“We keep our country safe. We’ll do whatever we can to keep our country safe,” Trump said ahead of the “Melania” film premiere at the Kennedy Center, responding to a reporter’s question about whether he would pull agents out of Minnesota.

“So, you’re not pulling back?” the reporter asked again.

“No, no. Not at all,” Trump replied.

The president’s remarks stand in stark contrast to Homan’s position outlined on Thursday, in which he stated that staff from Customs and Border Protection (CBP) and Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) were crafting a “draw down plan.”

    If you resist him he might do all those things and remain in power forever.

    If you don’t resist him he won’t have to do them. He’ll just remain in power forever.

      Trump has played his hand so hard that anybody who is capable of thinking for themselves will be voting against Republicans in November. If there can be a “blue wave”, then we have a small amount of hope for avoiding that future without violence. If violence escalates quickly, then that election can even be canceled.

      If people still don’t vote against MAGA and GOP in November, then America is doomed with or without violence.

      At least, that’s the way I see it. Resistance is important, but violence before this election may be counterproductive. Of course, if you assume, probably correctly, that American citizens will never pull their heads out of their asses, then I guess it doesn’t matter.
