Trump interview with Time magazine telling us exactly what he is going to do

In an interview with Time magazine trump made it clear he wouldn't rule out authoritarian measures on issues like this if he's reelected.

Actually the Time interview made it very clear that trump WILL be a dictator who would pardon all January 6th rioters, allow states to prosecute women who violate abortion bans, Use the national guard and military to deport 11 million undocumented immigrants, and fire U.S. attorneys who won't carry out orders to prosecute someone, pardon all January 6th rioters, fire career government employees for not being loyal, refuse to come to the aid of NATO allies who don't "pay up".

This is in trump's own words, so anyone minimizing this is being disingenuous.

Keep in mind this is in trump's own words.

For some of those "young people/protesters, etc.", threatening they will not vote for Biden, and "enjoy trump", if they abide by that threat, then they will be contributing to the end of Democracy.

Those threats are not idle. This will make what happened on January 6th look like Childs play.

I am beginning to doubt the content of these interviews.

Is there an interpreter present like Steven Miller or whoever does his Twoof So-called posts? (We know someone else is doing those as the contempt posts were taken down while he was in court. )

I believe that the interviews go down like this:

Trump: “Yahbuh geenuz whoo whoo” * pause and doze * “Oooork folk folkity folk grest” * puffs up cheeks * “Wappa wappa ding dong elephant camera wakka wakka” * makes poopy face and farting *

Trump to Media Translator: “I will be a dictator who will pardon all January 6th rioters, allow states to prosecute women who violate abortion bans, use the national guard and military to deport 11 million undocumented immigrants, and fire U.S. attorneys who won't carry out orders to prosecute political rivals, pardon all January 6th rioters, and fire career government employees for not being loyal. I will refuse to come to the aid of NATO allies who don't ‘pay up’.”

Note: I completely believe that these are items on an agenda that Trump is on-board with, but I also believe we’re being Reaganed. There’s a lot of what-he-meant-to-say going on and, yes, what’s being said is very ugly and unAmerican.

Just Trump. If he goes down, there is another one in the wings just like him.

12. I was commenting generally, and I agree with you, the threat is more than trump, whether he wins or loses.

I would suggest that anyone who cares, believe what they say. As you are.
