Predictions for the next four years of a second Trump Presidency

If it’s not on paper, then its not legally binding. And we really only hinted at possibilities. We never promised them anything beyond not deploying nuclear assets in the former East Germany (and with the way things were worded, that went for any future NATO states east of that too most likely).

Plus it’s not like the Russians honored their end anyway. Minor meddling in post Soviet states was sort of accepted by us, but the Russians went way beyond that numerous times.

I could see them looting the White House and sprinkling coke in some hidden places to be discovered later.

It’ll probably be a repeat of his first administration.

Predictions?

Peace and prosperity.

I think the issues in the Levant will still be going on. But it probably won’t expand.

No idea what’s gonna happen between Russia and Ukraine. He kind of acts like he has a grand bargain to unveil on it so we will see how that goes and if Putin and Zelensky go for it. Or they decide to keep slaughtering each other.

His domestic policy will primarily focus on tightening up illegal immigration issues, although I don’t think his administration will push for mass deportations like they said. Whole lot of business money involved that will pressure for that not to happen. But they will certainly tighten the system up and drastically draw down border crossings.

Other than that, I’m predicting mostly a repeat of his 2016-2021 term. He won’t be the second coming of Pol Pot like Libs are acting like he is (for example, I don’t think he’s even gonna bring up abortion on the federal level and outside of stopping any outreach or publicity programs, the LGBTQ community will be left alone) but I don’t think Republicans are going to be entirely satisfied because there is no doubt he will fail to deliver on some things. Like I just don’t see Mass Deportation happening. I don’t think the “system” would allow it.

Maybe, if he decides to drop tariffs and mass deportation of non criminal immigrants.

We shall see

I don’t suspect he will even try to do that. There’s a ton of business interest around illegals already here. Mass deportation would crush the Texas and other Southern state’s construction industries alone.

I do think we will see targeted deportation of illegals with other felonies, though. They’ll be a big crackdown on that one.

Like his first term, there will be a lot of disagreements within the party on what the agenda should be.

Many republicans will push for a federal abortion ban. Right now, that seems to be at odds with Trump.

Many republicans will want to push immigration reform beyond mass deportations into “de-naturalization”. Birth right citizenship EO. Etc.

I suspect many republicans don’t want 20-60% tariffs on all imports. Trump seems to still want them.

There will be lots of disagreements on Ukraine and Israel Aid. “America First” absolutists will be at odds with Trump.

There’s easily over 5 million people paroled into the country with phony asylum claims waiting to be adjudicated who are largely just leeching off the US Taxpayer. Hopefully they all can be deported.

How do you know 5 million have phony asylum claims?

Can they be deported with having their claims adjudicated?

when it proves to be untrue they will come on here and claim they meant the last couple of months

Where did I predict that?

because based on where they are from there is no valid claim for asylum possible. Either because there is a functioning government which does not persecute anyone for any of the reasons allowed under asylum, or because they past through a third country on the way that could have offered them asylum.

certainly can. Just do it. If courts disagree, acknowledge that they have stated thier opinion which will be taken under advisement

What does the asylum law actually say?

go read it.

I have, seems like you haven’t. That’s why I asked.

you may have read it, you obviously don’t understand it

This is projection.

You made a claim about asylum law that isn’t actually the law. Again that is why I asked if you read it.

I made no claim about the law. I said that those claiming asylum (the vast majority) do not qualify for it because the states they were from do not persecute anyone on any of the basis that are required for a grant of asylum.

and that if they past through third country on the way taht could have accepted their asylum, they also would not qualify. It is evidence that asylum is not what they seek.

You literally just made a claim regarding asylum law by saying “they don’t qualify”

Another claim is “pass through third country”. Where is this required by law?
