Andrew Jackson did it 1 year into has fist term. Trump is already in his 2nd.

It’s horrible to be clear. But ending assistance to other countries is in no way morally worse than genocide, slavery, and war.

>detention camps

The last year of the Biden administration, there were about 40k people in ICE detention facilities. The number has gone up under Trump, but it has less than doubled.

Any preventable deaths of people in ICE custody are unacceptable, but the number of deaths are a little higher proportionally than under Biden.

This is all horrible and condemnable. But detaining undocumented immigrants temporarily is something every administration does (even if this administration is ramping it up) and is in no way comparable to rounding up 100k innocent US citizens for a 4 year term.

Trump is an awful, greedy, morally corrupt human being, and a terrible President. But we’ve seen and survived much worse.
