  1. Oh, nothing bad can happen with this, right. Right?!

  2. Inb4 his defenders say “He’s obvs just being sarcastic”

  3. Oh man, it’s like he’s absolutely going to do the thing we were fucking warning you about

  4. It’s okay because “he wouldn’t go after the family oriented illegals, that wouldn’t be fair”

  5. Here come the leopards, and boy are they hungry for face.

  6. Trump will create national emergency with results that include soaring prices for homes, produce, etc.

  7. Well, Hitler gave himself emergency powers also, so..

  8. People voted for chaos and fascism. That is what they will get. That’s democracy.

  9. As Hitler did with the Jews.. someone needs to take the blame for all the problems in the country

  11. That is going be gloriously bad. Declaring national emergency is to remove peoples rights like Miranda and the need for search warrants.

    Then you have 60% of the American population who doesn’t trust the government and one of the highest density of guns on the planet. A military convoy rolling into a low economic area is going to create a hailstorm of bullets. But the illegal immigrants won’t have guns. Do you think that the criminals in that area will care if the military is trying to stop them or the immigrants? No, they will defend themselves. Innocents will be killed in the crossfire. There is a reason why the military try to avoid urban conflict.

  13. If he declares a national emergency, it suspends laws. He could seize private property, suspend travel between states, send in the military to states, temporarily appoint officers in the military, use private property for military purposes, and a whole bunch of other fun things an autocrat would love.

    Congress can remove the order after a certain amount of time but it would have to be veto proof.

  14. Dear USA, Trump is your national emergency. Govern yourselves accordingly.

  15. How many legal people you think will be caught up in this?

    With no trail or due process 

  16. And when the countries he tries to deport people to turn them back, he’ll put all of them in prison camps. There’s a reason private prison stocks rose up.

  18. All the catholic anti gay Latinos are about the leopards ate my face.

  20. The stock market should take more of a tumble each time he opens his big, dumb and nasty mouth.. Signalling a state of emergency appears to be his attempt to soften up Congress for his horror show cabinet picks. Do what I say or I will flex my emergency powers. Disobey me and I will step it up with martial law.

    Capital will flee from this madness before he is inaugurated.

  21. Don’t worry, minority voters think Trump is only talking about the other minorities 🙃

  22. So can national emergencies be declared arbitrarily. Like can Biden declare a national emergency and cancel the transfer of power. How does this work?

  23. It’ll cost billions to just deport them, billions in lost tax revenue and millions in lost real estate earnings. If you want a depression, this is how you get one.

  24. People think groceries are expensive now. Wait until the magic of tariffs and the overnight evaporation of cheap labor.

  25. I’m watching the fall of my country in realtime… it’s incredible that Russia actually managed to win the Cold War after all this time. GG I guess

  26. Under Trump the USA will implode…. Unthinkable 8 years ago and now terrifying reality…..

  27. As is written in project 2025, this then leads to martial law. Your fucked America.

  28. We can just invent emergencies now?

    Also wouldn’t the solution be aid and resources to the border states?

  29. Of course, that’s why his defense secretary has zero experience—he wants someone who’ll follow orders without question.

  30. He’s evil. He’s rotten to the core. F u Cheeto man

  31. “When someone shows you who they are, believe them the first time.” – Maya Angelou

    No, those other times, that was okay because it didn’t hurt me. But this one might, so clearly, he’s joking.

  32. With Trump admitting that he’s going to declare a National Emergency in order to utilize Guard troops to deport immigrants, what is stopping him from declaring Dems and other political detractors as national security threats?

  33. Remember when he asked Congress Republicans to not pass the Democrats border reform bill because he wanted to campaign on the issue?

  34. Same thing he’ll do for any future elections. Just declare a national emergency and postpone the election “until further notice.”

  35. Ignoring the humanitarian issues here.

    Most people said they voted based on the economy. Economists suggest that if Trump does in fact move forward with this plan, it will effect the economy negatively more than tariffs.

    The theory is simple. Many people with questionable status work in the food industry. Processing meat and farming being two of the big ones. If these people aren’t there to do their jobs, then the work doesn’t get done OR it gets done at a much higher cost. So you’ll see an immediate price increase on everything in the grocery store as a result.

    Exactly what Trump voters didn’t want, will absolutely happen under Trump.

  36. “The immigrant who resides with you shall be to you as the citizen among you; you shall love the immigrant as yourself, for you were immigrants in the land of Egypt: I am the Lord your God. ‘Cursed is anyone who withholds justice from the foreigner, the fatherless or the widow.”

    Christian nation lol

  37. This article isn’t addressing a huge piece of this. The country of origin must agree to take them back. They almost all refuse as a general rule. We’re going to have huge internment camps sucking up money that could be better spent elsewhere, never mind the allusions of WWII Germany and their camps.

  38. When he declares a national emergency, that suspends laws.

    That’s why, that’s the reason. Suspend laws. You can get away with more crimes that way.

  39. We definitely have a national emergency. And it’s definitely not the immigrants
