The image shows two X posts. The first, by Juliette Kayyem (@juliettekayyem
) from 1 hour ago, states: "'Take care of' is not subtle. This weekend the ground has shifted and no person can deny what the president, unpopular and unfit, intends. To remain silent is to welcome this. They can both sides or claim they didn't hear, but there is no wiggle room about his plans now." The second, by Aaron Rupar (@atrupar
) from 6 hours ago, quotes Trump addressing the Navy: "We have to take care of this little gnat that's on our shoulder called the Democrats." The post includes a photo of Trump speaking to a group in Navy uniforms, with a caption noting he "called the Democrats. They want to give all of our money to illegal."

No President should ever stoke this kind of division and dehumanize the other half of the country in this way.

Trump dodged the Vietnam draft and made a disastrous deal with the Taliban in Afghanistan.

Someone should do a FOIA request for the raw footage of the videos they took of that Chicago raid and then edited into a fascist ad for ICE.

It says that he is out of the office because Democrats wouldnโ€™t come to the table to negotiate.

On August 25, President Trump again referenced plans for a Chicago troop deployment,
stating: โ€œWe go in, we will solve Chicago within one week, maybe less. But within one
week, we will have no crime in Chicago just like we have no crime in D.C.โ€54
โ€ข On August 30, after Governor Pritzker voiced opposition to a potential Chicago troop
deployment, President Trump posted on social media that the Governor โ€œbetter straighten
it out, FAST, or weโ€™re coming!โ€55
โ€ข On September 2, President Trump called Chicago โ€œa hellholeโ€ and worse than Afghanistan;
when asked whether he had made up his mind โ€œon Chicago,โ€ the President answered
simply: โ€œWeโ€™re going in โ€“ I didnโ€™t say when, weโ€™re going in.โ€56
โ€ข On September 3, President Trump sent a fundraising email to his supporters with the
subject โ€œWeโ€™re going to Chicago!โ€ The email began: โ€œWEโ€™RE GOING INTO
CHICAGO. Iโ€™m not saying when, but weโ€™re going in!โ€ Claiming he had โ€œturned our Great
Capital into a Safe Zone,โ€ President Trump declared: โ€œNOW I WANT TO LIBERATE
CHICAGO!โ€ After decrying that โ€œThe Radical Left Governors and Mayors of crime
ridden cities donโ€™t want to stop the radical crime,โ€ the President assured his supporters:
โ€œWEโ€™RE GOING TO DO IT ANYWAY.โ€57

Last year they claimed โ€œillegalsโ€ were voting, without any evidence.

They used fear mongering to push for voter suppression laws.

Now they claim โ€œillegalsโ€ are getting free healthcare, again without any evidence.

So they can make healthcare unaffordable for millions of Americans.

Enough.
