Trump just made perhaps his most dystopian statement of all time, and the internet is reeling

On Monday, January 11, the state of Minnesota filed a lawsuit against the Department of Homeland Security to end the “unlawful” increase in DHS agents in the state. This comes after ICE agents shot and killed US citizen Renee Good in Minneapolis last week.

“The illegal deployment of thousands of armed, masked and poorly trained federal agents is hurting Minnesota,” Minnesota Attorney General Keith Ellison said at a news conference.

“Schools have gone into lockdown. Businesses have been forced to close. Minnesota police are spending countless hours dealing with the chaos that ICE is causing,” Ellison continued. “This federal attack on the Twin Cities must stop, so today I’m suing DHS to end it.”

After the lawsuit was announced, Trump went on Truth Social Long message For Minnesota Democrats, trying to shift the blame for the city’s unrest onto them.

He asked Minnesotans if they “really want to live in a community where thousands of convicted murderers, drug dealers and addicts, rapists, violent released and escaped prisoners, dangerous people from foreign mental institutions and insane asylums, and other deadly criminals are too dangerous to mention.”

It’s always sad when someone abuses there/they/they are, but even more so when it’s the president.

Trump goes on to praise the “patriots of ICE” for doing their job and removing criminals who “entered the United States illegally through Sleepy Joe Biden’s terrible open border policy.”

So, Trump does what he does best: blame the Democrats. He says, “Minnesota Democrats love the turmoil caused by anarchists and professional agitators because it gets the spotlight on $19 billion that was stolen by really bad and deranged people.”

The “19 billion dollars” likely refers to a 42-minute video posted on YouTube by independent right-wing journalist Nick Shirley in which he alleges widespread fraud at Somali-run daycares in Minnesota. His findings prompted a federal investigation, which is still ongoing at this time.

While there’s obviously a lot to unpack overall, Trump has a way of summing up what really gets people talking. In all caps, he writes, “Fear not, great men of Minnesota, the day of reckoning and vengeance is coming!”

“Criminal and shameful,” someone else said, referring to the problematic way Trump defined “deadly criminals.”

Others are calling out the dangerous effects of Trump’s divisive rhetoric, even as he tries to appeal to the “great people of Minnesota.”

“Casting immigrants as criminals to justify fear and retaliation is political drama, not reality. When leaders use exaggerated threats to garner support, they feed division and distract from the real structural issues that undermine security and the rule of law.”
