Well, fucktard... YOU'RE pinning the granting of asylum on Trump.
What the fuck is the difference?
The granting of asylum in the United States is typically done by the U.S.
government, specifically through the U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services
(USCIS) or the U.S. Department of State.
In the scenario you described, if the U.S. government "hired" a foreign
national in Afghanistan and then granted them asylum in the U.S. after the
war, the granting of asylum would likely involve the following steps:
The U.S. government, through the Department of State or the Department of
Defense, would identify the individual and determine that they are eligible
for asylum.
The individual would then be referred to USCIS, which would review their
eligibility for asylum and conduct an interview.
If the individual is deemed eligible, USCIS would then grant them asylum,
which would involve providing them with a document, such as a Form I-94, that
confirms their status as an asylee.
THE ACTUAL GRANTING OF ASYLUM WOULD BE DONE BY A USCIS OFFICER, who would have
the authority to make such a determination. THIS OFFICER would review the
individual's application, conduct an interview, and verify their identity and
eligibility for asylum before making a decision.
It's worth noting that the process of granting asylum can be complex and
involves various government agencies and departments. However, in general, the
U.S. government has the authority to grant asylum to individuals who meet the
eligibility requirements, and the USCIS IS THE AGENCY RESPONSIBLE FOR MAKING
SUCH DETERMINATIONS.
The President is not directly informed of asylum determinations and
approvals.

"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."
