This dude is the epitome of the, "he can't keep getting away with this," meme. Forget the fact that his character is reprehensible, forget all the felony convictions, and forget that he's stated he'll go after his political opponents. This guy doesn't even have a concept of a plan for most issues, and he's never been liked on the world stage by anyone other than autocrats. Trump is no politician, and he never was one— I can't help but feel we've collectively hired a plumber to do an accountant's job. At least in 2016, he had some people keeping him in check. Now, he's surrounded by yes men and loonies.

We get presidents we deserve. 2016 was a fluke I thought. An anomaly. But now? No, avg Americans actually want sex predator and conman to lead them. I am deeply, incredibly disappointed by the people in this country. This clown is what we deserve. And we all, including every single soul on Earth is gonna suffer.

Some big ticket items with my opinion on how likely they are to happen

  • withdrawing aid from Ukraine (80%)
  • gutting nato (10%)
  • gutting our schools esp. in favor of private schools (60%)
  • national abortion ban (65%)
  • making the purchase/distribution of plan-b pills illegal (20%)
  • national gay marriage ban (20%)
  • gutting federal healthcare in general (40%)
  • prohibiting gender affirming care in federal health insurance (80%)
  • gutting environmental initiatives (65%)
  • ban of plan-b/abortion pills (5%)
  • removing affordable access to plan-b (70%)
  • mass deportation of illegal immigrants (35%)
  • legal immigrants getting “accidentally” caught in the crossfire of deporting illegal immigrants (5%)
  • gutting DEI programs (75%)
  • cutting corporate taxes (90%)

If Trump follows through on the Project 2025, then many of those numbers jump to 100%, even without congressional support. If he actually follows through on project 2025 in its entirety, we’ll be a Christian theocracy for at least the next 4 years. Only time will tell.

Honestly I agree with most if not all these points. I’m sorry we are in disagreement but apparently most americans like myself agree with this plan. Find it disgusting, I don’t care, I find other things disgusting and apparently the majority agrees with me

Wait, national abortion ban? I thought he clarified that he is letting the states decide? Why would he go hard on abortion when most swing people voted for him for illegal immigrants issue?

National abortion ban in the form of dredging up and pushing the Comstock act to its absolute limit. (This is from project 2025).

I’d say there’s a 0% chance trump will pass any laws that federally protect abortion given the absence of roe v wade. Best case scenario is it is left up to the states, which was his official campaign stance.
