Subject: Re: Treasury Dept Payment System
I accept the premise that Trump ran on and elected on. in this case to respect tax payers and assess how their money is money is spent, and initiate further investigation into questionable expenditures, possibly leading to reforms that will reduce costs.
He didn't run on that - he ran on draining the swamp. Migrants are all rapacious killers after your daughters, etc., etc., etc.
Though at a campaign stop in Wisconsin on Saturday, Trump went much further -- despite the fact that U.S. citizens commit crimes at higher rates than undocumented immigrants.
"And you remember when they say no, no, these are migrants and these migrants, they don't commit crimes like us," Trump said. "No, no, they make our criminals look like babies. These are stone cold killers. They'll walk into your kitchen, they'll cut your throat."
And there's this:
"We have the outside enemy, and then we have the enemy from within. And the enemy from within, in my opinion, is more dangerous than China, Russia, and all those countries, because if you have a smart president, he can handle them."
It's something Trump talks about a lot. He doubled down on his remarks a few days later in a Fox town hall, describing these so-called enemies as "Marxists, communists, and fascists."
And investigate?
...Trump has said his rivals, critics and even private citizens should be investigated, prosecuted, put in jail or otherwise punished...
...just a few:
First, there are his political rivals: he has promised to appoint a special prosecutor to investigate Joe Biden and has said Kamala Harris should be prosecuted.
Trump has reposted Truth Social posts, calling for former President Barack Obama, and former congresswoman Liz Cheney to be sent to military tribunals.
On social media and at rallies, Trump has threatened prosecutors, some judges, courtroom staff and even a grand juror involved in his criminal and civil cases.
He has also said election workers, journalists and private citizens who criticize the Supreme Court should be jailed...
You think it's limited to DEI? I think you'll be finding that you're defending a horror show that is an assault on Democracy and an attempt to consolidate power.
