They’ll try, absolutely. Hence my mention of Miller. But with how the courts have tended to delay or strike down a lot of efforts at short-circuiting the immigration system, I’d expect that Trump will run into headwinds and then prefer to abandon the effort while blaming it on any number of other folks/entities. He’s all about minimum work and maximum show while pawning off or abandoning responsibility, and his base (and perhaps even the notable crazies like Laura Loomer) will prefer to make excuses for him than hold him to it.
Him not getting what he wanted last time was because of those now missing adults in the room. Highly motivated evil ideologues are salivating over their imminent access to the levers of power they will exercise with very little braking them. We will see what the courts can do, but I am not sanguine.

All he needs to do is allow more energetic underlings to do the job. They sure had no problem putting together a tome known as Project 2025.

Trump will be able to remove people who can’t prove they are here legally and have been present for over two years through expedited removal. Expedited removal is ordered by lower level immigration officers and has very limited review. An R controlled Congress could extend that authority.

Steven Miller et al Have had four years to game the legal aspects of deportation. I’m not sure that the courts are going to slow them down much.

I hope that even his fellow Republicans will eventually come to realize what a disaster he will prove to be and move to impeach him. He will prove to be the worst traitor and felon our country has ever had!
That's why he chose JD Vance as his running mate rather than Nikki Haley. Trump was right after all.
And when the Confederates saw Jackson standing fearless like a stonewall, the army of Northern Virginia took courage and drove the federal army off their land.

Anyone notice how this election wasn't rigged? Trump said it was going to be rigged. What happened?

Oh my god, Trump voters are retarded.
Religion is for people whose existential fear is greater than their common sense.

The god idea is popular with desperate people.

Trump is a puppet of Putin. Ukraine will go under the bus first. Taiwan is also at risk. Trump won't lift a hand to help our allies. It now rests on Western Europe to defend world freedom.

Trump can't put three sentences together without a lie. He is a racist, and apparently, half of Americans are okay with that. I doubt there will be an election in four years. The only way fascists lose power is through revolt or revolution.

He promised no more voting....... and Mormons will lead the way to his fascism and imagine they are on the Lord's errand upholding the defunct Constitution. Trump will go after his enemies in a personal vendetta, and Mormons will volunteer to pull the trigger just like at Mountain Meadows.

Good luck with that. Western Europe doesn't exactly like to engage in military spending.

Can you name another Republican who got a higher percentage of the black vote or the hispanic vote in recent history? Minorities just like everyone else who has been gaslit on the economy by out of touch leftwing elites over the last four years are fed up with it. You're going to have to come up with something different than the race card if you want to get your power and authority back. Donald Trump has formed a new coalition of working men and women of all races.

Who knew that this would be how we entered a post-racial America?!?!?!

Fascism brought people together.
