The murder by an Afghan of a member of the National Guard in Washington, D.C., has freed Donald Trump to launch into xenophobic overdrive.
In other words, he got an early Christmas present.
"I will permanently pause migration from all Third World Countries to allow the U.S. system to fully recover, terminate all of the millions of Biden illegal admissions, including those signed by Sleepy Joe Biden’s Autopen, and remove anyone who is not a net asset to the United States," Trump posted late on Thanksgiving, a holiday that celebrates immigration.Our leading nativist also said the government would deport any foreign national who's "non-compatible with Western Civilization." Trump himself isn't compatible with any form of civilization. Letting him define Western civilization is like handing the job to a combination of Al Capone and Liberace.
His jingoistic hysterics are meant to feed his base, in the hope that while they froth and seethe they won't notice how prices continue to rise. Trump's approval ratings have cratered to a record low. His frenzied bigotry will likely boost his numbers.
For a while. Until Christmas shoppers realize that their budget can no longer stretch to a Marvel Spider-Man VenomVersus Spider-Man Liquid Shifter Action Figure with Accessories.
