Mandatory stop-and-frisk. Deploying the military to fight street crime, break up gangs and deport immigrants. Purging the federal workforce and charging leakers.
Former president Donald Trump has steadily begun outlining his vision for a second-term agenda, focusing on unfinished business from his time in the White House and an expansive vision for how he would wield federal power. In online videos and stump speeches, Trump is pledging to pick up where his first term left off and push even further.
Where he earlier changed border policies to reduce refugees and people seeking asylum, hes now promising to conduct an unprecedented deportation operation. Where he previously moved to make it easier to fire federal workers, hes now proposing a new civil service exam. After urging state and local officials to take harsher measures on crime and homelessness, Trump says he is now determined to take more direct federal action.
In 2016, I declared I am your voice, Trump said in a speech last month at the Conservative Political Action Conference and repeated at his first 2024 campaign rally in Waco a few weeks later. Today, I add: I am your warrior. I am your justice. And for those who have been wronged and betrayed, I am your retribution.

Not a chance the orange cretin would win 100 electoral votes.
Stop Trump?

If he takes the presidency Democracy will die within 24-hrs.. They will be among the first political enemy's arrested or taken for a helicopter ride over DC. (think Augusto Pinochet). The slow walking of justice towards the orange one is mind numbing at best. Another week goes by and he still walks free.
