Trump says his plan to expel millions of immigrants will be a 'bloody story'

Trump says his plan to expel millions of immigrants will be a ‘bloody story’ (The Independent)

Donald Trump has issued yet another ominous warning about his potential second term in the Oval Office, this time promising a "bloody story" for the millions of immigrants he intends to deport.

He made the comments at a campaign rally in Mosinee, Wisconsin on Saturday, echoing the broader Republican National Committee’s 2024 platform. The GOP's plans for America after a Trump victory include aggressive immigration enforcement and mass deportations.

That's when Trump alluded to the blood.

"And ya know getting them out will be a bloody story," Trump said. "[Undocumented immigrants] should have never been allowed to come into our country. Nobody checked them."

. . .his supporters would be cheering the bloodshed all the way until the massive economic collapse that is unleashed by the destruction of the underground economy that, like it or not, the United States is addicted to.

What Defines a Terrorist Threat?

Making a terrorist threat, sometimes known as making a criminal threat or by similar language, is a crime in every state. People make terrorist threats when they threaten to commit a crime that would reasonably result in death, terror, serious injury, or serious physical property damage.

...

A person usually makes a terrorist threat verbally or in writing, but the threat does not have to be explicit nor expressed in a written or verbal format. A person can make a terrorist threat through innuendo or even body language. Some courts have ruled that a person can be convicted of making a terrorist threat if a reasonable person could conclude that the person's actions under the circumstances conveyed a threat to commit violence. However, some state laws specifically require that a person make a verbal statement; body language or non-verbal communications are not enough in those states.

...

The threat a person makes must be reasonable in order to qualify as a terrorist threat. For example, you cannot commit a terrorist threat if you threaten to destroy the state capital by ordering your alien army to do it for you. A reasonable person must be able to conclude that the threat is credible. If you never intended to commit the crime, that's no defense--it's sufficient for a conviction that someone else might reasonably believe that you did.

Threatening to have his willfully ignorant racist followers break into people's homes and violently drag them out or maim/kill them on the spot.

It is VOTER INTIMIDATION and he should be arrested for it.

Edited due to aggressive spell check on my tablet thinking it knows what I meant more than I don.

They should be commended when they do - no "sanewashing" in this piece!

this will destroys tens of thousands of businesses that employ immigrants, and plunge the nation into a deep depression.
Even if he doesn't use the military to do this, his followers will take the law into their own hands and pretty much do it for him.
We're being told there could be civil war if Trump loses, but it could actually come even if he wins.
There is an evil at work here that is dedicated to the end of our Constitutional, Democratic Republic.
We must maintain the Presidency and the Senate, take back the House this fall, and be prepared for possible chaos. At least, if we win, we will hold the reigns of government, and can maintain some degree of order while protecting the government.

This will cause collapse of the economy. Trump trash men will abandon their families in droves as the price of everything goes through the roof.

Enjoy what you wrought.

He only quit hiring them when it became politically inconvenient.
