rump says he is entitled to deport people without trials

Following an emergency order from the supreme court on Saturday blocking his administration from deporting suspected Venezuelan gang members without affording them due process, Donald Trump just told reporters that it is not possible to have trials for all of the people he wants to deport.

Asked by a reporter for the Daily Caller if he is happy with the rate of deportations, Trump thanked her for the question and repeated the baseless claim he has made in the past that foreign nations, including Venezuela and “the Congo”, have “emptied their prisons into the United States” and created an emergency that can only be dealt with by the emergency powers he claims the 1798 Alien Enemies Act affords him.

“We’re getting them out, and I hope we get cooperation from the courts because you know, we have thousands of people that are ready to go out, and you can’s have a trial for all of these people” the president said.

4. I am just so offended by the fact that we are paying this tinpot dictator to take our prisoners. We don't have enough

Prison space? We’ve been taking care of the worst of the worst here on our soil for decades. Suddenly we can’t? Are we admitting? We are too weak to deal with a gang? We have a huge thriving punishment industry here.

3. He took an oath..two times now, to serve and defend the Constitution but he doesn't seem to understand it

Or how our system works because he’s sent his life doing what he wants, when he wants and hires others to clean up his mess. He was never qualified to be dog catcher but here we are

5. Trump wants to deport himself?

The mentally insane.
