TRUMP OUTDOES HIMSELF IN DETONATING ANOTHER DISTRACTION FROM HIS CORRUPTION AND PERVERSIONS
Yesterday, Trump ordered the deportations of hundreds of thousands of people with jobs, homes and families in the U.S., who are awaiting the processing of their applications for Green Cards, to return to their countries of origin to apply for permanent visas. It is expected that ICE agents will be taking the lead in physically enforcing this order.
As cruel and bizarre as this action may be, it may not necessarily be attributed to Trump’s madness, viciousness and mental instability. On the contrary, it may fit his crafty pattern of creating a crisis as a strategy to deflect the public’s mind off of far more serious misconduct by Trump himself.
Trump’s action today to order his goons to eject hundreds of thousands of residents awaiting green cards appears to fit a pattern that we have been increasingly seeing ever since he first discovered how his initial surprise bombing of Iran almost totally distracted the American people from the utterly humiliating birthday military parade he threw for himself.
Trump thereafter deployed this strategy of distractions on occasions when he was faced with political setbacks, potentially humiliating disclosures, or other occasions when his poll ratings took a deep dive. His most blatant distractions have been during the Epstein hearings and disclosures and included his indiscriminate murders on the high seas of drug smugglers, whom he renamed “narco-terrorists” to make them more target justifiable, his invasion of Venezuela and the arrest of their President, his threats to seize Greenland, his second wave of bombing of Iran and this threats to destroy their civilization unless they submitted to his will.
It is not coincidental that Trump’s order today to eject these hundreds of thousands of residents from the U.S., comes within hours after Trump was thoroughly humiliated by the revelation that his own party has refused to fund his gold encrusted ball room and, more importantly, refused to support the plot he worked out with his Acting Attorney General to divert $1.7 billion dollars in taxpayer money to a slush fund for him to personally control and disburse, including payments to his co-conspirators who who were convicted after trial of storming the Capitol and leaving dead bodies in their wake.
There is, of course, the issue of whether Donald Trump, alone and unilaterally without the consent of Congress, has the sole right to arbitrarily order that these hundreds of thousands of residents awaiting green card be ejected from the United States. It’s inconceivable that Trump has this unilateral right.
For one thing, while not legally applicable, Trump’s order smacks of an ex post facto order or law. An ex post facto law, which is prohibited by the U.S. Constitution, is a law that retroactively makes conduct criminal, increases punishment, or worsens the legal consequences of an act after it was committed. Simply put, the government can’t say, “That thing you did last year was legal then, but we now declare it criminal and punish you for it.” While, this doctrine may not literally apply to Trump’s order today, the principle does. These people have been here legally and awaiting the processing of their green card applications. They have jobs, homes and families here. It is simply unfair, un-American and so alien to our inherent sense of fairness to allow Trump’s unilateral order to be enforced.
But perhaps that is not Trump’s end game. Given Trump’s utter humiliation in being denounced for expecting the American taxpayers to pay $500 million for his gold-encrusted ballroom and another $1.7 billion taxpayer dollars for his personal slush fund to disburse as he pleases, Mr. 3-Card Monte needed an immediate shock-wave to get the American people to look the other way, and that’s what this is really all about.
I should add that as for Trump’s arbitrary and unilateral order to summarily eject hundreds of thousands of immigrants that are legally in the United States, there is a long line of cases, beginning with the Supreme Court’s decision in Rochin v. California, 342 U.S. 165 (1952), which recognize the principle that actions that are so brutal, arbitrary or outrageous and patently violative of fundamental due process rights so as to ”shock the consience of the court ” cannot be upheld. Trump’s summary order to eject hundreds of thousands of immigrants who are legally here and awaiting processing of their green card applications falls squarely within this standard.
Thank you for the lovely conversation with your nerd avenger friend. He truly is a nice person. I listened to him on substack. As for the President who knows how to hurt others. Please if you can subscribe to Mary Trump Media.
More. Early on before DT’s first election, I read Gwenda Blair’s earlier version of her updated
biography: The Trumps, Three Generations of Builders and a President. If more citizens had read it, and taken it to heart, I suspect DT would never have been elected president. Generationally, the way he was raised, his family life and educational background, his personality, the historical antecedents of how Grandfather (an immigrant), Father, then DT operated in the business world…all present a tapestry that makes nothing he does surprising. Yet it turns out shocking indeed, that such a man should ever occupy the office of the president of the United (now disunited) States.
When asked about Trump pardons Mary said: "Absolutely. I think he’ll hand out pardons broadly because he understands how vulnerable everyone in his orbit is legally." I don't think he will do this, unless he perceives that he's getting something in return. Currently, he pardons people who can pass money to him in some way. Unless someone has this ability, or has physical evidence that would damage him, I don't think they'll get a pardon. I don't think Trump cares about the vulnerability of those around him. Anyone who trusts Trump is foolish and deserves what happens to them.
Thank you Mary, I always feel better after reading your posts- and your books. Takes a little of the tummy jitters away for a bit. Until he does or says something…😮💨
Does anyone actually believe that President Trump and Pete Hegseth actually believe/care about agreements or peace until they get whatever they want???
I don't know about Dirty Hands Hegseth, but the short-fingered vulgarian does not care about anyone but himself. Could he change? Possibly. Does he want to change? I'm not optimistic.
"And frankly, one lesson we should take from all of this is that presidential pardon powers need serious reform." Oh, yes. That has to be one of the outcomes of his massive corrupt use of the powers.
I agree with you 100%! With Trump’s personality and behavior. Majority of that goes all the way back to when he was a little kid. The way his father treated him.
I suppose that if I were a better person, I would have felt sorry for Donald Trump Jr simply for having the father he has. But now I am feeling some sympathy for him because Daddy is too busy to attend his wedding and can barely acknowledge his daughter-in-law-to-be. (My parents didn’t like my ex—In retrospect, I can’t blame them—but were better than that!) I must say, it really takes some special kind of talent to evoke sympathy for DT Jr from me.
"President Donald Trump is hosting a historic, outdoor UFC Freedom 250 mixed martial arts event on the South Lawn of the White House on June 14, 2026. The matches commemorate the nation's 250th anniversary and coincide with the President's 80th birthday." Nothing says love of violence like celebrating our anniversary in this way.

I read only two excellent books about Trump years ago. One was by Michael D'Antonio and the other was by David Cay Johnston. That was enough.
Yes, enough is enough.
I can hardly watch any news items about Trump. award of his self centered and aggrandizing he is. If I were Rachel Maddow. I’d be tearing my hair out.
Mary has always been right on target defining Donald.

Thank you for this interview,
The backstory is important so that we can move forward.
