Internet scorches ‘old man’ Trump for ordering immigrant families to ‘get off his lawn’
President Donald Trump started his Thursday morning by comparing immigration to telling people to get off his lawn. The comment has become a meme used by young people to mock angry old men screaming at them.
CNN host Brian Stelter also noted the “fun fact” that the series of tweets on immigration marks the first time the president has called something “insane” since being elected to the presidency.

Some immediately reacted to what they called an example of the president’s cruelty. Others were quick to post their own gifs and memes of angry, elderly people and troll the president. You can see the best of the best below:
If people who had been brutalized and were in fear for their own & their children’s lives were standing on my front lawn, I would try to help them – but that might be just because I’m not a sick, cruel, racist scumsucking sociopath.

If a person showed up on my front lawn with a child and running from someone who wanted to cause them harm, I like to think I’d invite them in and try to get them some help, not tell them “OUT”.

If someone is standing on my front lawn the first thing I say is “how may I help you” I don’t say OUT

But if they were on my front lawn, I would invite them in for lemonade and see about getting them more help.

“And stay off my lawn!!!” Absolutely the American Way! Great thing to say on the Day After Independence Day, douchenozzle…#ToiletTwitler #ToneDeafPrez

I think Trump has only ever watched a lawn being mowed, & that was for a #PhotoOp with a kid.
Trump reads nothing, & listens to experts only slightly more! His comparison is ridiculous of course, NO ONE would separate children, & LOSE THEM in another state for walking on lawn!

Bro, my front lawn isn’t the land of the free….it’s my front lawn…you bum

Also first tweet by Trump expressing self awareness. He literally realizes that he is essentially a crazy privileged old guy shouting at people to get off his lawn

What if the person standing in my front lawn was a woman with a black eye and a crying child?

Donald Trump is a 72 year old white man. The only thing surprising about him saying, “get off my lawn” is that it took him this long to say it.

Michael Avenatti says he has El Chapo’s former jail cell — which the drug dealer described as ‘torture’: report
Attorney Michael Avenatti, the colorful attorney who came to prominence representing Stormy Daniels against Donald Trump, is unhappy with his jail conditions.
On Monday, his attorney wrote to the federal judge overseeing his trial to complain about the jail conditions Avenatti is experiencing during pre-trial detention.
Scott Srebnick, Avenatti's attorney, wrote to Judge Paul Gardephe to complain about the "notorious 10-South" section of the Metropolitan Correctional Center, where he is being held in the Special Housing Unit.
"He is in a cell reportedly once occupied by El Chapo, on a floor that houses individuals charged with terrorism offenses," Avenatti's attorney wrote.

It is Greta Thunberg vs Donald Trump at climate-focused Davos gathering of economic elites: report
The starkly opposed visions of US President Donald Trump and Swedish teen activist Greta Thunberg on climate change will clash in Davos on Tuesday as the World Economic Forum tries to face up to the perils of global warming on its 50th meeting.
The four-day gathering of the world's top political and business leaders in the Swiss Alps gets under way seeking to meet head-on the dangers to both the environment and economy from the heating of the planet.
Trump, who has repeatedly expressed scepticism about climate change, is set to give the first keynote address of Davos 2020 on Tuesday morning, on the same day as his impeachment trial opens at the Senate in Washington.

‘Which Senator up this year most deserves to lose?’: Preet Bharara flooded with replies to provocative question
Former United States Attorney Preet Bharara asked his 1.2 million Twitter followers a provocative question on the eve of President Donald Trump's impeachment trial.
With worries that Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-KY) is presiding over a sham trial, many analysts have suggested that the Senate itself will be on trial.
"Which Senator up this year most deserves to lose?" Bharara, who was fired by Trump, asked.
There are a number of potentially vulnerable Republicans facing voters in 2020, including McConnell himself, Sen. Joni Ernst (R-IA), Sen. Susan Collins (R-ME), Sen. Martha McSally (R-AZ), Sen. Cory Gardner (R-CO), Sen. Thom Tillis (R-NC), Sen. John Cornyn (R-TX), Sen. Steve Daines (R-MT) and Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-SC).
