This feels like a cheap throwaway after he shut the border to asylum seekers. Just papering over his own little fascist border policy

it is: he's been taking pointless and ineffectual actions like this since he started his presidential campaign to cover for the racist, homophobic and classist bullshit he's done in his 53 year long career and i'm dumbfounded by how well it works every time i see it plastered all over the lemmyverse .
