Trump Watch: Tantrums, threats, and authoritarian vibes

 

This week, Donald Trump axed a humanitarian parole program providing aid to immigrants, shipped migrants to Guantánamo, and declared, in dictator-inspired fashion, that parade protesters will face “very heavy force.” He’s ordering national park visitors to report anything that makes America ‘look bad’, while his press secretary sneers at reporters for asking simple questions. And TACO Don celebrated a China “deal” that slaps Americans with 55% tariffs and zero benefits.

This week's ridiculous Trump quote:

“The windmills are killing our country, by the way. The fields are littered with them—junk. They’re littered with them. And they get older, and they get rusty, and they get bad, and they get—this is in other countries also—it’s the greatest scam in history.”
