Trump declares he deported 50 million people (just like he declared he built the entire border wall he promised. And why not inflate the numbers?). MAGA cheers. Trump takes a fake victory lap.OK, so the “criminals” are way less than 1% of the migrants. So he’s not deporting 20 million like he promised now? Biden deported 1.1 million people in 2023. https://t.co/C2tWfV4JJ9

The alternative is: it blows up in his face, and his head explodes in an apoplectic fit.
The only problem there is: then we get JD Vance.
Deportation Potemkin village, coming up. As I have said before, It and its followers will be satisfied with tv of frightened deportees. Expect telegenic stuff that really doesn't do anything. If it did, a lot of agriculture ans construction oxes would be gored and that's not going to happen. I could be wrong but if they push this through , invest in ammunition,The “tell" is that Trump says he’ll do this on Day One. Without an SOD? Yeah, right. Even if he could get the Senate to recess the day of his inauguration, they’d have to be out 11 days before he could start to make recess appointments. He can take his hand off that Bible and start signing orders there on the platform, it still doesn’t mean anything gets started for months.
If he declares a “national emergency,” somebody with standing can sue and throw it into court (and an injunction) instanter. Trump responds…how? Waiting for the Gaetz hearings?
Or he waits several months while Department heads get confirmed and figure out where the bathrooms are. (Cheney and Rumsfeld knew what they were doing and it took them how long to organize the invasion of Iraq and suppression of dissent? Trump is picking FoxNews hosts who don’t have the first clue how government works, much less how DOD and DOJ function. If he gets his way, he’ll have people ready, willing, but…able? Yeah, right.). So, yeah, Trump is gonna Potemkin village the whole thing. He’s got to keep telling us how “strong” he is, because the minute it’s obvious he isn’t…the house of cards collapses.
Trump won’t be effective or scary. He’ll be too busy keeping all the plates in the air. Which is why I disdain all the Cassandras yelling about how bad this is. Trump is powerful because Trump says so, not because he’s got a team of Cheneys and Rumsfelds behind him. The Cassandras keep telling us how powerful Trump is, so be afraid ! Be very afraid! 😱
Whose side are they on, again?
