He deserves whatever justice he gets in whatever form it takes. I’m an American and he’s destroyed my country.

strictly speaking the people that voted for him, wrecked your country. they should have voted better. this afterall was round 2 not round 1

CharleneElizabethBaltimore · 28/04/2026 03:25

besides i dont think trump was the person of interest in this case

You should be ashamed of yourself.
Repellent.

You should be ashamed of yourself for supporting the ruination of my country by allowing millions of unvetted people invade my homeland. This is why Trump was elected,

I’d totally vote for a Democrat if they seriously supported mass deportations (and they used to be harder on this, because it was Republicans that used to import cheap labor. It was actually the Clinton admin that established ICE)

I voted for the person I believed would improve my country. And that person was Trump. He could be going harder on mass deportations however.

Whats your heritage? those of your family friends?

Just wonder who vetted the vast majority of who came to the USA over the last 300 years.

Not saying there shouldn't be immigration controls but the way ICE have gone about and the total lack of sympathy from Trump for US citizens they have shot dead, is way beyond how a civilised country should act and behave.

We are entitled to be picky about who we allow in our country, and not just let anyone who breaks through the border to stay. They are not likely to have good character.

I mean, is that something you would do? Go
to, say, Japan, stay there and refuse to leave even after being told to do so? Does that seem like a good thing? Wouldn’t they be entitled to haul your ass out of there?

Or are you so arrogant that you would put up endless appeals? What would that say about you?

Quote ". It was actually the Clinton admin that established ICE)"

Except it was not. It was Bush.

What president started ICE? (factually.co)

Summary of that :

President George W. Bush signed the Homeland Security Act of 2002, which created the Department of Homeland Security and—through that reorganization—led directly to the establishment of Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE), with the new agency opening in March 2003 [1] [2]. The functions ICE now carries out, however, trace back through more than a century of U.S. immigration and customs institutions such as the Immigration and Naturalization Service and the U.S. Customs Service [3] [4].

I removed the links from that clip, but it's all in the factually article

Clinton created the role that ICE took over from the INS with the Illegal Immigration Reform and Immigrant Responsibility Act (IIRAIRA). It was just reshuffled under Bush after the creation of the DHS after 9/11. Their actual roles/responsibilities and methods were enacted with Clinton’s legislation.

So factually is wrong ?

No need for that comment at all. People like you stir up hatred....l am no fan but really?

PurplishGemstones · 28/04/2026 08:46

There seem to be quite a few Americans who somehow seem to be under the impression that this is a US website, and that this thread is a US left vs US right discourse

American defaultism. It's rife on some social media.

I think those MAGA-morons might want to realize that most of the reactions in here are coming from citizens of countries who the US - under Trump - has repeatedly threatened

Quite.

Thw irony is this discourse would be banned in the US, too anti trump. They would have it shut down to control the narrative that their leader is perfect. North Korea vibes anyone.

Interesting. I didn't take MN for a load of conspiracy theorists. I totally believe it was real, the lefties hate him so much they have TDS. I think everyone needs to sit back a bit and take a breather.

Putting conspiracies aside. If DT was under such a severe threat from the left and radicalised sleepers, why on earth is his security so weak? Had that been a group of people who hated him with machine guns, bombs,they have had no problems entering the building. Tickets were not checked, no identification was requested, hotel rooms were open for the public. Absolutely crazy set up. Of course people were will think WTF is happening.

What you are completely ignoring is that djt has lied, deflected, and misinformed from day 1. He has also called all media , unless it agrees with him ,fake news. So its fascinating that once 'the other side' start saying 'fake news' it becomes an assault on them, a conspiracy, the looney left and my absolute favourite... tds....a good indicator of the lack of a coherent argument.

This is why the president keeps having people taking pot shots at him. Utter incompetence.

https://youtube.com/shorts/IVVQWHwGeL4?si=3PZnSpZvvhrjwMJH

Every president regardless of dem or republican has attempts but it relies on competent people around them to ensure that theyre thwarted at the earliest point. Instead what we have is kash Patel 'director' of the the fbi standing with his mobile in the immediate aftermath of the incident. They have fired all the competent and questioning longstanding servicemen because the trump administration can't take the pushback or questioning of the illegality of their actions.

Unreasonable comment. The shooter has been interviewed. People could have died.

PurplishGemstones · 28/04/2026 11:00

I wonder - and this is quite tin foil hat, I accept - whether he has a cohort of vulnerable men, who think theyre doing their 'patriotic duty' to Trump by taking the rap for these non events?

I absolutely believe there are people who would do that.

No it wouldn’t. The Boomerposting on FaceBook is full of this rot. Nobody is trying to censor it

TopPocketFind · 28/04/2026 12:18

Cesar Sayoc, a Trump super fan & obsessive Fox viewer, sent pipe bombs in 2018 to Barack Obama, Joe Biden, Hillary Clinton, & many other top Dems.

He was sentenced to 20 years in prison.

In the wake of the attacks, Trump said about his rhetoric: "Tone down, no. Could tone up."

On the day trump asked for Jimmy Kimmel to be fired ...again. All media and TV companies are becoming monopolised by trump friendly CEOs....and then there's the niggly issue of the censorship of the Epstein files. Nora ODonnell caught him short on that one today though! 😆

Incompetence. Kash Patel who seemed more intent on phoning his errant girlfriend that directing anyone after the 'shooting'.
The doors to the hotel were being held open by the hotel staff. Watch my previous posts link. Prior to the 'attack' a couple of fox employees were caught on camera laughing at how lax the whole thing was.
Commentators have come.on speaking about previous WHCDs and the difference in the level of security .

Obama had over 11 attempts on his life foiled

Don’t let Trump know that - he would have a meltdown such is his obsession with Obama!
