We might as well have a laugh wherever we can find it, right? Randy Rainbow is at it again, with a parody from the Broadway play “Annie.” The original song is “I Think I’m Going To Like It Here,” which Rainbow has amended to “I Think I’m Going To Hate It Here.” Well, we basically agree with that, Randy. I keep hoping that we’re wrong, but unfortunately, having watched Donald Trump take civil discourse down level after level, sub-basement after sub-basement, I just don’t see too much optimism ahead. The only thing I can see Trump doing is bailing on enough of his promises to where his cult gets miffed — which he doesn’t care about because he’s not running again, no matter how Steve Bannon misconceptualizes the 22nd Amendment.
Happy Holidays! Here’s my attempt at optimism. #IThinkImGonnaHateItHere #NewVideo #Parody ♥️🎁🎶😵💫 pic.twitter.com/CPUeSio1a2

Just take a look at one of Trump’s biggest promises, if not the biggest promise, mass deportation. This is near and dear to MAGA hearts. Ain’t gonna happen, here’s why:
… The Congressional Joint Economic Committee published a report showing the effect of Trump’s mass deportations on the US economy. The report shows that 1.5 million workers in the construction industry, 225,000 from agriculture, 1 million from hospitality, 870,000 from manufacturing, and 461,000 from transportation would be subject to deportation.
… The report showed that 25% of all US construction workers are migrants with 282,000 job openings in construction remaining unfilled. The study also showed that deportation of 8 million migrants would result in a 7.4% reduction in US GDP over the next four years, which would be a severe recession right on the borderline of a depression.
And this has been explained to Trump but he still wanted to sell the dream to MAGA. Let’s see how it goes over when he’s been in office about a year and nothing has been done. The spin will be incredible. I’m sure he’ll blame it on Biden and Obama somehow, I just haven’t figured out how he’ll do that. Here’s another Trump lie that came out just today. Maybe it will ring a bell.
… To much fanfare, Trump announced today with SoftBank CEO Masayoshi Son looking on that SoftBank was going to invest $100 billion in the US because the Japanese investment firm had confidence in Trump. Except that the two of them both made exactly the same announcement after Trump won in 2016. And it never happened. The only difference between the two big announcements was that the one in 2016 was on December 6.
Yeah, a $100 billion there, and then all those billions coming in from tariffs, righto, winning, winning, so much winning. The watchword for Trump 2.0 is believe it when you see it.
How many workers from trump properties will be deported?
