The President sees a bad jobs report, and responds by getting rid of the person in charge of the statistics. This is how America becomes a third-rate country.

Both companies are allowing ICE agents to come onto their premises to arrest innocent shoppers.

Trump Displays DRC Visual As Proof Of South African 'Genocide' US President Donald Trump brandished a stack of printed articles at the White House Wednesday that he claimed documented a genocide taking place against white people in South Africa.

β€œLook, here's burial sites all over the place. These are all white farmers that are being buried,” Donald Trump said during today’s White House meeting with South Africa’s president.

The image he was holding up, however, is of the Democratic Republic of Congo.

His data scrapers are in place, he’s secured billions in Government contracts and grants. He’s finished his assignment and now he’s going home.

For those confused by the China tariff news:

β€’ Trump caved and got zero in return
β€’ No manufacturing moved back to the USA
β€’ 30% tariff is still a huge tax on Americans
β€’ 90 day pause still causes uncertainty
β€’ Trump lost all negotiating leverage

It is important to recognize that a president who takes bribes and a Congress that lets that slide was itself a Constitutional crisis.

Banning bribery was so important, the Founders had the Constitution forbid it three times, including as the only directly named impeachable offense besides treason.

Why would you hold someone in a secret location for trespass?

The Trump administration hired a company to open an ICE facility in Newark

Mayor Ras Baraka said they needed permits

There's a sordid history of for-profit businesses holding immigrants under inhumane conditions

So the mayor went to inspect

And they arrested him
