Trump falsely claimed credit for deploying ICE agents to 13 airports during the DHS shutdown, citing a misleading paperclip analogy.
President Donald Trump claimed credit for deploying ICE agents to 13 airports during the ongoing DHS shutdown, calling the move his idea and comparing it to the invention of the paperclip—a claim he inaccurately dated to 182 years ago.
He cited a vague historical anecdote, falsely attributing the paperclip’s origin to 1867, while the modern design emerged in the late 19th century.
The deployment, reportedly influenced by Fox News, has led to long TSA delays and viral images of idle agents, with critics questioning its purpose and potential for racial profiling.
Trump also criticized agents wearing masks, despite earlier calls for aggressive immigration enforcement.
The move underscores a funding stalemate in Congress, with Republicans rejecting Democratic proposals, while Trump’s incoherent remarks and factual errors have fueled concerns about his cognitive state.
