These Trump supporters just got very rude awakenings as Donald Trump is attacking them. Quote, I thought they were going to be targeting criminals. No one mentioned that residents, legal residents, were going to have to go through this. That's what a Stephanie Pena, 30 years old from Lincoln, California, believed when she supported Donald Trump for reelection. Everything just came crumbling down, she said, when immigration officers entered her home and wouldn't let her husband leave. Uh, hello. We told you this was going to happen. What do you think it meant when they were holding signs that said mass deportations now at the Republican National Convention? Look, here's some of the stats that we know. ProPublica and the Texas Tribune have reported that less than half of the approximately 8,8200 people arrested from January 20th through February 2nd so far have criminal convictions, according to the government data they obtained. And who even knows if this data with Donald Trump is reliable anymore? They basically gutted all the data. You know, and we've seen these videos, like in Memphis, where plain clothed ICE officers and DHS officials were going into, like, taco stands and just, like, grabbing migrants and treating them like trash. So we got a little leopards eating the face there, although I hate to see people suffer. How about this one right here? Abdullah Hamoud, he's the mayor of Dearborn, Michigan, and he goes. President Trump's proposal to ethnically cleanse Palestinians from Gaza and have the US Take over is yet another chapter in the ongoing genocide. Deploying US Troops and using taxpayer dollars to invade Gaza is morally indefensible. Our commitment to justice remains unshaken no matter who sits in the White House. Now, Dearborn, Michigan, which is made up of large Muslim population that voted for Donald Trump, lots of Palestinians for Trump, which is one of the strangest things I could ever even fathom at that time. Abdullah Hamoud, who was the mayor and is the mayor of Dearbor, to his credit, although I don't think I should use the word credit, he didn't vote for Donald Trump. Like many of the Muslims in Dearborn, he didn't vote for anybody. I think perhaps that's almost just as bad, if not just as bad. Um, this is what he said on November 1, 2024. The architect of the Muslim band is making a campaign stop in Dearborn. People in this community know what Trump stands for. We suffered through it for years. I refuse to sit down with him, although the requests keep pouring in. Trump will never be my president. To the Dems, you' willingness to stop funding and enabling a genocide created the space for Trump to infiltrate Our communities remember that. So I guess there's a. It's a both sides issue. On the one hand, Vice President Kamala Harris wanted a two state solution. Um, she wanted to make sure that aid found its way into Gaza. President Biden sanctioned Israeli settlers who prevented AID from getting into Gaza the first time there were powerful sanctions like that ever placed on any Israeli settlers like that. President Biden was very strong and critical of Benjamin Netanyahu and did everything he can to broker a ceasefire. Um, but on the other hand, on the other hand, America wasn't able to stop Netanyahu and therefore Donald Trump, who had always been basically threatening ethnic cleansing and building Trump towers there and the architect of the Muslim band. I guess. I guess everybody's just as bad. You know, it would be like totally different right now if you had Vice president, like, objectively, it would be totally different right now if you had Vice President Kamala Harris there. Anyway, we go from individuals in California and Florida, Latinos for Trump. We talked about Muslims and Palestinians for Trump. How about the business community for Trump. How about some of these billionaires, like Citadel, a major private equity firm, hedge fund. Ken Griffin's head, this guy's worth like $50 billion or something crazy. $40 billion. Huge amount of money. So this is what he says yesterday. Ken Griffin says Trump's bombastic. I like when they use a big word. Bombastic trade rhetoric isn't a mistake. That's eroding Trust in the U.S. citadel CEO Ken Griffin sent a stern warning. I'm wagging my finger. I'm a billionaire. Ken Griffin, I'm sending you a stern warning. Donald Trump against the negative impact from Donald Trump's combative approach to U.S. trade policy. This is what Ken Griffin, who voted for Donald Trump, was a Trump supporter, said, quote, from my vantage point, the bombastic rhetoric, the damage has already been done. Griffin said Tuesday at the UBS Financial Services conference in Key Biscayne, Florida. It's a huge mistake to resort to this form of rhetoric when you're trying to drive a bargain, because it tears into the minds of CEOs, policymakers that we can't depend upon America as our trading partner. The billionaire hedge fund founders comments came after Trump on Monday evening signed an order that would impose the 25% tariffs on steel and aluminum imports. He's already enacted 10% duty on all Chinese imports. He paused 25% tariffs on Mexico and Canada, but apparently reinstated as it relates to steel and aluminum. Griffin, who voted for Trump and was a mega, mega donor to Republican politicians, believes the hostile dynamics caused by punitive tariffs could make long term investments challenging for multinational companies and investors. Quote, it makes it difficult for multinationals in particular to think about how to plan for the next 5, 10, 15, 20 years, particularly when it comes to long lead time capital investments that could be adversely impacted by a degradation of the current terms of engagement as amongst the leading Western countries when it comes to terms and trade. Ooh, lots of big words you're using there, Mr. Griffin. How about the fact that Donald Trump is a con artist? His whole life was conning people. You just take a look. How do you, as a business person, right? You made a lot of money, Mr. Griffin, wouldn't you want to look at Donald Trump's past and go, wait a minute, you bankrupted all of these casinos, you bankrupted all of these companies. You had to get bankruptcy protection like three to four times all of these companies. When you weren't using the seal of the United States and the trappings of the Oval Office. Before that, you've been found liable for fraud, for business fraud. You inflate your assets, you hide your tax returns because you're pathetic. And Donald Trump doesn't pay his taxes was what we had to uncover in those tax returns. You run crypto scams, isn't it? You, you sell Trump guitars and Trump NFTs. How do you, I mean, Ken Griffin, how do you vote? How do you support this guy? What you thought the deregulation. Listen, when Biden was in office, America's GDP was leading the world. Unemployment was at record lows. We created 16.4 million jobs. That was more than any other president in American history. Mr. Griffin, I know you know, stock market returns, that's kind of what you do, right? So 60% returns, right? A lot of the ways you value your wealth are the markets, right? Under President Biden, people's 401ks skyrocketed. The stock market was up 55 to 60% and President Biden focused on workers. So he did a bottom up, middle out. And the stock market was booming. But y'all wanted to go for the grifter who now has some like freaking golden fricking goat in Mar a Lago with fake hundred dollar bills with his stupid face on it that says, in Trump we trust. Oh, my God. You know, these, these billionaire oligarchs, you, you thought you were, what, you thought that you were gonna get the Elon Musk treatment and get to raid the Treasury Department and all the government department? Is that what y'all olig. You were going to get that treatment.
