The White House has dug in on its refusal to return a man who US officials have acknowledged was wrongly deported last month from Maryland to an El Salvador mega-prison.
Press secretary Karoline Leavitt doubled down on accusations that Salvadoran national Kilmar Ábrego García was a member of the MS-13 gang, which his lawyer denies.
Leavitt also accused the 29-year-old of domestic violence, citing records showing his US citizen wife once filed a protective order against him.
A Maryland judge has ordered President Donald Trump’s administration to bring Mr Ábrego García back to the US. But El Salvador President Nayib Bukele said on a visit to the White House this week that he did not “have the power” to return him.
Got to admit, he’s accomplished a shit ton in his first 100 days already, way more than basically any president in history.
He’s doing a fantastic job of destroying the country in every single way simultaneously. Not just destroying the democracy directly, but all American influence and soft power worldwide. He has already managed to do more damage to America than any terrorist attacks ever could have imagined, in record time.
His handlers and controllers had 4 years (or 10+) to plan for this. He’s just the meat puppet in front of the camera signing all the orders.
See, that’s very true… but he clearly is doing some shit on his own. The tariffs serve no useful purpose, not for political gain, or for the billionaires, it is actually bad for them. They’re stuck trying to ride the wild and unplanned market volatility from the inconsistencies and rollbacks.
If anything, it seems like that’s the shiny thing they’re letting him focus on so he doesn’t do other stupid shit that gets in the way of the actual plans.
I imagine the stuff he’s doing on his own are the more whacky things like shower head pressure
Pfft they are buying low and selling high. Trump tells them his next move. Insider trading to make millions.
Or just buying absurdly low to consolidate power once the market recovers
The tariffs destroyed the US dollar and legitimized China cutting the world off from rare earth metals. It also did a reverse pump and dump so Trump and friends could insider trade the whole thing.
The tariffs absolutely accomplished something. Just nothing in the interests of anyone but those who want the US weakened or are happy to get paid to help do that.
There’s an argument that the war on terror gave rise to Trump, so in a way Bin Laden gets to claim this.
Who do you think gave rise to Bin Laden? It all goes back to the US government’s inability to govern
I’m not sure that the famous US military is keeping Americans safe. Crazy as it may be, sometimes a big military makes you a target.
Nah, Bin Laden couldn’t do this. He didn’t own media empires or any kind of business in America. The likes of Thiel, Musk, Trump, DeSantis, and so forth are the true architects of America’s death. They are the embodiment of the saying…
“Better to rule over hell, than to serve in heaven.”
If he could he would probably be laughing real hard right now, at the very least.
Both of the global powers he fought during his lifetime are extremely busy at destroying themselves at an accelerated speed.
Meanwhile everyone else suffers.
