Trump does complete 180 on mass deportations, NYTimes calls it a "shift in focus."

"The Trump administration has abruptly shifted the focus of its mass deportation campaign, telling Immigration and Customs Enforcement officials to largely pause raids and arrests in the agricultural industry, hotels and restaurants, according to an internal email and three U.S. officials with knowledge of the guidance."

https://www.nytimes.com/2025/06/13/us/politics/trump-ice-raids-farms-hotels.html?smid=nytcore-ios-share&referringSource=articleShare

It's hard to imagine that if a Democratic president did a complete 180 on their signature policy—and openly admitted that it had been a disastrous failure— it would be described as a “shift in focus.”

The lack of basic criticism of the Orange Anus for things that would be considered HUGE disasters if a Dem POTUS did it, will always piss me off.

More than anything, he had convinced himself that he was something special. Ukraine, Gaza, and now Iran show he is a fool.

about the problem, they just want the theater of abusing immigrants as red meat for their nasty voters. When business owners start to squeal, they back off.
