The goal, if the old fool can be said to have one, isn’t to have a consistent and coherent policy but to present as being dominating on all topics.
Command of the military and police by having big parades and deploying troops in domestic spaces.
Control of money with import taxes and gifts to friendly fellow moneyed people at his sole whim.
Control of people’s movement, who stays and goes with their ICE gestapo acting with impunity.
Control of morality, dehumanizing the LGBTQ+ community and deeming anyone not fitting their vision of ‘normal’ as being undeserving of support.
You know, totally not the strongman/dictator/fascist thing…
This one’s probably a direct consequence of paying bounties per head.
Enforcing immigration law has been a political talking point for decades. Enough that Biden and Obama have deported more illegal immigrants than Trump.
So guess what’s left? Not that many. Certainly not many dangerous criminals.
So if they want to deport thousands, they have to go find thousands. You know, the thousands that explicitly were not a problem. Because we didn’t really have a problem.
Biden and Obama have deported more illegal immigrants than Trump.
Credit where credit is due: I think Trump has probably taken the lead in deporting legal immigrants.
And they can’t admit that all of this could be easily done through the proper channels that provide people with due process, because that would be giving credit to Obama and Biden.
We had a problem for some time during the Biden admin. Immigrants were jam up at the border and the government was overwhelmed. I know a dude who walked for a month to get here from Honduras. Imagine finally getting to the border and the whole thing is a clusterfuck, no food, no water, no shelter.

Workers and executives, if what I’ve read is correct.
