Maybe Trump should change his slogan to "Make Swamps Spectacular Again"?

I think Trump was being sarcastic..the best thing for the UN and the FBI building is for both to be burned to the ground

Trump suckers DeSanctus into discussing Trump - yet again!

And DeSactus and his (low-T) supporters don’t see what he did - again!

"I think Trump was being sarcastic..the best thing for the UN and the FBI building is for both to be burned to the ground"

He was absolutely being sarcastic, telling the FBI to stay in Washington, and deal with the excessive crime there. Not run away to a distant location and pretend the crime doesn't exist.

That is how I understand it.

No. In it’s in his agenda 47. In addition to “make America great again” Trump vows to “make D.C. great again”.

Likewise, instead of getting rid of the Department of Ed Trump proposes a whole new federal education agenda he calls “The American Acaddemy” - as if the GOP could ever keep control of any federal program.

Many other Trump proposals are “big Federal government Republican/Populist” and not Conservative.

"NO! That’s part of the problem with the FBI. They’ve become overrun with D.C. politics — you need to take it out of D.C. Take power out of there – that’s how you drain the swamp," DeSantis declared.

No Ron. You don't take a federal police force and spread it out of DC.

That's how you further empower the swamp by infecting the rest of the country with the unconstitutional powers of a federal police force.

Yes. That was a dumb thing to say. I would think Trump of all people would understand the need to move the FBI out of DC into a tiny storefront in Idaho.

Sarcastic or maybe bribing the FBI to stay out of the Election Management business? I hope it was the first but will go along with the second.

Trump's supporters are solid. They know full-well the FBI is out to destroy him. And us.

Trump supporters aren't so stupid as to be confused by things he might say to throw his enemies off balance.

Trump-haters at FR on the other hand...

“”” FBI should stay in D.C. and be given a “new and spectacular building”””


Trump is likely following the old rule: “Keep your friends close and your enemies closer”

Is Trump a trans Republican? I ask because he fully funded the FIBBERS new HQ as POTUS.

The J6 gulag was created by the corrupt FBI. Trumps supports them, Disney groomers, big pharma and his presidential commendation winner Fauci.
