The ceasefire isn't a ceasefire.
The blockade isn't a blockade.
What he said wasn't a war is actually a war.

Q: Will we see ICE arresting illegal migrants at airports?
TRUMP: Yeah. That's why the Democrats are going crazy. ICE loves it because they're able to now arrest illegals as they come into the country. It's very fertile territory.

May she rest in peace.
