A Confederacy of Toddlers The Trump administration is a regime of troubled children.

This is the president of the United States taking a break from gold-and-marble interior renovations to say he’ll defy a court order to feed hungry Americans.

Trump's National Guard deployments aren't random. They were planned years ago President Trump and several others now high up in his second administration have been talking about using the National Guard to help with mass deportations -- and possibly invoking the Insurrection Act -- for years. Now, those plans might be playing out.
