Trump Hates Half the Country -- and It's Not Just Rhetoric

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

There’s an old adage that politics ain’t beanbag. Tough talk and underhanded tactics from politicians shouldn’t send you to the fainting couch, unless it comes from the other side (and you can convince media outlets that some egregious sin has been committed — or in more concrete terms, some law has been broken).

As he’s done in every aspect of his life, Trump has exploited this cynical societal construct and completely shattered boundaries that seemingly used to exist. But he couldn’t do so without pliant partners in the corporate media who have allowed him to operate under completely different rules than other politicians — especially Democrats.

Just take his comments on Truth Social last week. In the midst of his desperate attempt to find an off-ramp for his disastrous war of choice in Iran — it’s not going well; he’s declared victory dozens of times but can’t stop bragging about continuing to bomb Tehran to hell — Trump reminded us that there’s another evil to fight.

That’s right. The president declared that there’s an enemy that rivals that of the Iranians who his so-called Secretary of War has sworn to obliterate: the Democratic Party. Did you happen to miss that story? I don’t blame you. It was hardly a blip on the legacy media’s radar.

1. It's why he want those huge detention centers.

They will not be used just for illegal immigrants - if he gets a chance they will be used on that radical left.

7. So what do you think the " detention centers" are going to be used for?

Sure, they’ll start with immigrants, then Dem. politicians, then the old, the crippled, the gays, then everyday Democrats. Think I’m nuts? I’m old enough to remember the past.

12. Well, they have to expand exponentially for that to happen, because the ICE detention capacity

is incredibly SMALL, compared to the numbers of undocumented immigrants which they aspire to detain and deport---

I don't see nearly enough room for the undocumented, let alone their political opponents---
and they have even been getting push-back from facilities that they have been attempting to acquire for that purpose...

From Google AI Overview:

As of early 2026, U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) detention capacity has expanded to record levels, with over 72,000 to 73,000 people detained, aiming for a rapid expansion towards 100,000 beds. The system includes roughly 200 facilities, comprising dedicated centers, repurposed warehouses, and county jails.

(Meanwhile, about 9 million people were protesting in the streets against the Trump 4th Reich yesterday---!)


Back to Google A.I.:

Several entities and individuals have refused to sell or lease warehouse facilities to the U.S. government for Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) detention centers as of early 2026, amid widespread community opposition to mass deportation plans. While the provided search results do not identify a specific Native American tribe that outbid the Trump government to prevent a detention center, they highlight a Miccosukee Tribe legal battle and a Prairie Band Potawatomi Nation contract controversy.

Entities and Owners Who Refused to Sell to ICE :

Jim Pattison Developments: Canadian billionaire Jim Pattison backed out of selling a 550,000-square-foot warehouse in Ashland, Virginia, to the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) after facing public backlash.
Majestic Realty Co. (Edward Roski Jr.): The company, owned by billionaire Trump donor Ed Roski, refused to sell or lease a 1-million-square-foot warehouse in Hutchins, Texas, to the DHS.
Various Warehouse Owners: Owners of facilities in Woodbury and Shakopee, Minnesota, pulled out of potential ICE deals following community pressure.
The Ritchie Group: Owners of a warehouse in Salt Lake City, Utah, announced they had "no plans" to sell or lease their property to ICE.

Tribal Involvement and Legal Challenges
Miccosukee Tribe (Florida): The Miccosukee Tribe of Indians of Florida successfully challenged an "Alligator Alcatraz" detention center in the Everglades. A federal judge granted a temporary restraining order to block further construction on the site, a move lauded by the tribe.
Prairie Band Potawatomi Nation (Kansas): A newly established tribal business entity signed a nearly $30 million federal contract in October 2025 to design immigrant detention centers, but following intense backlash from fellow Native Americans, the tribe worked to terminate the contract.
Poarch Band of Creek Indians (Alabama): A company owned by this tribe was reported to have a multi-million dollar contract with ICE to provide financial and administrative services.
Oneida Nation of Wisconsin: A subsidiary of the Oneida ESC Group cancelled a $3.8 million contract for engineering and inspection services for federal facilities.

Key Opposition Points
Legal Action: The Miccosukee Tribe used legal action to challenge the construction of a detention center on environmental grounds.
Community Backlash


(YEAH, the last part of my post is "A.I. SLOPPY", but it would have taken me two days to research all that info manually, so you radical anti-AI types can just save your breath! I use the tools I have at hand, and will not be dictated to by anyone about what I may re-post,
as long as I stay within the rules of the forum! I'm no great proponent of AI either, but where it will save me time, I make no apologies)
