Trump isn't just conservative; he's confused

Sam Smith -  A curious thing about Donald Trump is that he doesn't make much sense.  And given the drop in his polls he's not fooling the public about it. 

Unfortunately, the mainstream press favors power over performance and thus hasn't paid much attention to the fact that some of Trump's alleged solutions to the world's problems are more than a little bizarre. 

For example, according to Pew Research 20% of our workers in January 2025 were immigrants along with 15% of all US residents. As a general principle you don't run a compaign based on pissing off 15-20% of voters unless they always vote against candidates like you anyway. 

Anothe irony about Trump's war on immigrants is that it has helped create ancillary issues that aren't doing him any good, such as tariffs and ICE. And instead of recognizing that those of us who aren't Indians come from families that immigrated here at some point, Trump seems to be saying that our great great somethings shouldn't have been allowed here either. 

We don't have to determine whether Trump has a physical illness that leads to such mental oddities or whether he is just a  jerk. We simply have to keep in mind that he makes little sense on both key and trivial matters  and remind our friends and others that it doesn't help to have a jerk in the White House.
