If all goes as threatened, Immigration and Customs Enforcement will begin conducting nationwide raids on Sunday aimed at arresting thousands of undocumented immigrants. Many people have been resisting this idea, including, reportedly, a lot of people who work for ICE. Plans for executing the raids remain frighteningly “in flux,” and mass protests are planned against the roundups in 10 major cities.
But “crazy” in this case doesn’t have its usual connotation of being something outside of the norm. Trump ripped up the Iranian nuclear deal without knowing what he wanted instead, imposed tariffs on trade with China without knowing what tariffs were and is currently campaigning to destroy the Affordable Care Act without having an alternative for the 20 million Americans who would be left without health care if he succeeds.
He wasn’t even good at schmoozing the high-rollers, which you’d think would be relatively easy. You may recall that he once spent $100 million for a 282-foot yacht on which he envisioned riding with “whales” up and down the New Jersey coast, currying their allegiance to the Trump Taj Mahal, Trump Plaza or Trump Marina.
Once, while we were working on the book, Trump went to Brazil with a certain high-roller who was being courted by a rival casino. A small group of aides, including me, went with him. The idea was to flatter the gambler and keep him a Trump customer by visiting his businesses and showing interest in his philanthropic concerns. Trump didn’t want to go, because he didn’t want to do the things a man in his position must do, but we made it through the first couple of hours.

CharlesLeerhsen Says the yayhoos that run “yahoo”🤦🏼♂️
CharlesLeerhsen And what have you accomplished in your life other than writing opinions? That's not even close to reporting news you have to actually work on to get information. BozotheCharles
CharlesLeerhsen Bullshit! Once again Yahoo News shows how anti-American they are! Law of the land matters!
CharlesLeerhsen Is Charles leerhsen a billionaire and the president of the United States?
CharlesLeerhsen Please follow the advice of the governors throughout this country, immigrants you are being treated horribly, stay safe. Do not let trump's gestapo take you away.
CharlesLeerhsen Pathetic Yahoo. Trump is a billionaire businessman who has done an amazing job as President. Delete your account.
CharlesLeerhsen He’s upholding the law! You all state no one is above the law, yet you sugar coat those who had their due process and ignore court ordered deportation! They are not undocumented but illegals now that they ignore court orders! Goes to show your bias and lack of credibility!
CharlesLeerhsen I’m curious as to real reason why realDonaldTrump loudly publicizes ICE raids in advance. Law enforcement actions, ICE or otherwise, guard secrecy 4 the sake of officer safety & op efficiency. So... why?
CharlesLeerhsen Trump is enforcing the laws passed by Congress. The problem with the Democrats in Congress is they refuse to close the loopholes in the immigration law to prevent the mess at the border.
CharlesLeerhsen No it shows he doesn't like brown skin people he is a racist we need to get him out someone with a compassion in to office
CharlesLeerhsen Yahoo is just an arm for the Democratic Party. It’s not news.
