Reversal comes days after president posted on Truth Social his ‘very aggressive’ raids were hurting farmers and hotels
Donald Trump has abandoned his brief immigration and customs enforcement (Ice) reprieve for farm and hotel workers, ordering the agency’s raids in those sectors to resume after hardliners crushed a pause that lasted just four days.
The whiplash reversal, first reported by the Washington Post, exposes the dysfunction gripping the president’s deportation agenda, where competing advisers battle over policy while Trump lurches between contradictory positions.

I hate to say this, but as a Middle Easterner living in Africa, i'm genuinely laughing at America's docile descent into a racist authoritarian regime.

He was able to do this partially bc wars and death in Middle East are good distractions.
Both are sad.
Americans are pathetic, sure, but I don’t feel much to laugh about.

The number of US backed wars in the ME is one of the reasons the US population won't get much sympathy from that region. It's ironically funny

Where is the humor in hatred? What an absolutely odd thing to say.

Oh it's not hatred, it's just a statement, given how many countries were bombed by the US under the pretext of democracy, it's farsical that the US is now one of those regimes they bombed.

No mate, a racist authoritarian regime is indeed hatred.

If a factual statement is hatred then so be it. I stated a fact that is undeniable.

They were referring to the part about you laughing at it.

Irony is funny unfortunately. Anyone who lived in a country bombed by the US finds what's happening ironically funny. Truth is truly stranger than fiction.

We haven’t experienced that yet. Ask again once we do. Would president couch fucker be better or worse?
Almacca@aussie.zone · 1 pts · 1y
Way worse.

President "love thy couch" would get nothing done though, he has no party support, not even Trump takes him seriously and the guy is his VP.
While I agree JD could be dangerous if he were given a cabinet of bots, no way he could control the amount of ego that currently circles the White house right now, he has the charisma of a sharp stick in the eye.

Sounds like Trump had a TACO moment but then Herr Miller took control and righted the Reich

Smells like rotting food all across America.

With more farm subsidies no doubt. And probably only for the corporate farms, not the family farms that actually need it after Trump deports all their legal migrant workers.

And tariffs preventing imports from other countries. Trump better step up the circuses.

Count down until Trump signs executive order demand all federal and state prisoners learn turndown service and how to pick strawberries without brushing them.

Either that, or ICE detention centers will become forced labor camps.

Making sure that absolutely nobody will show up for harvest, even if they actually pause raids when the crop yields start to rot on the fields.

Did he just chicken out from chickening out?
ChaoticEntropy@feddit.uk · 10 pts · 1y
Because he's not in charge and is barely engaged at all. Whoever spoke to him last is in charge for that brief window, then it's the next sociopath who walks in.
He's always viewed the presidency as an honorary position where he wouldn't have to do much work.
