I believe Trump\u2019s latest plans are evil (Picture: REUTERS)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Here\u2019s something my friends and family have never heard before: I\u2019m completely lost for words.\u00a0<\/p>\n

It\u2019s taken me unusually long to gather my thoughts for this column because I just couldn\u2019t find what to say.<\/p>\n

My opinion<\/a> of Donald Trump<\/a> isn\u2019t exactly a secret, my disdain for his dangerous approach to\u00a0Ukraine<\/a> is well-documented, but even I didn\u2019t see his most recent move coming.<\/p>\n

Trump <\/a>says he wants peace, but at every turn, he is punishing Ukraine, not Russia<\/a>. He said he was tired of watching Ukrainian people die.\u00a0<\/p>\n

So why is he apparently preparing to deport 240,000 of them straight back into the jaws of a deadly war zone?\u00a0<\/p>\n

Reports at home and abroad suggest that the President is going to revoke the protections they\u2019ve enjoyed in the US since fleeing the conflict.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Let that sink in for a moment. These 240,000 humans are not abstract statistics \u2013 that\u2019s a quarter of a million mothers, fathers, and children who escaped Putin\u2019s missiles and brutality.<\/p>\n

There are no words to describe the wave of despair I felt upon hearing this news. My initial reaction isn\u2019t printable. But as I paced my room, a mixture of frustration and emotion simmering, my phone lit up as friends texted me in complete disbelief<\/a>.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The conclusion was unanimous. Evil. Not just pure evil, but evil on a historic and unprecedented scale.<\/p>\n
