Trump is caving....again?

Why the hell does this nincompoop-in-chief not know basics re issues before he acts on them?

Trump is a moron #1 and also these ICE raids are for political purposes and have nothing to do with illegals. He is trying to cause disturbances that will allow him to declare martial law. Never forget that everything is always about him. As his approval declines he will continually keep trying harder and harder to make himself untouchable and being the arsonist that puts out his own fires is how he thinks he will get it.
 

It's all about increasing his wealth and power.

And even after being president once already and creating immigration policy...TACO didnt know this before his recent derogatory rants?
Wow, MAGA must be getting whiplash with the need (requirement for the dutiful) to rationalize all the reversals.

With all this bending over backwards to defend Trump, chiropractors are gonna have lots of new MAGA patients.

LOL I just posted that they're getting whiplash
 

He wants to look like a strong man. Like his idol, Putin. He's feelin' it after Putin treating him like a lapdog over Ukraine.
 
To be honest, his flipflops show me this: he is a very unexperienced apprentice with bad intention and way too big ego who is learning governing. All the things wich everybody told him woun´t work, he has to experience himself. That he doesn´t care about truth or what he told yesterday works good for him in that aspect. System try and error. If he just would be evil... but evil and incompetent?!? - good luck America, you´ll need it!
 

Go Gavin!!!!!

TACO taco-ing. LOL

 
It’s almost like he suddenly realized that when he said he’d deport 15 million immigrants it would affect businesses that employ those people.

Or maybe those immigrants really aren’t murders and rapists, like he told us?

Really? They distinguish among places where those without documents work? I remember hearing stories about the old INS delaying raids on agricultural fields until the harvest came in, but never really believed it.

I doubt it, I wrote that wondering how would they enforce the policy if farm and hospitality workers are exempt and millions of others aren't.
 

They've already raided California farms, and word has gotten out. I'm guessing a fair number of farmhands have just decided to head north to Canada. Good luck finding Fox News-binging white folk from Simi Valley willing to do that kind of work.

To a lot of small business owners, migrants are critical workers to their livelihoods. It's not just farming. A lot of small businesses in urban areas use migrant workers, and that includes people without status. Around here, there is zero chance lawn and landscape businesses could survive without immigrant labor. Across the river in DC, a lot of popular restaurants depend on immigrant labor.

Once the exception (amnesty?) for one industry (employment sector?) is ‘officially’ made, expect more of them.

Thats our "President" Taco.....LOL. smh
 
The other Republican business owners (who are not farmers) should figure out some creative way to sue Trump or the Trump Administration or a specific person in the Trump Administration (or maybe even farmers) for the damages/bankruptcies that THEY will incur that Trump is protecting the other businesses (farmers and soon to be factories) from.
 
I chuckle remembering all the threads with Trumpers posting how deporting farm workers would be no big deal, lots of Americans needed those jobs. It must be exhausting to constantly come up with rational for Trump's caves. Next up meat packers, restaurants, lawn services and pool maintenance.
 

That’s amnesty with a pathway to citizenship - aka a reward for those who entered illegally or overstayed a ‘temporary’ visa. That’s more than Obama/Biden offered to ‘Dreamers’.
 

Amnesty (via ‘prosecutorial discretion’) is far less expensive and requires no congressional action.
