So how does that work since he's turned the US into a third world country?
- Nobody in or out. North Korea style.
  
  They're certainly trying to trap all trans people inside for some reason. I say this as a trans citizen who fled and is still getting fucked over by their passport policies.
- I live in a poor war-torn country. We don't have many immigrants but those immigrants who still come to us (our education is miraculously still not destroyed by our esteemed masters) are behaving nice. The "secret" is obvious: let students, engineers, etc in and keep bandits out.
  
  But they can’t add skin colour requirements yet, hence - no immigration for all.

I kind of wonder if the shooting was planned when looking at the facts
shooter background was an Afghan CIA operative
shooter was vetted and given asylum by Trump administration in April 2025
months ago Trump deployed National Guard to DC without justification citing "crime", despite crime rates dropping
a week ago, a judge ruled the National Guards deployment in DC was unlawful and he lacked authority or cause for it
two days ago, operative shoots 2 guardsmen not far from white house and immediately surrenders
Trump and Hegseth immediately respond saying not only are the national guards presence there legitimate and justified, but they are activating 500 more to head to DC
Curious.
- Don’t forget that less than 24 hours earlier there were the reports about potentially firing kash.
- I’ve no doubt in my mind that this was entirely purposeful. Just like his “attempted assassination”. I’m fully convinced that that kid was promised a load of cash and had no idea he’d be taken out.
- Well said. I for one am all in in this being planned by the trump administration at some level
- Both National Guards had been sworn in just 24 hours prior.
  Edit: Looks like it was corrected.
  "During the press conference on Thursday, Pirro said the two Guardsmen were sworn in 24 hours prior to being shot. A joint task force spokesperson later said the two Guard members were deputized less than 24 hours before the shooting to "maintain their status to conduct presence patrols," according to a joint task force spokesperson."

  Gonna need a source because that's definitely not how it normally works. If true that's wild.
  Edit: a cursory Google says they were in DC since August, so this is most likely bullshit. Also to reiterate, that's not how any of that works.

But we are a third world country… Last month there were churches all over the world raising money to help feed American children while our government was shut down and couldn’t help cover subsidies for food.
Make it make sense 🤡🌎
- Third world means "brown people country" to him, that's how it makes sense for them. Almost every question about why this administration does or says anything can be answered with "racism" or "pedofilia".
  
  "third world" is an outdated Cold War term that referred to countries that weren't aligned with either the US or USSR.
  It's loosely bandied about these days to indicate an undeveloped country. Out of the developed countries, the US cares the least about its citizens. But anyone who thinks it isn't a developed country hasn't been to undeveloped one.

Clearly that was one of the goals

Does he even have that power? I feel that’s a very important question that no one is asking.
- Per all his bullshit. He can get a little done until the courts stop him, then endless legal battles. He has no real policy and it all can be erased by the next admin.
  
  Then he can keep doing it even if the court blocks it because "defies court order" is the most common phrase proceeding "Trump DOJ".
  
  In the same way that I can resume making a desk that i began carving 3 years ago, after running my wood chipper continuously for the last 3 years, destroying all of my lumber. It’s not just building the table, it’s finding new sources for materials, motivation, resetting tools, remembering plans. He’s loaded president 48 with labors. None of them Herculean but all of them frustrating and time consuming.
- It's a question that doesn't matter, since he doesn't give a shit and nobody is stopping him.
  
  That doesn’t make the question any less important, it just makes the rest of us all the worst for ignoring it
  And that is why he gets away with it
  
  It does matter and soon it will matter a lot 👌
- Who is going to stop him? Congress aint doing shit. Maybe the courts will rule against them but who is going to enforce the ruling?
  
  The people. Time to rise up, no?

permanent
pause
Pick one.
Does he even know what words mean?
- Does he even know what words mean?
  Some maybe, most probably not.
  
  You can tell when he learns a new word because he's like a first-grader and wants to tell everyone the "new" thing he just found out about.
  Groceries, affordability, magnets ... The list of basic concepts he's learning at 79 is kind of shocking.
- Both he and he’s loyalists think he defeated a hurricane with a sharpie. I’m not really sure we all exist in the same reality as they do.

So this was staged?
- The former CIA asset who was just recently granted asylum? Yeah, it’s a false flag.
- Of course it was. Just like all previous attempts to get the American people angry enough to revolt. They'll keep doing it until they have enough justification to issue complete nation wide martial law. The end goal here is to get the country to the point where the administration and republican party decides that holding elections are "unsafe" until "all this blows over" thus granting the cheeto a third term. It's about solidify power for the next several decades.
  Someone read the Watchmen and took it as a playbook.
  
  That would certainly explain why the administration leaned so heavily on Zelenskyy to allow for elections. It wasn't (only?) because Putin told them to, but also because the obvious refusal would serve as later explanation for the potential indefinite delay in voting in America.
  
  Of course it was.
  Based on what? Stop making us look as stupid as they are.
- No. Please don't be as stupid as Trump supporters.

Does this whole scenario seem sus to anyone else? There was NOTHING about this on Wednesday and by the time I saw reporting on Thursday they'd already resolved thr situation, somehow captured the guy without killing him (he's got the wrong skin colour to be captured alive), and spun the whole thing into their typical escalation of anti-immigrant rhetoric.
Am I slow in hearing about this, or did they work with this formar governmental collaborator? Seems like a false flag?
- Sadly everything that’s happening during this administration is highly questionable, even if it’s 100% legit it will always come with a shitload of questions.
- that or manchurian candidate patsy
- Did you see the reports of his name being Google searched over 100 times in DC before the shooting?
  
  No, do you have a link?
- Lol, what the fuck? Literally nothing you said is hard to believe.
  
  It's not "hard to believe" per se, it's just uncharacteristic for how law enforcement in this country tends to work. There are a lot of shootings here for data points, so it'd be interesting to see alive arrest rates for active shooters across all metrics/demographics.

'Permanently Pause' seems like a oxymoron
- Yeah that would be ending it, stopping it, banning it. Permanently pause is weasel language that they like to complain about.
- nah, they're a full moron

Should be noted that his justification is a lunatic the CIA hired and then brought back from Afghanistan.
- Should be noted this is a lunatic brought back from Afghanistan, who Trump threatened to vet refugees from before the attack. If returned back to Afghanistan now would likely be put to death. That adds a lot of fear into these people. And life and death level of fear is dangerous.

Including South africa?

Shit...
Hole....
Country....

Orange twat is turning THIS COUNTRY into a third world country...

If only there was a word to express something is "permanently paused", but shorter. more concise.
- Weird how language works. There's so many words for so many things but I certainly can't think of anything that could express "permanently paused" in a better, more concise way....
  /s (if it wasn't obvious)

Trump couldn't even accurately describe what a third world country is. He's a special needs toddler trying to do a 4 pc puzzle of a much more complex picture.
- Except we all know what he means by third world: brown.
  
  Careful or hell send the military after his diapers.

I am getting whiplash from how quickly this man contradicts his own statements

Oh, so its the Muslin Ban: Part 2

United Whites of America strikes again

He should stop migration from every single Red Oblast in the USA, they're all beyond 3rd World.

Aren't some of these people needing to come in became 'Merica bombed the crap out of their country?

Anyone can say "permanently".

So... no more Irish or Norwegian immigrants?

Coz that makes sense

The problrm couldn't possibly be the fact that in the US you can buy guns at Wal-Mart...

Bastard gets another reason to be a bigger asshole.

Because the US is a third world country?

No, he didn't stage it to stop immigration. Like this is an every day stuff.
\ No one is trying to change narratives, me good them bad. Take example of Charlie Kirk.
- Are you missing a /s
