TUSCALOOSA, Ala. (AP) As Donald Trump faces growing scrutiny over his increasingly authoritarian and violent rhetoric, Fox News host Sean Hannity gave his longtime friend a chance to assure the American people that he wouldnt abuse power or seek retribution if he wins a second term.
But instead of offering a perfunctory answer brushing off the warnings, Trump stoked the fire.
Except for day one, the GOP front-runner said Tuesday night before a live audience in Davenport, Iowa. I want to close the border, and I want to drill, drill, drill.

And in case anyone missed it, he reenacted the exchange.
We love this guy, Trump said of Hannity. He says, Youre not going to be a dictator, are you? I said: No, no, no, other than day one. Were closing the border, and were drilling, drilling, drilling. After that, Im not a dictator.

If the Democrats fail to capitalize on this with their own attack ads and Slug Virus wins (Providence forbid) then both parties have truly failed this country. For very very different reasons but failed nonetheless.

I'll expand and say if Trump manages to win, then those who voted for him also failed the country.

In addition, those who don't vote for Biden because of Israel/Gaza will be just as responsible.

For sure, the Republican party has already failed this country by going further and further into the fringe since the '90s every election. But the Democrats haven't failed the country yet if Slug Virus wins because even the threat of a fascist who has annihilated any semblance of a mask he once had in a way that violates the conservation of energy, can't get them to fight dirty for the greater good, they will.

But Biden has to EARN my vote!

Same thing both sides, etc etc

Yes. Someone had a big thread here about it. Can't find it at the moment but it is also part of the project 2025 thing.

Deploying the military domestically to fight crime, a big tax on foreign imports and record-setting deportations are among Trumps main 2024 pledges.

https://www.nbcnews.com/politics/2024-election/trump-campaign-promises-second-term-rcna138621

At a Donald Trump rally, it is often an off-the-cuff one-liner that ends up driving headlines.
In between, in speech after speech, the former president is laying out an aggressive and ambitious policy agenda for a second term one that makes elements of his first term in the White House look mild in comparison.
Most of the agenda items arent brand new on immigration and other issues, Trump is making a lot of the same promises he did during his 2016 campaign that never came to fruition due to a lack of congressional support or limitations on his executive authority. But there are some unique areas Trump is focused on now that telegraph a more hard-line approach if he returns to office.
Trump makes many consequential pronouncements suddenly, like his recent statement about letting Russia attack a NATO ally that wasnt paying enough for defense. But here are some of the campaign promises Trump is repeating most often from the campaign trail.
Record-setting deportations
Immigration was perhaps the biggest driving force, policywise, behind Trumps 2016 campaign. Now, he has unofficially deemed it the top priority of his 2024 White House bid, speaking in depth about it during every campaign speech he has given.
On my first day back in the White House, I will terminate every open borders policy of the Biden administration, stop the invasion on our southern border and begin the largest domestic deportation operation in American history, Trump said at an Iowa campaign event in December.
Trump made similar promises back in 2016 that he wasnt able to keep, deporting fewer people than President Barack Obama did in each of his two terms, according to federal government data. If anything, Republican voters might be more animated by border and immigration policy now, and NBC News latest poll showed Trumps biggest policy advantage over President Joe Biden was on the subject of securing the border.
Trump has also promised not only to reinstate his travel ban targeting certain Muslim-majority countries but to expand the ban to include Gazan refugees and institute certain ideological screenings for all immigrants.
I banned refugees from Syria, I banned refugees from Somalia very dangerous places and from all of the most dangerous places all over the world, I banned them, Trump said at an Iowa rally in October. In my second term, were going to expand each and every one of those bans, he added.
In 2016, Trump repeatedly promised to build a U.S.-Mexico border wall that was 1,000 miles long. What ended up coming together was 453 miles of border wall, the vast majority of which was reinforcement of existing walls. Trump also vowed that Mexico would cover the cost, which it did not. This time around, in a similarly ambitious fashion, Trump promises to finish what he started.
A hard-line approach on global affairs including a big import tax
The former president has projected a my-way-or-the-highway approach to international dealings, floating the idea of a universal 10% tax on all goods coming from countries outside the U.S., in an attempt to prioritize domestic production.
On the campaign trail, Trump often generalizes his economic approach as America first, threatening big tariffs on goods from companies that choose to outsource labor and production from the U.S.
Economists on both sides of the aisle have cautioned against Trumps universal proposal. A center-right think tank, American Action Forum, said Trumps proposed policy would distort global trade, discourage economic activity, and have general negative consequences on the American economy. Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen, meanwhile, said the plan would raise the cost of a wide variety of goods that American businesses and consumers rely on.
Trumps recent comments about Russia and NATO also drew a rebuke from the head of NATO, who said it could put at risk the lives of American and European soldiers.
A military crackdown on crime
Trump has suggested using the National Guard to address crime, which he argues is worse than its ever been.
The former president often alludes to expanding the military domestically to address crime in cities. Referring to Washington, D.C., and Chicago as crime dens, Trump has vowedto intervene with military force without gaining the necessary permission from local leaders.

