We know the reason. RFK jr did him a solid, and he’s loyal. Trump has contempt for the positions in question as they’re his position to do as he pleases.

Its not incompetence its putting blind monkeys to prevent any stop to his agenda.

It should be obvious especially to Republicans. To confirm this moron says more about the confirmer than the monkey.

WASHINGTON (AP) — At the signing of the Laken Riley Act, President Donald Trump said Wednesday that he is directing the opening of a detention center at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba, to hold up to 30,000 migrants who are living illegally in the United States and cannot be deported to their home countries.
That's pretty cool, sort of like creating a sort of concentrated area or camp for the migrants. It's probably fine.

Sounds like a drain on resources. There's got to be a better Solution.

For national security purposes, they should also send political dissidents there so Trump can do his Holy Task of MAGA unimpeded.

At some point though, Americans will need some more living space when their society is a utopia and every woman is having 12 kids, so they should looking expanding north and south too.

I used to love being next to the U.S.—proximity for travel, world’s strongest military, opportunities for trade, that kind of thing. Now I see it as a curse. I genuinely worry Trump may invade us. Aussies live in a great country and far from the danger.

Depends if you're more scared of politicians or snakes, i guess.

I held a 10-foot python at the Australian Reptile Park so there’s your answer.

I was told by my Australian sister-in-law to stay still if I saw a snake. She followed this up with, “trust me, I’m Australian”.

45 minutes later, she jumps, screams “SNAKE!!!!!!!” And we (all six if us, including my then 9 year old son) scatter and run off like lunatics.

It was a brown snake - apparently very deadly.

But I guess we all survived.

I fail to see how culling Arsenal fans and, if we're being honest, the English...is Trump's fault?

Nothing new being said in this article.

The ridiculous part in this whole thing is that if fill up my vehicle right now with drugs, guns, trafficked women, raw meat, vegetables, etc, it is up to an American border guard to stop me from entering his country. Not Canada.

Is Trump expecting Canada to set up another border 100 feet from the actual border where we inspect people as they leave Canada?
