Couple of new Trumpisms overnight it seems
Reopened the US refugee programme, but only for 'persecuted' white South Africans
Trump issued a statement slamming the government of South Africa for treating the white Afrikaner population terribly poorly.
And he did a partial reverse ferret on the complete shutdown of the US refugee programme, presumably because he thinks they're the most persecuted people on the planet.
Tried to fire America's election watchdog. She refused.
Ellen Wintraub chairs the Federal Election Commission - which keeps tabs on whether US elections are being held legally and properly.
She tweeted yesterday that she had been sent a letter, signed by Trump, which read: "You are hereby removed as a Member of the Federal Election Commission, effective immediately."
But she's staying put, saying Trump's bid to unseat her is not legal.
She wrote: "There's a legal way to replace FEC commissioners-this isn't it. I've been lucky to serve the American people & stir up some good trouble along the way. That's not changing anytime soon."
For someone so determined to sow mistrust in elections to try to remove the person in charge of their administration is chilling, to say the least.
To try and do it illegally takes it to another level of yikes.
