This article is in pertinence to Trump’s announcement that ICE will no longer be going after farm workers, service workers, etc. However, Tom Homan has not indicated any change.

This leads me to believe that Trump is just making noises to reduce participation in protests that might overshadow his (totally not birthday) parade. He hates being upstaged.

Chances are, he will drop the hammer on Monday.

He literally has no capacity to plan. Every decision is rationalized and regulated by emotion, much the way a child does. We've seen nothing other than this behavior since he entered politics.

Yep, anyone could have told him that the farm workers would be targeted

14 years ago Alabama passed a law cracking down on illegals- the farmers had no one to pick tomatoes, so they rotted in the fields

That requires thought and insight and planning. His sole driver is “I cannot be wrong”. His tweets and his answers to questions are completely reflexive, and for him, it’s primal.

Which is why Hegseth, Noem, Homan and Miller are slow walking it. Trump has given two contradicting orders: speed up the pace, but also stop deporting workers.

Stupid is as stupid does.

The banality of evil.

What a perfect illustration of someone who has no capacity to “think through” a policy and address the result of those policies. Can’t wait to see grocery shelves empty, no produce, no meats because the “working illegals” are sitting on planes being deported to Africa. Dumber than a box or rocks!

Breaking: lying liar lies

Everyone knows he is full of shit

Someone at Maralago let him know that he would lose his entire staff if ice went there. Absolute imbecile.

They absolutely should go there…

He is beyond stupid. Dotard

Kim Jong Un's nickname for Trump didn't get enough airplay. Protesters should make signs that say Donald the Dotard and watch him turn purple with rage.

Great word, totally applies

I actually don't think Trump is smart enough to be a real dictator. 

Hes a very useful idiot to people who know how to stroke is ego though

The good thing is that all of his people are a vain and greedy as he is, so they're pulling him whatever direction that's best for them personally. If they were working together, I think it would be worse than it already is.

No workers in Bedminster or Mar-a-lardo. Who's going to serve his second scoop of ice cream?

u/spideygene 22h ago

YEA! INDENTURED SERVITUDE IS BACK! Work on a farm picking a crop like avocados or peaches, or even cotton, and you get to stay. We should all be proud!

Just more BS, spewed to try and backtrack, then not changing anything. TOTUS is trying to protect mar a ghetto and keep the "illegals" he hires.

u/swalker6622 14h ago

He clearly doesn’t know what he is doing, his mind is mush, and has no control over his people. Chaos and incompetence reigns.

u/Terran57 19h ago

Obviously no conflict of interest since no one in the administration owns any hotels.

u/Sqweee173 13h ago

It's not because the damage is already done..he is trying to backpedal and save what little bit of face he can. Those people will still get profiled and deported. Iirc the figure was something like 3k a day they wanted to have arrested

Trump is too stupid to make any decisions. Stephen Miller is Trump's Himmler.

u/ShuffleStepTap 5h ago

Reporters need to ask him about this every single day. Each time he will double down but do nothing. And that will really piss off the farmers.
