    Trump lies to fill the media with sound bites that rile up people. It’s a neat Russian trick of disinformation. If you’re not aware of this by now I have a bridge I want to sell you.

    Get out and vote, people. Complacency got him in, in 2000. To be fair, the Dems didn’t help their case much back then either.

    I lived in San Diego for two decades, including during the Trump presidency… All he did was endlessly claim the border was a crisis, often with clips from my city. It was so frustrating… It was always an easily disprovable lie, but his cult never cared to question any of it, even when my own relatives spoke talking to people like me that lived there. It’s just sad… Trump has brought so much hatred and division to this country, and to the families that live in it.

      I can’t think of many things that would enrage me more than Trumpist relatives donsplaining to me how my home town they’ve never visited is a shithole.

    TL;DR

    Trump says, migrants caused a ‘surge in crime’ in a small Wisconsin city. Its residents reject that.

      Oh, like you would jokingly expect it to be Canadians because Wisconsin is on the border with Canada, but the idea of a bunch of Canadians apologizing as they commit a physical tidal wave of crime is surprising?
