Donald Trump Now Floats Deporting American Criminals --Start with yourself, Trump!

President Donald Trump, speaking at the House Republican Retreat in Doral, Florida, suggested Monday that he wanted to fly American criminals to other countries who will incarcerate them for "a small fee."

"I don't want these violent repeat offenders in our country anymore. If they've been arrested many, many times, I want them out of our country," Trump said. Let them be brought to a foreign land and maintained by others for a very small fee as opposed to be maintained in our jails for massive amounts of money including the private prison companies that charge us a fortune... You'll see crime all over the country dry up."


That's great, coming from the biggest criminal of them all.

Good thing he's not fond of horses, he would want one to be a senator.

Has he named his horse as a Special Consul? Taken up the violin? Shaved his head, painted his scalp light blue, and run screaming up Pennsylvania Avenue, "I am the great, powerful, and exalted roll on deodorant"?

MSN couldn’t be bothered to find even one of any number of legal scholars who would point out the Constitutional problems with trying to do this. Anybody who reads that article would be excused from thinking Trump could just do this.

around the turn of the century. He had a not-so-squeaky-clean past, but he knew business and glass blowing. His father had been a glass blower in Sarajevo. My grandfather became the largest PPG franchise owner in the state of Ohio prior to the Great Depression. Many of the big houses and mansions in Shaker Heights, it was his company that did a lot of the windows. Had he not lost his fortune, I could have been an heiress.
