We read Trump's Time interview so you don't have to. Throughout, the leader of the GOP talks openly about his dangerous ambitions for a second term -- including allowing states to arrest women who have abortions, using the power of the presidency to influence criminal investigations, and deploying the military to round up millions of immigrants. 🧵 https://time.com/6972022/donald-trump-transcript-2024-election/
Trump also reiterated his plan to pardon as many January 6 insurrectionists (whom he refers to as “hostages”) as possible, while continuing to promote outrageously false conspiracy theories about that deadly day.
Trump is asked three separate times if he would veto a national abortion ban. And all three times, he refuses to answer.
As if that's not telling enough, Trump insists Senate Republicans will uphold the filibuster to protect abortion rights -- even though Senate Republicans got rid of the filibuster to appoint the MAGA Supreme Court justices who overturned Roe.
Then the leader of the GOP admits he won't stop states from "monitoring" women.
We know a second Trump administration would try to ban abortion pills and enforce the Comstock Act since both are included in Project 2025 (the GOP's 900-page plan to end our federal government as we know it if Trump wins). But when Trump is asked about mifepristone and Comstock, he refuses to answer. Sound familiar?
After refusing to deny that he would order the construction of new detention camps, Trump also reiterated his intention of deploying military forces across the country to round up millions of immigrants.
