www.rollingstone.com Every Awful Thing Trump Has Promised to Do in a Second Term

Donald Trump has made a slew of promises related to the economy, immigration, climate change, and more should he win the 2024 election.

The former president has pushed a slew of terrifying proposals, both publicly and privately, that he plans to unleash on America should he take down Biden

Here’s what’s at stake:

He will indict Biden and his other political enemies
He will round up, intern, and deport undocumented immigrants
He will send the military to the border
He will invade Mexico
He will round up the homeless and send the National Guard into cities to fight crime
He will bring back the death penalty in a big way
He will make stuff more expensive by taxing all imported goods
He will reevaluate America’s participation in NATO
He will roll back all of Biden’s climate progress and reinvest in fossils fuels
He will construct “freedom cities” filled with flying cars
He will try to overhaul the education system in the MAGA image
He will torch the First Amendment by going after non-MAGA media
He will legally delegitimize trans Americans
He will pardon the Jan. 6 rioters
He will gut the federal government and take unprecedented control of what’s left

Can we stop calling insurrectionists “rioters”?

He will construct “freedom cities” filled with flying cars

Is that a joke?

He wants to indict Biden, whilst simultaneously creating / wanting freedom to never be charged with anything when you're president. Which has to happen before he's able to become president again.

He will round up, intern, and deport undocumented immigrants

A few months later, farmers are surprised there are no cheap workers anymore to help in the fields. Farmers get in (more) financial problems, prices start to rise in the supermarket as supply shrinks. Trump blames Democrats for his actions. Rural voters get more angry.

I hope he dies of syphilis.

Trump pulls pages out of other people’s handbooks. His MAGA bullshit was Reagan’s. Now in 2024 he’s walking in Hitler’s footsteps. I’m not saying ”Hitler” as a buzz word. I’m saying it, because he’s literally doing it. His whole schtick is Hitler’s and his* base are lapping it up like mindless fools. Open your eyes and reject authoritarian assholes like Trump. It’s all fun and games until the things you believe in are eventually taken from you. I might not agree with everything others do, but I sure as fuck believe in people’s rights to determine what’s right for themselves. Trump and all his cronies believe they know what’s right for others — they don’t. They know what’s right for themselves. If you want to vote for Trump, vote for him. But don’t think that something you hold dear won’t eventually be attacked by him or people like him.

Edit: a word*

Maybe we will get the Bell Riots after all.

The only thing I'm sure he will do is ensure that he keeps the power for the rest of his life. USA will have his first dictator!!

The problem is that this sounds like a very sexy shopping list to people on the other side. Some of these are enticing even to a lot of democrats, especially the ones about crime in cities. We know it’s a bullshit promise that would fail spectacularly, but the idea of it is scintillating to some. I fear for their votes.

But muh gEnOcidE Joe!

I try really hard to believe that assassination is not a solution

You know, it makes the guy a martyr, and riles up his followers.

But they seem pretty riled up already.

And they and he are really, really wanting to make America a totalitarian state

And if they did, America would break up.

It would be a generally bad result, maybe good for California.

Actually I hear a lot about liberals with guns, I guess the left lacks armed idiots

What a shit hole and waste of flesh this man is composed of.

15
Freedom Cities? With Flying Cars?

12
He will be more aggressive than the first term for sure.

11
this list is actually comedically villainous, who tf agrees with this guy anymore?

Biden with no message of hope and other than he is not Trump. That is sure one dangerous way to try to save democracy. Trump is the worst option. Biden still has a small amount of time to course correct and try to connect with people other than fear.

Dont forget building an iron dome!

He will overhaul the education system in the MAGA image

What? How? How do you fuck up something that is already that damn broken?! That’s like pouring gasoline on a piece of shit and lighting it on fire.

Please no. Seems there's never a good political option.

Just put of curiosity, when did he say that he would invade mexico?

well with Biden

He will indict Trump and his other political enemies

He will round up, intern, and deport undocumented immigrants

He will send the military to the border

He will send the militarized police forces into cities to fight crime instead of national police reform

He will make stuff more expensive by taxing all imported goods

He will only promises to try to overhaul the education system

He will be silent on legally delegitimized trans Americans

He will gut the federal government and make it all up to each state to decide everything

He will support genocide

not much difference
