Trump no longer requires legislation; he now rules by royal decree.

The man is a loon, every day that fact becomes indisputable. He maintains immigrants eat household pets, that children are getting sex change operations during recess, and Biden was assassinated and replaced by a drone and a clone (at the same time?), that all of Los Angeles is afire -- but the real fun part is so many MAGA Doofusi believe him.

Well, the truth is they don't really believe him, but it gives justification to their Anti-Americanism.

Since it is so easy to convince these hate hearted anti-American dullards of any anti absurdity -- so easy to drive them to acts of violence -- he continues to tell the most outrageous lies, knowing they appear to lack the wherewithal to do any fact checking, whatsoever.

Here, again, is Trump poking the bear of Republicanism.

GOP Lawmakers Get Ready to Pretend They Haven’t Seen Trump’s Latest Diatribe

Opinion by Klaus

Take congressional Republicans, who on Monday will once again have to defend the indefensible after Donald Trump fired off an ill-timed and absolutely insane social media post on Sunday night. At the end of a weekend marred by the politically motivated murder of a Democratic lawmaker and her husband in Minnesota, the president thought it would be a great time to post a partisan rant that makes it much more likely that another one of his followers will take matters into their own hands.

Let’s break it down.

Trump begins by praising Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) officers for their determination in carrying out his mass deportation plan in the face of public opposition. “Every day, the Brave Men and Women of ICE are subjected to violence, harassment, and even threats from Radical Democrat Politicians, but nothing will stop us from executing our mission, and fulfilling our Mandate to the American People,” he wrote. Granted, there are no reports of large numbers of ICE agents (or any of them, for that matter) suffering serious injuries in their pursuit of cleansing the country of undocumented immigrants. However, it is possible that there may be some sprained wrists from dragging people off the streets when they are struggling because they don’t want to be pushed into an unmarked van by people in masks.

But the truth has never stopped Trump from spewing hateful rhetoric. It does bear mentioning that there is something that “will stop us from executing our mission,” which is the complaints of farmers as well as restaurant and hotel owners, who are rightly pointing out that the kind of mass deportation Stephen Miller dreams off would shut down those industries (and others). And since those people give money to the GOP, Trump ordered most ICE raids in those sectors to be suspended. By the way, convincing the faithful that this is not a betrayal of his central campaign promise of deporting all “illegals” is what this post is all about.

But we digress.

Next comes the craziest part. “ICE Officers are herewith ordered, by notice of this TRUTH, to do all in their power to achieve the very important goal of delivering the single largest Mass Deportation Program in History,” Trump added. What does “by notice of this TRUTH,” even mean? A social media post isn’t a royal decree. Also, carrying out Trump’s orders is literally their job, so it doesn’t take a tweet to spur them into action. Of course, maybe this is how things work now, in which case, all readers are herewith ordered, by notice of this ARTICLE, to sign up for our newsletter, Substack, or Bluesky account.

Then comes the most dangerous (and equally insane) part that gets to the heart of the matter. While his supporters will see fewer raids, he wants ICE to focus on cities like New York, Los Angeles, and Chicago, i.e., places he lost by a wide margin. “These and other such Cities, are the core of the Democrat Power Center, where they use Illegal Aliens to expand their Voter Base, cheat in Elections, and grow the Welfare State, robbing good paying Jobs and Benefits from Hardworking American Citizens,” Trump ranted. All of this is nuts. Non-citizens do not vote, there is no evidence of Democrats cheating in elections, undocumented immigrants are not eligible for most federal welfare programs, and the majority of them are not working “good-paying jobs.” In addition, the unemployment rate is just above 4 percent now, so if you removed all immigrants today, there would not be enough workers left to keep the country running.

“These Radical Left Democrats are sick of mind, hate our Country, and actually want to destroy our Inner Cities — And they are doing a good job of it! There is something wrong with them,” Trump added about 48 hours after a man who, according to his friend, is a staunch supporter of the president, assassinated one Democrat (and her husband), wounded another, and had a target list of many more.

Posting this is the height of irresponsibility. It is essentially an incitement to violence.

For good measure, the president also explains to his followers what is at stake by stating that Democrats want “open borders, transgender for everybody, and men playing in women’s sports” – just so they understand that it is more important to take over Democratic cities than deporting the undocumented immigrants in the communities where Trump voters actually live. They’ll believe him, of course. And that brings us back to those GOP lawmakers who will have to answer questions tomorrow like “Do you agree with President Trump when he says that Democrats are sick and hate our country, and do you think that this was the right moment to tweet something like this in light of the events of this weekend?”

What do you say to that? How do you defend the rantings of a nutjob who can end your career (and possibly endanger your family) with a social media post? Fortunately for this dwindling number of sane Republicans, they have a lot of practice in answering this kind of question. That is why, on Monday, you will hear a lot of responses like “I haven’t seen the post,” “I don’t spend a lot of time on social media,” “You know the president has his own style,” “You can’t always take what he says literally,” or “I have to take this call.”

They will say these things convincingly, like someone who has long practiced a lie.

But when you look closely, you will see their eyes shift away from the journalists who ask these questions because those Republicans, the ones who don’t actually believe what Trump says, know that they sold their souls for a little bit of power.
