They’re perfectly fine with Trump hurting black and brown people, but they expected him to allow their migrant workers to remain untouched.

They were perfectly fine with Trump destroying the federal government because some mythical deep state was out to get him. They knew Trump was a corrupt convicted felon. They didn’t care because he would hurt the people they hate. Welcome to the fact that everything Trump touches dies.
