Re: Understanding the US - Again

Looks like the MAGA folks miscalculated badly and its quite funny how things are turning up. When then wanted to deport illegal hispanic immigrants, they thought they will be replaced by black Americans. And it seems that when they said illegal immigrants are taking black jobs, they meant farm jobs....

I think the deep state got to Trump. They are making sure no body in the US or any country in the world supports anybody other than their candidate. No body will believe any candidate who promises to change the status quo in America. As a quid pro quo, Trump gets to enrich himself while in office.
