The president exists in a dystopian fantasy world with no connection to reality

The US constitution clearly includes protests as a form of protected free speech. Trump is trying to use the insurrection act because he's a dictator, not because there is insurrection or rebellion in LA. The last time there was an insurrection worthy of invoking this act was on 1/6/2021.

He's deliberately using terms that imply that the US is at war. He's getting ready to declare martial law, announce a cancellation of future elections, and begin unlimited use of the military against the people of the US. We're in a dark place.

He’s not always precise with language. But, he & they are using “invasion” and similar terms VERY deliberately. This is the rhetoric of the El Paso massacre & how they attempt to justify mass deportation. ICE & the administration are in the wrong here & escalating unnecessarily.

I think the name "Los Angeles" is of spanish origin. As a true authorian and one that dislikes anything with mexican connotations I think its time Trump renamed the city. How about "Trump City", or maybe "Trumptown", or to honor a great authoritarian tradition, he could call it "Trumpingrad".

It is not a coincidence that there has been a massive move of military hardware & vehicles in the last 48 hours. The Birthday parade is cover of the weekest type. His very specific language (supplied by Miller & Bannon) is a giveaway.

A world of his -and his minions’ making. Practiced it during the first term and working hard to make it a reality. Do not be fooled. The Emperor still wears no clothes.

Yeah it’s time to cut the crap and call it what it is, this is an attack on democracy, and the budget Trump is proposing is undeniable theft from MILLIONS of taxpayers who want to feed poor babies via SNAP, not give billionaires ANOTHER huge tax cut to get more money they will literally never spend.

This sounds like a declaration of war against Los Angeles, against the American people and it’s citizens. Where is the Democrat/Opposition leadership? They must protect the citizens from the President

This is the 21st century version of the Nazi's "international Jewish conspiracy" and unfortunately many of the same sorts of people will believe it that did then.

There are ~951K undocumented people in greater LA, 68% of whom have lived here > 10 yrs. They are our neighbors & friends. Polls show ~65% of Americans do not want people like this deported. The "evil criminal" thing? They arrested 5 gang members in this sweep- FIVE. He's talking out his butt.

Not sure but he did pardon over 100 actual insurrectionists that attacked the Capitol, paraded confederate flags through the halls of congress, smashed a police officer in the face with a fire hydrant, and beat another officer unconscious using a U.S. flag pole.

He pardoned these "patriots" claiming they were being treated unfairly by a biased & weaponized justice system & that their actions were motivated by a desire to defend democracy. 140 officers were injured, with concussions, bruises, chemical irritation, cracked ribs, spinal damage, & head trauma.

Lots of studies detail that the actual undocumented migrants are highly unlikely to become gang affiliated. Which is not true for their children, though gang affiliation is generally thought to be down since the 1990s.

STFU, Donny. Your actions are designed to cause injury and likely death because you want to make a political statement. Any injuries and/or deaths caused by your acions will be on you.

Yes. Big Macs have 🎶 two all beef patties, special sauce, LETTUCE, cheese, PICKLES (cucumbers), ONIONS, on a sesame seed bun. 🎶🎶. See, he does eat vegetables! 😝😂😝

Now the song is in my head. Thanks. That said, I can totally see him telling them to take that off. This is the man who thinks humans are like batteries with a finite energy supply so that's why he doesn't work out. But, he's still kicking and my dad died of the flu at 57. So hey.

Sadly, it’s the reality of millions who only experience other cities and coasts thru the lens of FOX et al. They’re living in and furious at this nonexistent reality that fuels their hate and gives comfort to their hypocrisy.

Old white guy who lives in Long Beach (LA County) here: He might as well be declaring that the Sun is rising in the West. There is not one iota of reality in this post. DJT is a very sick little man.

guaranteed this is a warning for anyone not celebrating dictator b-day & instead attending a no kings rally-many positioned near fed bldgs, there are no riots in LA, they’re civilian street protests & agents firing tear gas & rubber bullets at them are attempting & failing at creating a situation

“Migrant invasion…” like every migrant in Los Angeles got there within the last 2 months. There’s lots of statistics-but seems important to know that about 50% of LA county is Hispanic & most are citizens-so who is he referring to? www.census.gov/quickfacts/f... calmatters.org/newsletter/c...

calmatters.orgTwo ways California aids undocumented immigrantsRepublicans may be softening opposition to health care for undocumented California immigrants, but not many have been hired as cops.

Either he's delusional, or he's fomenting hatred and activating armed action against peaceful protesters. Whether it's the former (25th amendment) or the latter (impeachment), he needs to go.

