Trump - "Your head will spin when you see what's going to happen" October 2024

"Your head will spin when you see what's going to happen," Trump said in October about the scope of action planned on his first day.

The monsters of history said what they were going to do. People discounted it as crazy extreme.

Throughout his campaign, Trump made 41 promises for day one action, said The Washington Post, including that he'd declare a national emergency to begin the process of his promised mass deportations, revoke job security from roughly 50,000 federal employees, roll back protections for transgender students in schools and withdraw from the Paris Climate Accords. He also pledged to re-impose the ban on entry into the United States from a number of Muslim-majority countries plus North Korea and Venezuela, revoke birthright citizenship, fire special counsel Jack Smith, rescind Biden administration policies on energy and drilling and pardon Jan. 6 insurrection participants. "Your head will spin when you see what's going to happen," Trump said in October about the scope of action planned on his first day.

Miller et al. have been adding to the wish lists I think.

There is going to be a shitstorm of lawyers going to the courts for injunctions on the 20th.

If anybody missed it, I wrote an obituary for President Carter in the DU American History forum.

I'm sure Jill Stein will have a solution for them.
