Trump's Retreats Are Just a Tactical Withdrawal
The US president's attempt to "de-escalate" the conflict in Minneapolis has been met with skepticism by many, as it appears to be little more than a tactical withdrawal designed to buy time.
While Trump's move to remove CBP agent Gregory Bovino from the spotlight may have been seen as a positive development, his decision to exclude Miller and Noem from an Oval Office meeting suggests that he is still intent on advancing his anti-immigrant agenda. This strategic maneuver serves to minimize public outcry while maintaining the momentum behind his divisive policies.
In Minneapolis, residents have bravely defied the script written by Trump's allies, refusing to engage in violent protests despite facing intimidation and harassment from ICE agents. The heroic actions of volunteers delivering groceries to homes under ICE scrutiny highlight a stark contrast between the fear-mongering rhetoric and real-world resistance.
Trump's remarks to Democratic leaders in Minnesota were swiftly followed by a return to form, with him warning Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey that he was "playing with fire" for standing up to ICE. The president's message of defiance remains unchanged, despite fleeting appearances of restraint.
As the pressure on Trump eases, his true intentions become clear. No pivot has been made; instead, ICE continues its aggressive recruitment efforts and detention facility expansion. In a bizarre twist, Trump even filed a lawsuit against the IRS seeking $10 billion in compensation for leaked tax returns, which he can ultimately decide himself as head of the agency.
The pattern is unmistakable: Trump does just enough to get through a damaging news cycle before reverting to his old ways. The recent threats regarding Greenland serve as a reminder that this volatility is always present.
For those battling Trump, the key takeaway is not to celebrate an apparent retreat too early but rather to resist until he retreats and push even harder when the time is right. Anything less would be surrendering to his tactics.

Trump's just playin' it cool now, but don't think for a sec that he's changin' his tune. I mean, sure, he took out that CBP agent, but it's all part of the game. And let's be real, Noem and Miller are still gonna get their anti-immigrant agenda through somehow. The thing is, people in Minneapolis aren't havin' it, and that's what Trump's really scared about. Those volunteers deliverin' groceries to ICE targets? That's the kind of resistance we need more of. We can't just sit back and wait for Trump to get his act together. No way, we gotta keep pushin' hard until he's outta office for good! 
. Like, can't he just make up his mind already? First, he's all about de-escalation, then BAM! He's back to being super aggressive again. It's like playing a game of chess with no rules. And don't even get me started on this whole "tactical withdrawal" thing... it's just code for "I'm not gonna lose this battle". The fact that he's still pushing his anti-immigrant agenda despite the backlash is just, ugh 
. It's like, come on Trump, you're supposed to be a unifying figure, but all you seem to do is divide people. And what's up with the IRS lawsuit? Like, isn't that just a classic example of him trying to distract us from his real agenda? 
. Like, Trump thinks we're gonna forget about all the stuff he's done in the past just 'cause he did a few PR stunts? Newsflash, pal: we got a bad memory, not a short one 
. And what's with him going after the IRS for $10 billion? That's like playing a game of "who can be more ridiculous" 
. Anyway, I'm just saying, we should keep calling him out on his BS and not let him get away with it. We gotta stay vigilant, you know? 
. I think it's pretty clear that this whole thing is a ploy to keep the spotlight on him and his agenda 
. And honestly, I'm not sure what's more concerning - the fact that he's still pushing his anti-immigrant agenda or the fact that people are actually buying into it 
. Can we just focus on making sure ICE is held accountable for their actions instead of getting caught up in Trump's drama? 
& btw, the fact that ppl r so quick 2 celebrate without looking at the bigger picture is kinda scary...it's all about who gets to decide what's best for america, not just one guy 
I'm low-key shocked that Trump's trying to de-escalate the situation in Minneapolis, lol... like, doesn't he know people see right through it? 
And btw, have you seen those volunteers delivering groceries to homes under ICE scrutiny? 
That's some serious #Resist vibes! 
It just shows how out of touch Trump is with reality. The thing is, we can't celebrate this "tactical withdrawal" because it's still the same old Trump. We need to keep pushing back and holding him accountable for his actions 
. It's like he thinks he's above the law or something? And those volunteers delivering groceries to homes under ICE scrutiny are true heroes - we should be supporting them even more, not just acknowledging their bravery 
I mean, first he's all like "I'm de-escalating" and then BAM! He's still trying to stir up trouble. It's like playing a game of chess with him, but instead of pieces, it's just your sanity 
Anyway, I think it's time to take Trump at face value and not get caught up in all the drama. After all, he's like a train wreck – you don't wanna look, but you can't help staring 
. Let's just keep on resisting until he actually retreats! 
. Removing one CBP agent from the spotlight isn't exactly a bold move 
. And what's with excluding Miller and Noem from that Oval Office meeting? 
.
. It's like he wants ppl to think he's not the one fueling the flames 
.
️, but we can't get ahead of ourselves 
. We need to keep resisting until he actually retreats and shows some real signs of backing down
