    This idiot seems to be oblivious to the fact that there is no official language in the US, that several US states have Spanish as a defacto co-official language, that Spanish has been spoken in many parts of the US for longer than English, and that there are approx. 60.000.000 Spanish speakers in the US.

    A problem here is that since he can’t be re-elected, he doesn’t have to care about popularity, except for his ego trips.

      It doesn’t matter. Nothing matters. “Small government and low taxes” but when you want to triple the size of ICE and institute historic tariffs (aka taxes) it’s OK. “Party of law and order” but when you don’t let asylum seekers into the country- overtly breaking US law, it’s OK. “The constitution is sacred” but when you sign an executive order that explicitly contradicts the 14th amendment- it’s OK.

      Nothing matters. There is no consistency whatsoever. There doesn’t need to be. The more disjointed, the better. You make people so disoriented that they’ll accept anything.
