Trump Claims 'USA has the Absolute Legal Right' to Send Migrants to Sanctuary Cities

This is about a tweet from our idiot prez this evening, who tweeted this after misunderstanding (?) his own deputy secretary when that spokesperson appeared on Fox News:


https://www.mediaite.com/tv/hogan-gidley-defends-trumps-sanctuary-city-proposal-were-figuring-out-if-we-can-do-that-legally/


President Donald Trump tweeted out on Saturday night that “the USA has the absolute legal right to have apprehended illegal immigrants transferred to Sanctuary Cities.”

“Just out: The USA has the absolute legal right to have apprehended illegal immigrants transferred to Sanctuary Cities. We hereby demand that they be taken care of at the highest level, especially by the State of California, which is well known or its poor management & high taxes!” Trump wrote.

Trump’s tweet comes just following a segment on Fox News where his deputy Press Secretary defended the plan.

Speaking with Fox News’ Jeanine Pirro on Saturday, White House Principal Deputy Press Secretary Hogan Gidley defended President Donald Trump‘s plan to ship detained migrants to sanctuary cities.

Gidley claimed, though, that the actual transport hasn’t started yet because Trump is still considering all of his options and they are still working on the legality of the issue.

Pirro then asked if it had started already.

“Not yet, we’re trying to figure out if we can do that Legally,” Gidley replied.

A few minutes later, Trump tweeted out that the “USA has the absolute legal right” to what he wants.

threatening to release refugees into sanctuary cities, was fake news and they would be out of business in 6 years.

He is a physical expression of the worst of America: lying, cheating, thinking up evil shit, glued to Fox, dumb as a rock, no sense of humility, no empathy, spiteful, nauseatingly aggressive, rude, crude and a king asshole.

GET HIM THE FUCK OUT. Deport him to Siberia, if he loves Russia so much. His family, too— they’re a disease that needs to be eradicated.

Legally, of course, Agent Mike.

In his drug addled brain, the “USA” is his narrow, racist deplorable subset of cretins.

our mansgement and tax policies appear to be working quite spectacularly.

Trump wants to pretend that immigration issues are not a Federal responsibility, so he shouldn't be too shock when California sends him the bill for all that high level of care he insists on.

Sending them to “sanctuary cities”? These are good, hard working, law abiding people who work hard, pay taxes, and aren’t a drag on public resources.
