Keep daily track of the absurdities, stupidities, provocations, intimidations and dangers of the #trumpregime. Very helpfull for historical research. Excellent work, mrs. Kirsten Verdel:
#Betrayal: Trump is removing legal status for >500M ppl in the CHNV program *must leave by the end of Apr -arrived in the US under a 2-year humanitarian parole prgm -doesn’t align with his foreign policy & didn’t have much impact on curbing the flow of migrants at the border.

The Atlanticist even talks like the Trump White House....
Gilead is Europe's enemy, like Russia is.
The UK's leaders in particular are not dealing with this fact, and they are exposed all the UK to harm because of it.
