The second occupation of the White House by Donald Trump has proven to be far more destructive of the laws and principles of the United States and its Constitution than even the most pessimistic prognosticators imagined. And exacerbating the damage done is the fact that Trump routinely makes matters worse when he is confronted with his offenses.

That was demonstrated this week when Sen. Chris Van Hollen travelled to El Salvador to arrange a meeting with his Maryland constituent, Kilmar Abrego Garcia, who was abducted by Trump’s thugs and carted off to a gulag in El Salvador without the due process that everyone is entitled to in the American justice system. Garcia has also suffered the defamatory abuse of Trump’s MAGA media propagandists.

After first being refused, Van Hollen was eventually permitted to see Abrego Garcia and ascertain his welfare and treatment while in custody. The meeting was a significant step forward to what should be Abrego Garcia’s release, and it was widely reported in the U.S. press.
Among the media that posted stories about the meeting was the New York Times. Their headline accurately stated that “Senator Meets With Wrongly Deported Maryland Man in El Salvador.” And that honesty was taken as some sort of challenge by the Trump administration to pile on with more lies and callous disregard for human rights. The White House posted the following…
Thanks White House hack, for providing this additional proof that Trump is in Contempt of Court for non-compliance with a court order to facilitate the return of Kilmar Abrego Garcia from El Salvador.

You really have to wonder just how severely disturbed one has to be to get on Trump’s White House staff. This attempt to mock what is a profoundly gross violation of international law and human rights is not only repulsive, it actually harms Trump’s already weak arguments for having deported Abrego Garcia, and for maintaining his incarceration. Trump’s White House is actually affirming that he is deliberately in Contempt of Court.
For starters, they crossed out the word “Wrongly,” which contradicts their own admission that Abrego Garcia’s deportation was the result of “an administrative error.”
Secondly, they also crossed out the words “Maryland Man,” and replaced them with “MS-13 Illegal Alien. However, there is no evidence whatsoever that Abrego Garcia is, or ever was, affiliated with MS-13 or any other gang. Furthermore, in the 15 years that he has lived in the U.S. he has never been arrested or charged with any crime.
Finally, they added the words “Who’s Never Coming Back” to end of the headline, referring to their insistence that Trump and his administration have no intention bringing Abrego Garcia back home, despite the ruling by a federal court ordering his return, which was upheld 9-0 by the Supreme Court. That’s gonna come in handy when hearings are held to determine whether Trump should be held in Contempt of Court.
For his part, Trump took time off from golfing to address this matter with a comment on his failing Twitter ripoff, Truth Social, saying that Van Hollen “looked like a fool,” who was “begging for attention.” And for that Trump called him a “grandstander.” All of which proves that Trump is still the master of projection and is staring into a mirror when composing his insults of others. Has there ever been a more foolish, attention grabbing, grandstander than Trump?
