Indeed, Her Majesty has dropped the digital bombshell that accuses Donald Trump of illicit deporting U.S. citizens—including children undergoing cancer treatment—without following due process. Accompanying a link to an article in Rolling Stone, this post sparked wildfire reactions, from outrage to disbelief-even strong defense for Trump himself.

That post by Clinton cruelly reads: “Donald Trump is not just illegally removing U.S. persons from the country without due process; he is illegally removing U.S. persons who are literal children undergoing care for cancer.” If proven, it would rank as one of the greatest humanitarian disasters during Trump’s presidency. But as expected, there was nothing unanimous in the responses.
User @1372colby might take that first award when saying, “Jesus. How ‘pro-life’ of him,” twisting what could really be taken as a direct shot against Trump’s strongly anti-abortion position. Responses were diverse; some expressed sorrow (😢), some one-liners denials (“You believe this bullshit. Lol”), with a few allusions to political mudslinging. One such user seemed so convinced that he/she posted a link to Politico as so-called evidence, only to be told “politico is bullshit.” Typical internet madness.
So the supporters such as @staceynthesky turned around and rated the senator with “keeping up with the good fight contest,” and responded with “Madam Secretary, thanks for calling people’s eyes back to his grievous criminal acts.” But not all flock conspired in agreement. @712gladys stated very bluntly their feelings: “Coming from @hillaryclinton no one cares what you say,” to which @gloriadloaiza retorted: “Ok Hillary, how many children did you harm when you supported wars?” That last little nugget threw quite a bit of a backlash with users bringing out the sword of deflection.
Most vigorous was the brawl where people would say regarding Trump’s morality. @danabo_bayna whined out the so-called “PRO-LIFE people.” The responses kept coming with “they are pro-fetus only” and “like pro-life and pro-guns is not a contradiction?” Meanwhile, @jenniferkristineschick, who dragged the MAGA supporters down and called them morally bankrupt, made another MAGA user shrugged it off by saying “Dems are so gullible.”
Some comments veered into a darker realm, with @tempotemptress stating that Trump should peacefully be removed from office and then sent to El Salvador to spend a lifetime in jail for crimes against humanity. Others wondered why no legal action had yet been attempted. “Why is there nothing in a place to stop this?” asked @adriannemica, generating replies that ranged from “The Constitution” to an outright call for revolution.
And then, there were the conspiracy theorists. @rosie reminded the populace to also “ask him about his kids’ cancer charity,” expansion to Trump’s past charity scandals. Also, @jorellana913 commented that Trump was “the worst president this country has ever had,” with another debate ignited not short of citing dictionary definitions in opposition to dictators.
Some of the voices in the maelstrom called for action instead. Where’s our Justice system? queried @kammelart. When will someone stop him? despaired @patti_michaud. But as would be expected, all speaking entered into extreme bickering across perceived party lines rather than getting permission to end some entire shouting.

That post by Clinton struck a discordant note across the board, but we shall wait and see if it even really matters. For now, the uproar is loud, defenses louder, and what may be actual truth? Probably buried under a mountain of hot takes.
