Trump voter IN TEARS after Trump ARRESTS his employees

Vincent Scardina, a Trump-supporting Florida roofing company owner, broke down after ICE detained a third of his Nicaraguan workers—despite their valid work permits and clean records. He believed immigration crackdowns would target criminals, not law-abiding employees, revealing a painful case of buyer’s remorse. The incident underscores how Trump’s immigration agenda was always meant to be broad and punitive, with cruelty as a feature, not a flaw.

Trump unleashes BONKERS conspiracy theory

Donald Trump falsely claimed that protesters in Los Angeles opposing ICE raids and his taxpayer-funded military parade were "paid agitators," echoing a long-standing authoritarian tactic to delegitimize dissent by framing it as inauthentic. This narrative serves to justify state crackdowns and military deployments, despite the protests being peaceful. Trump’s refusal to accept genuine public opposition reflects his deeper fear of unpopularity.

From yesterday’s show:

Massive RECORD-SETTING protests THIS WEEKEND, on Trump’s birthday

Donald Trump is staging a massive military parade in Washington, D.C. on his 79th birthday, under the guise of honoring the Army’s 250th anniversary. Featuring tanks, helicopters, and 7,000 troops, the event resembles authoritarian displays seen in North Korea or Russia and is widely seen as a personal show of power. Trump has threatened peaceful protesters with a “very big force,” further stoking fears of an anti-democratic spectacle.

Trump suffers acute delusions in Truth Social meltdown

Donald Trump falsely claimed on Truth Social that he and the military saved Los Angeles from chaos, even though city officials never requested military intervention and the protests have been largely peaceful. He also promoted his so-called “big, beautiful bill,” claiming it would save $1.6 trillion, without mentioning that its tax cuts would add $3–4 trillion to the deficit. His supporters repeat the talking points, ignoring the actual numbers and legal questions surrounding his actions.
