    There is one constant with the Trump regime: they look at something - anything - and invariably wonder “How can we make people’s lives more miserable”. And they follow through. Every. Single. Time.

    I literally can’t think of a single good thing Trump or his henchmen have ever said or done - even involuntarily. It’s all deliberate cruelty, and for no good reason that I can discern other than to get people used to living miserably and prepare them for harsher fascism to further entrench the regime.

    I doubt Trump himself has actually heard about any of this, but if he did happen to hear that feds were prosecuting for ‘housing discrimination’, I’m SURE his knee jerk reaction would be, “That’s what they did to my dad! Not on my watch!”

    In another case, a predominantly white Michigan township allowed an asphalt plant to open on its outskirts, away from its population centers but near subsidized housing complexes in the neighboring poor, mostly Black city of Flint.

    Unlike his dad, these cases aren’t about denying housing to minorities, but mostly about doing harm to places that already have minorities. Again, I doubt he knows that, but I bet that Stephen Miller would make sure Trump approved, if needed.
