Trump cares about your Constitution in precisely the same manner in which the wrecking ball cares about the structural integrity of the building: an obstacle to be removed.

Some DNC and RNC behavior - at least that of Pelosi and McConnells' branches - falls into that later camp, and I believe Trump exists outside that sphere of influence.
I think your estimation of Trump is astonishingly naive. He's as corrupt as anyone who's held the office, and his cozying up to Putin and other autocrats is certainly against our national interest, given their jimmying with our electoral process, amongst other things. A strong Europe is in our national interest as well, yet he has consistently worked to undermine European security.
Not to mention his apparent loathing for legal due process, which is a Constitutional matter.

That is a symptom of a surge of immigrants straining an underfunded and understaffed system that is actively being hamstringed by the DNC. It's creating a problem and then crying that you must be elected to fix it.
Do you have pictures of these camps in the Biden era?

It doesn't matter what president or what party was in charge. The camps were shitty. They were always meant to be shitty it has fuck all to do with funding or overcrowding
The only real difference under Trump is that he didn’t even try to act like he gave a shit about the poor conditions.
I'd say he revelled in the notion it was helpful to be as indifferent as possible, even going further and spreading duplicitous claims to demonise immigrants in a sweeping generic way. Understanding that immigration is a problem developed nations must manage, if a world away from the bigoted rhetoric he espouses.

Immigrants are not so bad.
Quote:Trump's pledge to deport millions of immigrants would devastate Texas economy
Immigrants – authorized and unauthorized, highly educated and low-skilled – are critical to our workforce. In February 2024, the nonprofit Every Texan reported that for every 1,000 workers, Texas immigrants and asylum seekers add $2.6 million to state and local taxes in their first year of eligibility. Once they get work permits, new immigrants in Texas earn an average of $20,000 in their first year, rising to $29,000 by their fifth year.
Undocumented workers also bring a net cost benefit, researcher Jose Ivan Rodriguez-Sanchez found in a 2020 report for the Baker Institute for Public Policy.
These immigrants are deeply enmeshed in Texas culture. Nationally, an estimated 62 percent of unauthorized immigrants have lived in this country for at least 10 years. In 2018, 1.4 million U.S. citizens in Texas were living with at least one relative who was undocumented.
Mass removal of workers would devastate Texas businesses, especially restaurants and building companies.
https://www.statesman.com/story/opinion/...904752007/
And this is how bad politicians do their business. By bad politicians, I mean those who give tax breaks to rich people, which then tank the economy, so what these bad politicians do then is put all the blame on the immigrants.
From what I understand, the UK had the same politics for decades, where they gave tax breaks to rich people and ended up not having any money to pay doctors or school teachers. So what they did is put the blame on immigrants, that they are making the country poor by stealing jobs, and that's why they pulled that Brexit thing with the promise it would fix things, but it didn't and it made it worse.
And the reason why they always go for the immigrants is because they are the most vulnerable group in any society, considering that they don't have anyone who represents them anywhere in the government, so anyone can just pick on them. Just like people used to pick on Jews or gays because they were feeble groups without any representations.
teachings of the Bible are so muddled and self-contradictory that it was possible for Christians to happily burn heretics alive for five long centuries. It was even possible for the most venerated patriarchs of the Church, like St. Augustine and St. Thomas Aquinas, to conclude that heretics should be tortured (Augustine) or killed outright (Aquinas). Martin Luther and John Calvin advocated the wholesale murder of heretics, apostates, Jews, and witches. - Sam Harris, "Letter To A Christian Nation"
