Donald Trump ordered ICE officers to prioritize deportations in Democrat-run cities in a wild Truth Social rant Sunday night.

Trump issued the unprecedented, politically motivated orders just hours after millions of protesters gathered in major American cities, calling for Trump’s megalomania to be curbed.

Trump told ICE staff to “do all in their power” to detain and deport undocumented immigrants in Los Angeles, Chicago, and New York.

Protests in these cities—and many more Democrat-controlled districts—attracted millions of citizens on Saturday, dwarfing the crowd that attended Trump’s birthday parade in Washington, D.C.

    He’s trying to get us mad and become violent so he can declare martial law. He wants his opposition to look more like bad guys to his fan base.

      They’ll false-flag or just start killing people. They don’t need a reason anymore.

      This whole “don’t have violent protests because they’ll declare martial law” is a psyop preparing people for martial law and pre-loading it with the assumption that when it does happen (and it will) it will be the fault of the protesters, despite evidence to the contrary.

      Fascism 101 guys. Don’t be a sucker.

      He doesn’t need to try shit. Trump does what ever the fuck he wants. Both Congress and the courts just go along with it because apparently our founding fathers wanted the president to have absolute power. The deployment of the national guard and the Marines to LA is unequivocally illegal, but Trump did it anyway and the government dosen’t seem to be in a hurry to remove the troops.

      Those fucking idiots only need a pointed finger and the word “liberal” to believe something is bad.
