The actions lately seem to contradict the TACO rule. They may be telling Trump one thing and doing another.

to appease his cult? They want every brown person in the country removed and they'll scream bloody murder if Dear Leader makes any exceptions to his deportation-alooza. By "truthing" his false intentions to round them all up, that'll keep the Trump faithful happy.
He doesn't want to anger them. He hasn't wrung every last penny out of their bank accounts yet.

And time yet for a hundred indecisions,
And for a hundred visions and revisions,
And time for a hundred hooks and slices,
Before the taking of a burger and coke

Simple:
1 billion = 1,000 million
Someone lives 200 years, not 100, 200, that is still: 73050 days
You know what is next?
BOOM: Each BILLION is over $13,600 a day if you lived 200 years and never gained another nickel.
Explain how hard they work....
