Analysis: Trump’s First 100 Days in One Word: LIES
For Trump administration officials, the only way to make him look good is to continue lying
Expecting a president who lied more than 30,000 times during his first term to be an honest broker of anything is an exercise in absurdity. The Trump campaign successfully catapulted the billionaire nepo-baby fraudster to the top of the shit-pile using more lies and propaganda to once again target nonwhite groups, particularly Latinos, to elevate the current president as the redeemer of white grievance, bigotry, misogyny, and outright racism.
On Monday, the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) continued perpetuating lies that posit Latino immigrants as criminals, rapists, and murderers despite immigrants committing far less crime than native born U.S. citizens. Even so, the administration is not only deporting innocent people but also their U.S. citizen children, while also taking children away from their parents as they are being deported. The administration also posted 100 photos of Latino immigrants on the White House lawn, alleging they are the types of criminals described above.
