Uhum… wait, what?
He will construct “freedom cities” filled with flying cars
Trump laid out a plan early last year to build 10 “freedom cities” on federal land as part of what he described as a “new American future.” The cities would feature flying cars so as to ensure that “America, not China, leads the revolution in air mobility.”
Let’s skip the flying cars (🤦) part for a moment… isn’t “building cities on federal land” like, what communist China does?
Yes, and he doesn’t want to lose to them! He’ll show China that he can do State Capitalism even better than they can!
-
They forgot the main one, he’ll possibly pardon himself off all past and future crimes
And ensure he can remain in office (because the moment he’s out, he’s f’ed)
It’s terrifying seeing the United States descend into fascism. It’s like reading about 1920s-30s Germany and the rise of the Third Reich.
It’s taken decades, but it seems like MAGA’s systematic disassembling of the American education system has finally “worked”.
What a sad, depressing state of affairs. My heart goes out to the ~quarter of Americans adults that are hurt by this and care enough to vote, and all American children and youth.
Aren’t these mostly things he said he’d do in his first term?

The former president has now had nearly a decade to burnish his understanding of how Washington, D.C., works, and to assemble a political machine laser-focused on exploiting a federal government full of loopholes to give him the power to enact an authoritarian agenda that could spell disaster for the economy, the environment, human rights, and democracy.
Trump still needs to win the Republican nomination, but his romp in the Iowa caucuses on Monday confirmed that he is in total control of the primary and will almost certainly be squaring off with Joe Biden in an election to determine the fate of the nation.
These plans have been in the works since 2021, as Rolling Stone reported in August, and focus not just on Biden, whom Trump believes is the primary force behind his myriad legal woes, but also on Special Counsel Jack Smith, Attorney General Merrick Garland, FBI Director Christopher Wray, and plenty of others.
The Washington Post has also reported on the specificity of Trump’s plans to take down his haters, noting in November that he even wants to investigate former allies he believes have turned on him, including his former Attorney General William Barr and former chief of staff John Kelly.
Rolling Stone reported shortly after his comments that part of this authoritarian plot is to send potentially hundreds of thousands of troops to help seal the border and build new detention camps to house migrants.
Rolling Stone reported last year that Trump wants to wind down America’s participation in NATO to a “standby” role if his demands aren’t met, which would be a gift to Vladimir Putin as Russia continues to fight for control of Ukraine.
