Yesterday Donald Trump shared on social media an outrageous meme proclaiming, “I love the smell of deportations in the morning,” followed by, “Chicago about to find why it’s called the Department of War.”

Below those proclamations is a photo of Trump attired like actor Robert Duvall in Apocalypse Now. Behind him helicopters fly over the skyline of Chicago, and the words “Chipocalypse Now” appear to his leg as a massive fire rages behind him.

With this meme it appears that Donald Trump has reached a new low in his race to the bottom — something that is really hard to do with all of the crazy memes he has shared on X and other social media during his first term and now in his second term.

In response to Trump’s meme, Jeffrey St. Clair, the editor of counterpunch.org, quipped: “Where does one begin? His cult knows he's a draft-evading coward that sent poor whites, blacks and Hispanics to kill, be maimed and die in his place so that he could blow his $400 mm inheritance on failed business scams, and who'd need three people to help him up if ever managed to squat like Robert Duvall, right?”

With his deployment of the National Guard to U.S. cities including Washington D.C, Los Angeles and the militarization of ICE around the country, is Trump aiming to disrupt the economy in blue majority states and regions?

A new report by the Bay Area Economic Institute reveals that the economic impact of the Trump regime’s mass deportations in California could result in a loss of more than $278 billion for the state, now the fourth largest economy in the world: www.bayareaeconomy.org/...

“This report examines how shifting federal immigration enforcement policies and expanded immigration enforcement could impact California’s economy. With the nation’s largest state economy where immigrants comprise nearly one-third of the population, disruptions in California would reverberate nationwide,” the executive summary states.

The following key insights illustrate the potential economic effects on California, according to the report:
