Trump accidentally ‘goes woke’ with three-word comment after forgetting name for ‘criminals’
President Donald Trump was recently criticized for sounding more “woke” than usual when he spoke about undocumented immigrants during a media interview. This happened while he was at the White House, swearing in his personal lawyer, Alina Habba, as the temporary U.S. Attorney for New Jersey.
Trump is known for using strong and often harsh words when talking about immigration. But during this recent appearance, people noticed he used softer language. Instead of calling undocumented immigrants “criminals” like he usually does, he referred to them as “people of crime.” This choice of words surprised many and sparked a lot of reactions online.
Some people felt that his new way of speaking sounded too politically correct, or as they put it, “woke.” One person online pointed out that Trump often uses strange or unexpected words. They joked that maybe next time he would say “irregular immigrants” instead of “illegal immigrants.” Another person simply commented, “Wow, woke much?” while someone else laughed and said, “Crime involved individuals.”
In the same press conference, Trump talked about how federal courts have been stopping his plans to deport suspected gang members. He said the court system is now getting too involved and protecting bad people. He added that the judges should let him and his team do their job.
Trump had recently used an old law called the Alien Enemies Act, which was last used during World War II. This law allows the government to deport noncitizens without giving them a chance to defend themselves in court. Trump used it to try to deport people he claimed were part of a violent Venezuelan gang called Tren de Aragua.
The people deported weren’t sent back to Venezuela, though. Instead, they were sent to El Salvador. Trump’s administration paid $6 million so that 300 of the suspected gang members could be locked up in El Salvador for one year. The U.S. also deported two top members of another gang, MS-13, to El Salvador as well.
So far, the U.S. government hasn’t shared any names or evidence proving that the people deported are actually gang members or that they committed crimes in the United States. A judge has temporarily blocked the deportations while things are being reviewed in court.
The whole situation has sparked a debate. Some people are questioning Trump’s word choices and actions, while others are supporting his efforts to crack down on crime and immigration.
