Dwight Williams (💉x 8) + 😷: Trump *would* do that.

Trump’s Rage At Liz Cheney Suddenly Veers In an Alarming New Directionnewrepublic.com With Trump's threats to jail Liz Cheney and other political foes going nuclear, a former prosecutor explains what a second-term crackdown on his enemies would really look like. It's gonna be ugly.

Trump selects a core group from the Border Patrol. Speaks directly to them and provides them direct orders. They arrest someone for “whatever” and smuggle them to a black site in say Saudi Arabia. He doesn’t need to prosecute anyone. He just needs to make them disappear into a very dark hole.

Bleak and extreme? Maybe. But Bush basically did this with accused “terrorists” with even less immunity than Trump would enjoy.

Trump *would* do that.
