I don’t trust any of this, particularly because Temu Goebbels is now chief of staff. That’s the polar opposite of a conciliatory move.

    Trump was asked by the 60 Minutes correspondent Ross Douthat whether his deportation policy had gone too far. “I think it was too tough,” he said. “I think it might be too tough, yeah. And a lot of people would say that it’s great. But a lot of people think it’s too tough.”

    The president claimed that his policy “both helped and hurt”, since people gave him an “A+ for closing up the border” and “very high marks for getting the bad ones out”.

    The DNC is soft as baby shit and will 100% just allow him and his grifters to drift back to normalcy. Especially with someone like Jeffries potentially being the mouthpiece.

    They'll go and get some low hanging fruit as collateral and declare it a victory. They can't shake the boat too much or they don't get their kickbacks.

    So he's just going to let Chancellor Miller take the blame for the even-more-batshit policies to come.
