He’s openly plotting to persecute his enemies, assume kinglike powers, and deport millions of people. But at least we’ll all have flying cars!

Many of Trump’s proposals for his second term are surprisingly extreme, draconian, and weird, even for him. Here’s a running list of his most unhinged plans.

    I’m referring solely to immigration, which is the topic at hand. No one has claimed he is as bad as Trump overall, and I’m not sure how these links are supposed to make me feel better about how he’s actively persecuted immigrants and refugees. I mean, let’s be honest…

    Edit: “he’s old” is literally age discrimination. Of all the criticisms of Biden, “he’s old” is not relevant in the least.

      “he’s old” is literally age discrimination.

      I mean, it literally isn’t. Voters can choose any criteria to choose their political candidate.

      Of all the criticisms of Biden, “he’s old” is not relevant in the least.

      How is age not relevant? The risk of dementia quintuples from 70s to 80s. The elderly are more susceptible to almost every disease. Not to mention that the presidency is one of the most stressful jobs, just look at the before and after photographs of presidents.

      As in other studies, the ADAMS analysis showed that the prevalence of dementia increases significantly with age. Five percent of people ages 71 to 79, 24.2 percent of people 80 to 89, and 37.4 percent of those 90 years or older were estimated to have some type of dementia. The estimated rate of Alzheimer’s also rose greatly with older age — from 2.3 percent of people ages 71 to 79 to 18.1 percent of people 80 to 89 to 29.7 percent of those age 90 and older.
