Gingrich is a committed Republican who has been consistently supportive of Trump for years — but he has recently been warning Trump not to move forward with his ideas for mass deportation, telling him only his most hardcore fans want such a draconian policy and that the American people will turn on him quickly if the news is full of children and hardworking families being rounded up.

    I really hope I’m right, but I really don’t think Trump actually intends on doing this. I honestly think it’s more “drain the swamp” bullshit that he says to get people to vote for him and the sycophants that espoused all the shit they’d do in office were performing for a chance to be hired. He has no reason to go through with it since he can’t be reelected. If he’s going the dictator route then he won’t need to be reelected anyway he’ll just persist.

      I think they’ll go ham on immigrants in blue cities, declare mission accomplished, and leave the migrant workers in red states alone.

      I wonder if his brain is functional enough to know the difference between “shit I say for grift” and “shit I say because I want it”…

      I guess we’ll know when he either follows through or doesn’t on all of it…
