The Official Trump is Doing Awesome Thread

[Winehole23]

The Trump administration's detention of undo ented spouses and parents of active-duty service members comes as the U.S. is at war with Iran, leaving troops without the support of their families and shifting their focus away from their military careers, advocacy groups say. Some have been forced to take leave from duty to care for their children in their spouses' absence, according to advocacy groups and families ABC News interviewed.


"There are so many military families of active-duty service members that are living in the shadows of this immigration machine, that is putting them in fear of seeking resources and asking for help, while their service member is actively serving our country, and sacrificing for our nation," said James of Repatriate Our Patriots.

The Department of Homeland Security said in a statement that Border Patrol agents arrested Luis Aviles on Saturday in Key West and that he will remain in ICE custody while the government seeks to deport him.


“Having a family member in the military is not a free pass to violate our nation’s laws,” the department said Sunday, adding that the Trump administration “does not pick and choose which laws to enforce.”

Trump signs order renaming Lake Ontario as ‘Lake America’ in the United States


WASHINGTON (AP) — President Donald Trump said Thursday he is renaming Lake Ontario to be known as “Lake America” in the United States as he escalates his trade war with Canada.

The Republican president signed an executive order directing the Interior Department to update the lake’s name in the U.S. geographic naming service. Trump cannot force Canada to follow his preferred naming convention, however.

Trump has been floating the idea of the name change in recent days as the U.S. announced it was imposing 50% tariffs on $20 billion worth of Canadian goods over the weekend after talks between the countries broke down. Trump has been needling America’s northern neighbor since he returned to the White House last year, suggesting the ally with whom the U.S. once had warm relations should instead be absorbed as the 51st state.

Canada responded to Trump’s import taxes this week by imposing retaliatory tariffs on $20 billion worth of American goods, including steel, dairy products, appliances and farm equipment.

Lake Ontario was named before Canada existed as a country, it's a native word. What we know as Canada was New France at the time.

a Canadian view

sounds ridiculous, but "Lake Ontario" is a term with bilateral legal significance

The Welland Canal runs through Ontario connecting Lake Erie to Lake Ontario. Since Lake Ontario no longer exists, I guess we can close the canal to American traffic.

“Gabriel García Márquez’s novel The Autumn of the Patriarch is about an unnamed dictator, an illiterate who rises to power and brutally takes control of a country. … The ‘autumn’ in the le refers to the corrupt patriarch’s physical and mental decay, his growing paranoia, his psychological isolation, and his inability to form genuine human connections. He surrounds himself with sycophants, creating a false reality, complete with fake news and newspapers, including a single copy of the national daily newspaper — the news rewritten to please him, created only for the dictator. He needs it to maintain his ‘throne of illusions.’”



“Ultimately, we know, thrones of illusion do collapse,” Wehner added, “and not only in novels.”

Trump will not commemorate 9/11 in person, reportedly because political speeches aren't allowed and he can't be the center of attention

President Donald Trump, a native New Yorker, will forgo a visit to ground zero for the 25th anniversary of the September 11 terror attacks to instead mark the occasion with remarks at the Pentagon, two people briefed on the plans tell CNN.

Trump is not attending the ceremony that will be held at the World Trade Center in part because he wants to deliver remarks, the people familiar with his plans said.

Politicians have long not been permitted to speak at the event in New York.

The president’s team had initially discussed having him travel to New York City for the anniversary of the attacks, the sources said, with early plans having Trump attend the memorial ceremony at ground zero.

However, the National September 11 Memorial and Museum, which runs the event and oversees the site, has prevented politicians from speaking there since 2012, noting their commitment to remaining nonpartisan. Trump, the sources said, told his team he wanted to give a speech, which led to the change in plans.

He just copied someone else's dated survey and added a couple of his obsessions.

Trump is wholly incapable of doing anything himself.
