We know that Trump is a low-down degenerate inhumane bastard. We’ve known it after he had no reaction at all the death and dismemberment of Jamal Khashoggi which was ordered by Jared Kushner’s good buddy Saudi Crown Prince MbS.
The CIA has concluded that Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman ordered the assassination of journalist Jamal Khashoggi in Istanbul last month, contradicting the Saudi government’s claims that he was not involved in the killing, according to people familiar with the matter.
The CIA’s assessment, in which officials have said they have high confidence, is the most definitive to date linking Mohammed to the operation and complicates the Trump administration’s efforts to preserve its relationship with a close ally. A team of 15 Saudi agents flew to Istanbul on government aircraft in October and killed Khashoggi inside the Saudi Consulate, where he had gone to pick up documents that he needed for his planned marriage to a Turkish woman.
In reaching its conclusions, the CIA examined multiple sources of intelligence, including a phone call that the prince’s brother Khalid bin Salman, the Saudi ambassador to the United States, had with Khashoggi, according to the people familiar with the matter, who spoke on the condition of anonymity to discuss the intelligence. Khalid told Khashoggi, a contributing columnist to The Washington Post, that he should go to the Saudi Consulate in Istanbul to retrieve the documents and gave him assurances that it would be safe to do so.
He also hasn’t done anything about the Russia plot to pay bounties to the Taliban for the killing of U.S. soldiers.
American officials intercepted electronic data showing large financial transfers from a bank account controlled by Russia’s military intelligence agency to a Taliban-linked account, evidence that supported their conclusion that Russia covertly offered bounties for killing U.S. and coalition troops in Afghanistan, according to three officials familiar with the intelligence.
Though the United States has accused Russia of providing general support to the Taliban before, analysts concluded from other intelligence that the transfers were most likely part of a bounty program that detainees described during interrogations.
Trump calls this “fake news”, he calls it a “hoax.” At the very least he should be tasking his intel agencies to find out if there’s any other good reason for the GRU to the giving money to the Taliban, whom they also sell weapons to.
We can tell that he doesn’t care about people’s suffering when he orders rubber bullets and gas used on non-violent protesters exercising their 1st Amendment right to gather and seek redress for grievances from the government.
But if you truly want evidence that he has no heart, no empathy, no soul and no humanity — you just need to read what he said he wanted to do to undocumented immigrants at our border.
Only a person that truly does not understand the 14th Amendment equal protection clause, which indicates that every person — each and every single individual — within jurisdiction of the state receives the full protection of the laws of that state, would even suggest something like this. It doesn’t matter what race or nationality you are, it doesn’t matter if you’re a citizen or you are undocumented, if you are within legal jurisdiction of the United States, you are afforded full protection, from due process to probable cause.
Immigrants may not be Americans — although technically those from Central and South America are — they are still protected by law whether they are documented or not.
Unfortunately, not to Trump according to former Homeland Security Chief of staff Miles Taylor.
When it came to the border wall, Trump would dream up “sickening” medieval plots “to pierce the flesh” of migrants, rip all the families apart, “maim,” and gas them, Taylor claims. “This was a man with no humanity whatsoever,” Taylor says. “He says, we got to do this, this, this, and this, all of which are probably impossible, illegal unethical,” Taylor recalls, but he was writing them down as the president spoke. “And he looks over me and he goes, ‘you fucking taking notes?’”
Immigrants seeking asylum, as a matter of fact, don’t have to present themselves at a point of entry. Under U.S. law they are allowed to surrender themselves for asylum application up to a year after crossing the border no matter which point of entry they used.
The right to seek asylum was incorporated into international law following the atrocities of World War II. Congress adopted key provisions of the Geneva Refugee Convention (including the international definition of a refugee) into U.S. immigration law when it passed the Refugee Act of 1980.

Asylum seekers must be in the U.S. or at a port of entry (an airport or an official land crossing) to apply for, or request the opportunity to apply for, asylum. "There’s no way to ask for a visa or any type of authorization in advance for the purpose of seeking asylum,” says the International Rescue Committee’s director of immigration, Olga Byrne. “You just have to show up."
"While the administration is saying people should come here legally and follow a legal process, it's making it impossible to do so,” says Byrne. “So many individuals and families have been trying to follow a legal process, but instead they’ve been stranded in Tijuana or other northern Mexico towns because they have been denied access to any U.S. official.”
All of the people, and children, who are seeking asylum and are currently being detained or turned away at our border have in fact entered legally and have followed the law. Trump has broken the law.
Last night Melania Trump tried to argue that her husband gives us his “honesty.” She tried to call for compassion for those who have suffered.
This man has no compassion, he has no humanity, he’s a sociopath psychopath and he should not remain in the White House.
