on his truck. The First Amendment is dead.

Good god, the man is a mathematical genius. He's created the imaginary-irrational number.
Q: Can you explain how your healthcare plan will affect premiums?
TRUMP: It's a tremendous thing. It's called the great healthcare plan. And we're gonna get tremendous, uh, reductions through, uh, if you look at prescription drugs, they're gonna come down by numbers that have never been seen before

70% of ICE detainees have no criminal convictions, according to govt data.
Don’t fall for Trump’s lies about targeting the “worst of the worst.”
As ICE terrorizes cities to fill up detention centers, remember that some of Trump's major donors are private prison corporations.

This is the classic response of a psychopathic and fascist political leader.
Trump told NYT that his power as commander in chief is constrained only by his "own morality" — brushing aside international law and other legitimate checks on his abilities.
"My own morality. My own mind. It's the only thing that can stop me."
"I don't need international law."
