The White House has dug in on its refusal to return a man who US officials have acknowledged was wrongly deported last month from Maryland to an El Salvador mega-prison.
Press secretary Karoline Leavitt doubled down on accusations that Salvadoran national Kilmar Ábrego García was a member of the MS-13 gang, which his lawyer denies.
Leavitt also accused the 29-year-old of domestic violence, citing records showing his US citizen wife once filed a protective order against him.
A Maryland judge has ordered President Donald Trump’s administration to bring Mr Ábrego García back to the US. But El Salvador President Nayib Bukele said on a visit to the White House this week that he did not “have the power” to return him.
Aaaand which one do you think it is?
America has been lost for a while, Trump is just not smart enough to keep it together.
Trump has never been the true threat, it’s the billionaires.
No I assure you he is. Trump is a fascist dictator; he’s a true threat in the same way Hitler was a true threat.
Yes… I said he was a threat.
But the people who a richer than him, and fund all of this Right Wing Media, and put him in power are worse.
I’m done with this.
You’re not seeing it. This man will put the oligarchs in concentration camps if they piss him off. The power dynamic completely changed after Jan 20th; now he is in charge and they are his lackies.
I don’t think it’s in his interest to do any of that. He does not control the machinery that influences public opinion and he doesn’t have money like the richest people in the world have money.
You’re not completely wrong, but I think he still needs at least most of them. They help inform him of strategy via data harvesting and the means of selling it to his supporters, trump does not have the ability to do that all on his own.
What the fuck do you think trump is?
A useful puppet, that can’t be entirely controlled like Reagan, but is mostly getting the oligarch’s desires achieved.
He’s absolutely dangerous, but he’s not the true threat.
Not a billionaire, that’s for sure. Him being so sensitive about it and never wanting to appear less than that, proves it, and it’s been the case for decades.
He definitely wasn’t in term 1, but all the grifts and that stupid meme coin likely put him over the threshold.
That assumes he didn’t need all that to pay back Russian debts immediately.
I wouldn’t be surprised if 20 years from now we find out that Trump money directly funded the continued Russian invasion of Ukraine.
Krasnov is not there to “keep it together.”
Got to admit, he’s accomplished a shit ton in his first 100 days already, way more than basically any president in history.
He’s doing a fantastic job of destroying the country in every single way simultaneously. Not just destroying the democracy directly, but all American influence and soft power worldwide. He has already managed to do more damage to America than any terrorist attacks ever could have imagined, in record time.
There’s an argument that the war on terror gave rise to Trump, so in a way Bin Laden gets to claim this.
Nah, Bin Laden couldn’t do this. He didn’t own media empires or any kind of business in America. The likes of Thiel, Musk, Trump, DeSantis, and so forth are the true architects of America’s death. They are the embodiment of the saying…
“Better to rule over hell, than to serve in heaven.”
If he could he would probably be laughing real hard right now, at the very least.
Both of the global powers he fought during his lifetime are extremely busy at destroying themselves at an accelerated speed.
Meanwhile everyone else suffers.
Who do you think gave rise to Bin Laden? It all goes back to the US government’s inability to govern
I’m not sure that the famous US military is keeping Americans safe. Crazy as it may be, sometimes a big military makes you a target.
His handlers and controllers had 4 years (or 10+) to plan for this. He’s just the meat puppet in front of the camera signing all the orders.
See, that’s very true… but he clearly is doing some shit on his own. The tariffs serve no useful purpose, not for political gain, or for the billionaires, it is actually bad for them. They’re stuck trying to ride the wild and unplanned market volatility from the inconsistencies and rollbacks.
If anything, it seems like that’s the shiny thing they’re letting him focus on so he doesn’t do other stupid shit that gets in the way of the actual plans.
I imagine the stuff he’s doing on his own are the more whacky things like shower head pressure
