As consigliere Todd Blanche says ‘It’s not a crime to party with Epstein’, because crime requiring shooting through doors increases when you make the streets dangerous with thugs from ICE/CBP/DHS.
The standard GOPhascist trope about street crime needing more policing ignores online crime including crypto-Ponzi grifting schemes. Its pseudo-rationale gains scale with bog-standard racism. Criminalizing asylum-seeking is an incompetent way of hunting actual criminals. After a century of FBI crime fighting, the ‘homeland security’ trope ignores white-collar crime like profiteering. When Trump goes TACO he pairs a rhetorical retreat with a misdirection as in his ‘pre-Superbowl’ interview. He can claim that Democrats are “soft on crime” while defending more ‘special operations’ style raiding attacks on civilians.
“I learned that maybe we can use a little bit of a softer touch. But you still have to be tough. These are criminal– we’re dealing with really hard criminals.”
President Donald Trump admitted that his administration needs to use a softer touch on immigration enforcement during his pre-Super Bowl interview with NBC News’ Tom Llamas.
“Let’s drill down into the news today,” began Llamas during his sit-down with the president on Wednesday.
“That big change on immigration, 700 officers leaving Minneapolis, did that come from you?” he asked, referencing border czar Tom Homan’s announcement Wednesday morning.
“Yes, it did. But it didn’t come from me because I just wanted to do it.”
We have-, we are waiting for them to release prisoners, give us the murderers that they’re holding and all of the bad people, drug dealers, all of the bad people,” replied Trump. “We allowed in our country I say 25 million people with an open border policy for four years under Biden, and that group, the autopen group I call them. We allowed to come into our country people the likes of which no country would accept, and we’re getting them out, but we’ve gotten a lot of them out. so crime now in Minnesota, crime now in Minneapolis is down. Crime in all cities is down. And you know why it’s down? It’s down because of us. It’s down in Chicago by 25 percent, despite the fact that we are always dealing with these people, and they happen to be Democrats, that don’t know anything about crime prevention.”
“I learned that maybe we can use a little bit of a softer touch. But you still have to be tough. These are criminal– we’re dealing with really hard criminals.”

2/2 The drug is also known by the commercial names Leqembi & Eisai.
Reporters must ask:
- why his hand is regularly bandaged (it's not hand shaking).
- for the MRI imaging/readings;
- for original physician result reports/for a presser;
- whether Trump is on this med, given family history?

"I've never heard of him. I don't know who he is," Trump said.
