Trump can be bought?

I'd say, he can be rented. He has a short attention span.

Always ready to throw out one tenant when another bag of money walks by.

I tire of how liberals want to analyze every word, as if theologians going over scripture. Illegal as referring to an undocumented immigrant is not a big deal. The big deal is what you want to do with the undocumented. It has gotten tiresome. From how slaves became enslaved persons, or how homeless became unhoused.

It is like a catechism for which most of us don't have a copy.

I live in a town where many are Hispanic and often speak with an accent. I don't run around confronting them for papers. I just interact with my neighbors as I would with any neighbor - even if few can understand it if I speak above a 5th grade level.

In any case, an illegal alien or an undocumented immigrant or... a terrible person committed a crime. When I was learning to write decades ago, we were taught to simplify, to remove extraneous words.

So let's not overthink illegal, or homeless or disabled or whatever.