One of the things Ill do youre supposed to not be involved in that, you just have to be asked by the governor or the mayor to come in the next time, Im not waiting, Trump said.
There has traditionally been a bright dividing line between the military and domestic law enforcement. But figures on the right have argued for a more aggressive use of the Insurrection Act by Trump to deploy the military domestically during a second term.
Trump has also upped his harsh rhetoric on crime: For certain low-level crimes, Trump has suggested the punishment of death.
Very simply, if you rob a store, you can fully expect to be shot as you are leaving that store, shot, Trump said to a rowdy California GOP convention crowd in September.
Trump also routinely insists that the death penalty should be instituted for drug dealers, depending on the severity of their offenses.

Eliminating the Department of Education and using federal dollars to fight local mandates
Trump intends to slash the federal department entirely, a 4,400-person operation with a $68 billion budget. Trump claims this would give full educational authority back to the states, even though an elimination of the department wouldnt directly transfer over any new state power.
While Trump talks about returning power to states and localities, another promise met with roaring applause at each rally is to cut the funding of any public school system that has a mask mandate for child safety, an increasingly rare authorization.
The former president floated eliminating the Department of Education when running in 2016. While in office, he attempted an unsuccessful merger of the Education and Labor departments into one entity. Trump also attempted to cut billions from the departments budget that would have ended subsidized student loans and the public service loan forgiveness program.

Political retaliation against Biden
One of Trumps most consistent talking points on the trail centers on his intention to prosecute Biden if he regains executive power.
I will appoint a real special prosecutor to go after the most corrupt president in the history of America, Joe Biden, and go after the Biden crime family, Trump said in June at his Bedminster, New Jersey, residence, just hours after being arraigned at a federal courthouse in Miami on charges alleging willful retention of classified documents.
Trump often points to the 91 felony counts he is facing as evidence of a two-tiered system of weaponized justice that he says has opened Pandoras box.
During a South Carolina rally last week, Trump seemed to sardonically shift that messaging around, saying he no longer wanted to seek revenge on Biden because he was too incompetent. When Trump asked the crowd in a tongue-in-cheek manner if they agreed with not taking revenge on Biden, shouts of no and ardent boos filled the arena.

Yeah scary stuff, shame Biden is doing everything he can to lose an election with such high stakes

Yeah, it drives me crazy how the "liberal media bias" gets thrown around and legitimized because nobody legitimate in the Dem party or media challenges it (these sack of shit media organizations don't even defend themselves from slander by Faux News and right-wing conspiracies/propaganda, instead they do things like attack Obama for daring to defend himself against the reprehensible coverage Faux gave him).

Fucking this. It still pisses me off that the mainstream media circled the wagons around Faux News when the Obama administration tried to do something about Faux News.

Meanwhile, nice, polite Republicans will nicely and politely vote for Trump in the hope that Trump will do what they don't dare to do vs. their "enemies".

Drill baby drill

As a terminally online leftist who has never voted before and has no plans to ever, Biden just doesnt electrify or inspire me enough. So Im happy to stand by and watch while the guys with swastika neck tattoos take over the government all the while blaming you for it because you hurt my fragile feefees.

But you might notice some people more tense

Obviously most of this is complete hot air and bullshit but he will absolutely enforce the wind ban and oil power because that makes him and his buddies money. He would also enforce, as much as he can, the firing of people he doesn't like because he loves sycophants more than anything else. The amount of reshuffling he wants to do though, I don't know how much he can actually sign off on. I would also worry about the trans student protection because that's an easy executive order for him to sign and he's motivated to get rid of it because Biden did it. I'm not sure how much actual power an executive order has though. It's still gotta jump through some hoops. We can only hope, with the slim chance he actually wins, that he doesn't have nearly as much power as he thinks he does.
