“GREAT IDEA!!!” Trump wrote. “DO IT.”


Versions of this proposal have been circulating as memes among Trump supporters for some time now, especially as the president faced criticism for the aggressive tactics used by ICE officers in immigration crackdowns. That’s led to protests against ICE and other federal agencies.....................

It's not like pedo Trump can force them to use such a stupid acronym.

Hell, practically no one uses the Gulf of America that he renamed.

Pedo Trump is not our King, though he thinks he is.

Yes, it's trolling the media. And "libs". But how about "Late night troll mistakenly thinks social media post means something" as a headline?

If only the conduct actually reflected this new name, as with this guy!
