Time magazine did a detailed interview with Donald Trump. Here’s some of what Trump said he would or might do if re-elected, as is likely:
* Build migrant detention camps
* Deploy the U.S. military, both at the border and inland
* Let red states monitor women’s pregnancies and prosecute those who violate abortion bans.
* Withhold funds appropriated by Congress
* Fire U.S. Attorney who doesn’t carry out his order to prosecute someone
* Pardons for every one of his supporters accused of attacking the U.S. Capitol on Jan. 6, 2021, more than 800 of whom have pleaded guilty or been convicted by a jury.
* Deploy the National Guard to American cities as he sees fit
* A tariff of more than 10% on all imports
Going to be an interesting four years!

Deploying the US military at the border and inland...deploying the National Guard.
Sounds like that new movie - Civil War.
It's hardly going to help resolve the USA's many social and economic problems.
The USA's in a bad way.
I detest Trump. He didn't deliver on his promises in the last election. But there are major issues in the USA - like the open border - that no one is doing anything about. So I can fully understand why people would vote for Trump - because the problems are still there and getting worse. He is a grenade that they will throw into Washington - again. Who knows what the result of that will be, apart from chaos.
