Trump is using "Gestapo" tactics against people in this country by giving Police, Border Patrol, and ICE more POWER to indiscriminately throw people to the ground, strip parents from their children, terrorize children at school, send them to deportation centers, etc.

What Trump is also doing is terrorizing citizens of this country, regardless of age, ethnicity, etc., is to FEAR people, HATE people, and TURN on one another. Just like what Hitler ordered the Gestapo to do in the countries he invaded prior and during WWII.
