> Maybe, just maybe, this will be the end of Trump's lawlessness.
And bring lawlessness BACK to our society. Thanks, but no thanks.
Tell us WHY you want a criminal to be brought back.
If Trump is a criminal, Obama must be a super-villain.

During his administration from fiscal year 2009 to 2014, President Obama oversaw the deportation of approximately 2.4 million
unauthorized immigrants, with a record high of 435,000 deportations in 2013 alone. The numbers reflect a focus on deporting
convicted criminals and those deemed a threat to public safety.
Ron DeSantis stated on January 2,2024 in a town hall: "Donald Trump 'deported less, believe it or not, than Barack Obama did."
Politifact: True
"Trump promised the largest deportations in history," DeSantis said Jan. 2 during a town hall hosted by Gray Television. "He
deported less, believe it or not, than Barack Obama even did."
But did Trump deport fewer people than Obama? There are different deportation metrics, and Obama surpassed Trump's numbers in
each one. Immigrant rights advocates had dubbed Obama the "deporter-in-chief" by the time he left office in 2017.
During his first administration, Donald Trump oversaw the deportation of approximately 1.2 million undocumented immigrants. This
figure reflects a significant increase in deportations compared to previous administrations, as his policies focused on stricter
immigration enforcement.
Since President Trump returned to office in January 2025, over 100,000 migrants have been deported. In the first 50 days of his
administration, ICE made approximately 32,000 arrests, contributing to this total.
During his administration, President Joe Biden's administration deported over 271,000 immigrants in the fiscal year 2024, marking
the highest number of deportations in nearly a decade. This figure surpasses the deportation numbers from Donald Trump's first
term in office.
So...
Obama 2.1 million
Trump 1.3 million
Biden .27 million

"Trump Derangement Syndrome" Is a Real Mental Condition
All you need to know about "Trump Derangement Syndrome," or TDS.
"Trump Derangement Syndrome (TDS) is a mental condition in which a person has been driven effectively insane due to their dislike
of Donald Trump, to the point at which they will abandon all logic and reason."
Justin Raimondo, the editorial director of Antiwar.com, wrote a piece in the Los Angeles Times in 2016 that broke TDS down into
three distinct phases or stages:
"In the first stage of the disease, victims lose all sense of proportion. The president-elect's every tweet provokes a firestorm,
as if 140 characters were all it took to change the world."
"The mid-level stages of TDS have a profound effect on the victim's vocabulary: Sufferers speak a distinctive language consisting
solely of hyperbole."
"As TDS progresses, the afflicted lose the ability to distinguish fantasy from reality."
The Point here is simple: TDS is, in the eyes of its adherents, the knee-jerk opposition from liberals to anything and everything
Trump does. If Trump announced he was donating every dollar he's ever made, TDS sufferers would suggest he was up to something
nefarious, according to the logic of TDS. There's nothing - not. one. thing. - that Trump could do or say that would be received
positively by TDSers.
The history of Trump Derangement Syndrome actually goes back to the early 2000s - a time when the idea of Trump as president was
a punch line for late-night comics and nothing more.
Wikipedia traces its roots to "Bush Derangement Syndrome" - a term first coined by the late conservative columnist Charles
Krauthammer back in 2003. The condition, as Krauthammer defined it, was "the acute onset of paranoia in otherwise normal people
in reaction to the policies, the presidency - nay - the very existence of George W. Bush."