China's Tiananmen Square, LA's Venice Beach, where to next #TACO #Trump? Do you plan on turning #America 's cities into rubble sans Gaza? I think the majority of the #American public can now see that they really fucked up in electing you mate! Of the 173 countries in the UN, 172 see you as a moron!

I texted my ex that I found the government tyranny he claimed he needed his guns for, and he replied that they were just trying to stop people attempting a jailbreak. These people are not living in the same reality.

"Migrant riots?" WTF. We used to live together pretty peacefully until this unfit phony was "bought" into office! Tramp has "migrants" working @ Mar-a-Slag-ho and on his golf properties. The hypocrisy is ripping my heart apart!

“Thank you for your attention to this matter”. Is that his cool sign off? Is it supposed to be like Murrow’s “Goodnight and good luck”? Or Cronkite’s “And that’s the way it is”? How about “I’m just here for shits and giggles because I don’t give a single fuck”?

“Thank you for your attention to this matter” - is this his cool sign off phrase? Is it supposed to be like Edward R Murrow’s “Good night and good luck” or Walter Cronkite’s

It makes sense that Trump is escalating immigration enforcement; it’s the only issue he’s not underwater on in the polls. The only one. Let’s not help him out by rioting, looting, setting fires etc. Peaceful, continual protest always & everywhere.

Trump's now signature sign-off, "Thank you for your attention to this matter", sounds like the email the smarmy office manager sends Friday afternoon reminding everyone to clear out the fridge before leaving for the weekend.

When Trump writes, you'll see a lot more random capitalization, multiple exclamation marks, shitty nicknames, toddler vocabulary and it'll always revolve around him and those he perceives as hostile or insufficiently loyal.

It really reminds me of the crap Birchers used to write when they sent letters to the editor back when I was a kid. Just depressing that those idiots finally managed to take over the whole damned country.

Trump's ghost writer wrote "Art of the Deal", but if Trump had written it himself, he might have titled it, "How to Turn Daddy's Large Fortune into a Small Fortune". Trump was really good at that until he hit on his current Grift, the White House Mafia. An Unreality Show.

That closing is meant to imply your obligation to a matter, and thus the dedication of your time and energy to it, which will surely never be repaid, and deny you your impulse to print it out and joyfully urinate on the output.

NO, Aaron! Your comment is disinformation. Trump & his appointees know exactly what they're doing. He doesn't live in an altered state. The leaders, CEOs, head of organizations are the ones living in a fantasy land of denial. Trump is OBVIOUSLY & INTENTIONALLY directing the dismantling of the USA.

People were going about their lives before Trump, now in a short few months, families are separated, kids handcuffed and searched, graduations and immigration check-ins are raided. I would like to see business owners held to account if their employees are detained.

Remember the George Floyd protests, when Trump set the National Guard on Americans for a photo-op in front of St John’s Church? “Norah O'Donnell: What specifically was he suggesting that the U.S. military should do to these protesters?

Unfortunately, reality residents are not the target audience for this. To the vast majority of Fox viewers, this is what's happening, reinforced by dramatic editing and constant repetition. They're being primed into a them-against-us panic to get them to support ICE going lethal.

I know one thing Trump is NOT calling the shots ! Project 2025 bros and Miller are ! Trump is nothing more than the face of it all but someone else is pulling his strings and he is too oblivious to know it or to care! Military will be next just like proj 2025 calls out on page 555!

More precisely, he wants us to believe we're living an a dystopian fantasy so he has an excuse to pull out all the stops and declare himself king of all that is unholy/unjust.

“…you’ve got to fight like hell…and now we’re going to march to the Capitol…” It looks like he’s doing a different version of this again…w/ a heap-ton more resources this time.

Will Main Stream Media cover & counter this post with facts? Film & photos of peaceful protests readily available. The real revolution we need requires an engaged media willing to challenge, investigate, & report objectively with context in real time. MSM traded journalism for clickbaiting pundits.

Fact Check: claim LA is "once great" suggests a decline not supported by current economic and cultural data Fact Check: Protests not cite-wide by localised in a few areas Analysis: Trump's directive threatens US state autonomy, and the Union, overstepping federal authority

They’re testing, probing, for a reaction. Spoiling for a fight to push martial law. They’ll arrest/remove Newsom on some trumped up charge (pun intended) & put some spineless shit-heal in his place and ensure the money keeps flowing out of California. It’s a metaphorical and literal hostile takeover
