Disgraced Trump Goon Urges Revolt Against His Old Bosses

One of President Donald Trump’s former Border Patrol goons has been on a tirade against his administration, claiming officials are retreating from the mass deportation crackdown that was initially promised.

Greg Bovino retired as Border Patrol “commander-at-large” earlier this year amid backlash for his leadership in Minnesota, where two protesters were shot dead by federal agents.

Bovino not understanding smart vs stupid tactics is the single biggest mistake of Trump-era II. The focus was on welfare fraud, Democrat corruption, illegal aliens. All winning issues for us.

Bovino changed it to insignificant Protestors made the story.

Truth.

Some of those "protestors" were legitimately trying to kill ICE agents.

People don't realize the hour that we're in; enforcing deportations of illegals is a direct threat to Democrat power, and they were willing to kill to stop it.

Bovino understood the assignment. The people over him, however, bowed to PR pressure, instead of staying the course.

And now there's apparently a subtler change to "targeted enforcement", and the recent resignation of the Border Patrol Chief Mike Banks. There's apparently a sea change in the works.

It bodes poorly.

They still haven’t done a damn thing about the illegal gangstah stink bomb aka Maryland’s Father of the Year. The boy got the last laugh.

That’s not only LOSING for MAGA, THAT’S LOSING BIG. Of Course, when you’re illegal, you need to get youself a boy toy like Chrissy Van Hollen. He can get you out of the mess and convince the ignorant Marylanders that you walk on water.

He was actually doing his job. We were told we were getting mass deportations.

I imagine after the midterms that Dignity Act will be back and Congress will pass it no matter who likes it or not.

Right. So let's elect Democrats and return to millions illegally trafficked into the US every year.

Any rhetoric that helps Democrats win elections is stupid.

I think not. With increased talk of some sort of normalcy for dreamers & long-time illegals, working, paying taxes, with kids, with no memory of home, Trump is keeping deportations out of the headlines.

He's not chickening out, imho, he's trying to keep control of the house & senate because if we lose there, it's game over for all of the above.

Similar positioning with Iran and gas prices. How much time is needed to bring gas prices down, and then how long until energy costs fall and impact the rest of the economy affected by energy. If we / he misjudges here, just like, deportations, game over, house / senate lost.

Who thinks Tom Homan will spit the bit in his mouth ?

That is actually quite correct

That’s why Serpent Head James Carville
and the DEMOCRATS
is / are all about ILLEGALS over AMERICAN CITIZENS

I would have hope Trump wouldn’t have concerned himself with the midterms, and just do what’s right, and do what he promised, and let the chips fall where they may.
