An excellent opinion piece, and very clever in noting ironies of this administration, which "administers" exclusively to Trump's need for flattery, attention, and power to be used as a weapon to terrorize those he loathes (which turns out to be most people!). It is Shalises' command of language that makes this a joy to read. She thrusts daggers of truth in Trump's direction. A fantastic read!

“I don’t want them in our country. Their country is no good for a reason. Their country stinks, and we don’t want them in our country. We’re going to go the wrong way if we keep taking garbage into our country,” Trump claimed.

Pretty sure this is what Canadians would be saying about Americans right about now ... if they weren't largely decent people.

We also need to put out what he said and point out how disgusting it is and insist on an apology to Omar

Go back to your own Country has been a tried and true theme for White Nationalists for the last 150 years in the United States. The Felon and JD Vance are showing he's part of the white trash of America.

On the subject of face eating leopards, just today Trump announced he wants to give farmers $12billion to help them out after he ate their face with his insane tariffs.

I guess you only get these Band-Aids if you look more like Trump. The racism really is appalling.

I love the "Drowsy Don" moniker. In future, I think I will refer to him as "convicted felon Drowsy Don."

When it comes to reacting to this president's cruel, hateful, uninformed, bigoted statements, words fail.

I can't wrap my head around the fact that this lunatic was elected to lead this country. It will take years to repair the damage he is doing to this country and its people. I am appalled.

Thanks Shalise for this excellent piece. Your viewpoint and your work is VITAL in these steep dark times.
