Since when does Trump offer an explanation for the crazy power grabbing shit he does?

When he does, it's always fighting fraud and abuse, illegal immigrants or antisemitism anyway.

The wisdom that a stupid population is easier to govern/to take advantage of has rarely been truer and more obvious than now.

He makes English the official language then removes money from programs that teach English?

Actually guys I just went in the back and checked the constitution and he is allowed to just do that.
