I think Trump is essentially kicking out anyone he feels he can - it doesn’t matter about service to the country etc- we’re seeing that now around the removal of those with green cards but with criminal records- it’s all a numbers game and Trump needs high numbers of evicted “illegal” immigrants- mostly law abiding tax paying green card holders but with some criminal record or those in the process of applying for residency are the low hanging fruit - they’re easy to locate and unlikely to be violent.

The drug dealers and “scum” as he’s called them are likely to be far less accessible - there will still be 100,000s of foreign criminals left after 100,000s of mostly law abiding people have been kicked out -but it’s the numbers that matter- although even those will be lied about no doubt

I don’t think the colour of skin or religious affiliation will save these people especially if they were registered Democrat or independent at some stage or on any way critics the regime whom are now using Palantir AI to build purge lists

We’ve seen Trump openly mocking the Catholic pope already

I also distinctly remember posters here not comprehending that they are like frogs being slow boiled and the inflection point on the fascism slide long way past the now torn checks and balances

It’s the MAGA playbook - it’s all an act- an illusion -but it works- that’s the frightening thing- American newspapers and media are appearing gutless and weak- Trump has surrounded himself with the illusion of a press corps but they’re simple pro Trump so called journalists - he speaks not daily or weekly but hourly- flooding the news and media channels with Trump-gumpf- journalists can’t keep up- and those that try are simply mocked and insulted by Trump.

Do the American people care? I’m beginning to think they don’t- America economically is going down the toilet from the perspective of rich and poor and inequality gaps- many are likely continuing to put their faith in Trump simply because there is no alternative - MAGA is their new religion - it’s their only hope so if “foreigners” get chucked out, or a few countries are less safe because of American aggression or apathy, who cares as long as America becomes great again .

Speaking of revoking citizenship

This guy better shut up now, his companies can and are being bankrupted and rest can be seized

USD slides past 1.18 per euro. Inflation increasing again so I doubt there'll be an interest rate cut.

161 days into Trump v2 and the Dow Jones has increased by a whopping…. +0.15%

Same duration into Biden's term it was up +8.2%, Under Trump v1 +6.4% and Obama +9.8%

In contrast the Dax is up 12.8% or 29.2% in $ value.

I wouldn't put too much into stock gains as a lot of managed funds are legally bound to buy "safe" stocks with abysmal returns.

50% of US workers own stocks compared 15% in Ireland.

Trump early Tuesday morning responded with a threat: He could use DOGE to probe the government contracts and subsidies Musk’s companies receive.

“Elon may get more subsidy than any human being in history, by far, and without subsidies, Elon would probably have to close up shop and head back home to South Africa,” Trump wrote on Truth Social. “No more Rocket launches, Satellites, or Electric Car Production, and our Country would save a FORTUNE. Perhaps we should have DOGE take a good, hard, look at this? BIG MONEY TO BE SAVED!!!”

Trump is threatening to set Doge and Musk and is (?) suggesting he may get deported.

So much karma if musk got deported, preferably via el Salvador.

Musk is a Canadian citizen so he wouldn't be going too far.

And I don't wish any ill will towards Musk right now. He's a powerful man whose against Trump. When Trump is done then I'll be happy with anything bad that happens to Musk.

It all depends on where he would be deported to. As mentioned, if it was el Salvador, he could be detained indefinitely. Won't happen, but in Trump's America there's a non zero chance.

Of course revoking citizenship will only be for the murderers and rapists, then it will be for anyone who (allegedly) committed a crime etc...

Same playbook he's using with the mass deportations atm.

thatsdaft

There are 30+ Canadian citizens currently being held by ICE

I suspect the Canadian government would place Musk as absolutely last on that list when it comes to trying to free their citizens from wrongful imprisonment by Trump SS

As for Musk committing crimes, he openly admitted to heavy drug use

aloyisious

Nice one Don. Seeking more attention, Don said he will take a look at de-naturalizing Musk and might turn DOGE on him as he gets a lot of subsidies (according to The Independent) in answer to a reporter's question. This is after he said tax will reach a whopping 68% (according to The Daily Mail) if his Big Beautiful Bill is not passed by the Senate.

I don't believe the drug use admission. It's a way of getting a pity party, suggesting that all his support for Trump was because he had a drug problem.

Musk would never get caught out by ICE or any other authority. A man that wealthy would be well protected and on a plane to a destination of his choosing long before they could get near him. Multi billionaires have people in every major department and police force on their payroll.

I said yes he does but after Trump is done. He's a powerful tool against the most despicable creature on the planet.

So who guessed the leopards eating face moments would actually be delivered by alligators in swamps.

Absolutely racist inhumane immigration policies being advocated for by MAGA.

Musk's usefulness in that regard has become greatly diminished to the point where he's now practically useless.

The wheels of the Elon Musk wagon began to come off after he foolishly called Vernon Unsworth a pedo because the latter rejected his ridiculous idea about using a submarine to rescue trapped kids in a cave in Thailand. Fast forward to his unbridled support of Trump and his ludicrous displays during that support and many, many, people who once viewed Musk as something of a genius now see him for what he truly is, which is a bit of a chancer that's struck it lucky.

The guy has shown himself to be, well, not the best when it comes to judgement and someone who's done an awful lot to scupper himself through stupid actions and words, when the best course of action was to remain quiet.

The biggest problem with Musk is that, like Trump, he's a narcissist who wants to be adored by others as much as he adores himself and all of his decisions will be based on viewing things through that limited prism.

It's all about the Performance - the cruelty is the point here.

They are actually deporting less people on a daily/weekly basis than Biden or Obama did previously , but they are absolutely being more blatantly cruel and performative to feed the rabid base.

The base aren't going to be happy with a cold bland government report saying "This week X number of illegal immigrants were deported".

They WANT to see the snatch teams riding in on Trucks looking all scary and roughing up some brown people.

They WANT to think about detention centres and dystopian horrors like "Alligator Alcatraz" - That makes them feel good about themselves.

People actually listen to him here. They wouldn't in the outside world. And he wouldn't even be here if the likes of StormFront and Voat still existed.
