Immigrants in Trump-Led Ceremony Didn't Know They Would Appear at RNC

[octoberlib]

Sudha Narayanan and Neimat Awadelseid looked forward to Tuesday—the day, after a yearslong process, they would become U.S. citizens. They found out only minutes before the ceremony that President Trump would attend, and they didn’t know it would be aired during the Republican convention that night.

I don't have access to any more of the story because of the paywall but does this surprise anybody?

1. That's 100% the type of shitty manipulative behavior one expects from Trumpland.

A gross mix of coercion/nonconsent with an implied threat.

2. Sickening. He actually thinks people belong to him. NT

3. Millions do.

4. They got used as props without their knowledge or consent.

Typical Trump behavior.

7. THAT is exactly right......

I'm surprised he didn't have them all deported as soon as they were off screen - they didn't "look" like the kind of people he'd want in "his" country.

5. Holy hell, that's much worse than it seemed last night.

And last night was really bad.
What a loathsome maneuver!

8. Really? I thought that it took place at the White House.

Most folks don't become citizens at the White House. Convention or otherwise. Not surprising though. Props for DJTs reality show
