"The Trump administration has been working steadily to remove protected status
for asylum seekers that even Trump admits are deadly “shitholes.” Trump makes
claims about countries that seem to indicate they’re too dangerous to live in,
but then insists there’s no reason we shouldn’t be allowed to deport migrants
to places where they’re likely to be tortured, killed, or just maybe starve to
death.
When justifying his war with Iran (which he still won’t officially state is a
“war” because that means he’d have to start seeking permission from Congress to
engage in future military action), Trump often pointed out how poorly the
radical Islamist government treated its own citizens. In fact, he borrowed
language from multiple presidential executive orders (including ones not
composed by his second presidential administration) to justify doing whatever
the fuck he wanted in terms of military attacks on Iran."
