Nearly five months into Trumpās new reign of error, his administrationās mistakes are multiplying.
āOn May 29, Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem released a ācomprehensive list of sanctuary jurisdictions.ā She was āexposing these sanctuary politiciansā because they are āendangering Americans and our law enforcement in order to protect violent criminal illegal aliens.ā But it immediately became clear that the list of more than 500 states, counties and cities was riddled with errors: misspellings, cities and counties mistaken for each other, and places that donāt exist.
Worse, scores of the āsanctuary politiciansā she called out turned out to be leaders of MAGA counties and towns with no sanctuary policies on their books. Complaints poured in from Trump allies across the country. Good luck with that. The only answer was to disappear the list this week, leaving behind a āPage Not Foundā error.
Such a massive screwup hadnāt happened since ā¦ well, the previous week, when Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. went to the White House and released his ballyhooed āMake America Healthy Againā report full of citations of studies that donāt exist, the product of AI hallucinations. This, in turn, was reminiscent of President Donald Trumpās āLiberation Dayā tariff rollout, which targeted an island full of penguins and other unpopulated or sparsely populated corners of the globe ā and raised taxes on most of the world based on a math error.
And these, of course, were on top of the āmistakesā that led Trump officials to share war plans with a journalist, to deport people protected by court order, to launch a destructive fight with Harvard University, to fire and then attempt to rehire thousands of crucial federal workers, to cancel and then reinstate various vital government functions, and to misstate, often by orders of magnitude, the alleged savings from its cost-cutting attempts.ā
There is no sanctuary from Trump administration buffoonery, corruption, and incompetence.
