    For anything like debt relief, or any kind of social program, the qons - and the “liberal media” - always ask, immediately, and with pikachu face: “but how are you gonna pay for it?!!!111”

    I hope you remember, people who “felt poor” because of the price of eggs or whatever…there is endless amounts of money to spend on deporting people, but if anyone were to talk about helping YOU, well, to borrow a phrase: FUCK YOUR FEELINGS, there is no money for something like that, no sir!

    Also, you can BET that some of donvict’s friends will be making money from this “plan”:

    Some folks are born, silver spoon in hand Lord, don’t they help themselves, y’all But when the taxman comes to the door Lord, the house looks like a rummage sale, yeah

      I mean, it sounds like they did ask how much it would cost, he just bulldozed through the question instead of seriously engaging with it and legacy media is too chickenshit to report it as “Trump apathetic about costs of deportation plan” or “Mass Deportation to Cost Billions Despite Trump’s Claims” because putting the things he says in context makes him sound like the madman he is and apparently truth is no longer sufficient defense from defamation.
