He wanted to buy Greenland and sell Puerto Rico

More tattling too late to matter.

A lifelong Republican who describes herself as “a kid from the Cleveland, Ohio, area,” [Elaine C. Duke, then President Trump’s acting secretary of homeland security in 2017] said she supported tougher enforcement of immigration laws, as long as it was tempered by a sense of humanity that she tried to exhibit when she volunteered to teach naturalization classes. But she described an administration that is often driven by ideology instead of deliberation, values politics over policy and is dominated by a president who embraces “hate-filled, angry and divisive” language.

“We get distracted by slogans, by maybe words we heard like the president allegedly saying ‘Haiti is a shithole,’” Ms. Duke said from her home overlooking the Occoquan River about 25 minutes south of Washington. “So we get only spun up in that, and then we never get to the issue.”

She said she was especially taken aback, during the response to Hurricane Maria’s devastation of Puerto Rico, when she heard Mr. Trump raise the possibility of “divesting” or “selling” the island as it struggled to recover.

“Can we outsource the electricity? Can we can we sell the island? You know, or divest of that asset?” (She said the idea of selling Puerto Rico was never seriously considered or discussed after Mr. Trump raised it.)

Ms. Duke says she is not ready to commit to voting for Mr. Trump again.

Which leaves open the possibility that despite her experiences, she may be ready by November 3.

“That’s a really hard question,” she said. “But given the choices, I don’t know yet.”

She said she supported the president’s efforts to tighten immigration security. But the president’s “America First” philosophy has veered toward “America Only,” she said.

She said the president and Mr. Miller were right about lax immigration laws that needed to be fixed, but she said the policy of separating families along the border — which her successor approved months after she left — was discussed, and rejected, while she was acting secretary.

Asked about Ms. Duke’s comments, Judd Deere, a White House spokesman, said that Mr. Trump “has kept his promise to the American people to reduce illegal immigration, secure the border, lower the crime rate and maintain law and order.”

“He has never wavered in his highest obligation to the American people: their safety and security,” Mr. Deere added.

Is that a response?

...but hey, do what you want...you will anyway.
