Michael Cohen - Trump's Deportation Games: Win or Get Disappeared

If you want to know what it’s like to watch a government rot from the inside out, let me take you back to the belly of the beast, where I once sat at the right hand of the overlord himself: President Trump. Back then, cruelty was a feature, not a bug. But now? Now it’s the whole damn operating system.

Let’s stop pretending this administration gives a shit about the American people. I don’t care how many trucker hats he sells that say “MAGA” or “America First,” or how many rage-tweets he lobs from his golden toilet at 3 a.m. The reality is this: Trump’s second term is a demolition derby aimed squarely at the very people he conned into voting for him. And the wreckage? It’s piling up faster than unpaid bills at Trump University.

Let’s start with FEMA. Remember that agency? The one you pray will show up after a hurricane rips the roof off your house and sends your memories floating in the Atlantic Ocean? Yeah, that one. Thanks to budget hacks and leadership purges that would make Stalin blush, FEMA’s now a hollowed-out shell of what it once was—right as hurricane season rolls in. And guess what? That’s not an oversight. It’s a design. Because Trump and his henchmen don’t do help. They do spectacle. They do punishment.

The Veterans Administration? Slashed. Because apparently “support the troops” only applies if there’s a camera and a flag big enough to double as a MAGA cape. Research for childhood cancer? Gone. Guess sick kids just aren’t polling well with the base. SNAP, Medicare, housing, Social Security—programs that actually help Americans? Starved, gutted, and left for dead in some bureaucratic back alley.
