His only strength comes from your false belief that money equals power. Trump never had real money until now. He only had the illusion of wealth. His power has always been imaginary. You, America, have been afraid of the monster under the bed.
Like any bully, Trump is fundamentally a coward.
When he feels humiliated, he lashes out.
Every authoritarian action he is taking must be understood against the backdrop of his declining popularity.
He feigns strength, but he's operating from a place of weakness.

The plan is to intimidate or force violence to justify militarily rule. Trump knows he will be hammered in the midterms. Do not threaten the federal agents. The businesses and families supporting the Trump fascist regime are not protected
ICE is running a “conveyor belt” of illegally detained Minnesota families.
Agents are arresting entire families with legal status and immediately shipping them off to Texas to deny them legal representation and avoid the federal courts in Minnesota.
The cruelty is endless.

3 days ago I posted 2 pictures on Threads. Pretti and an ICE agent with similar looks. And pointed out that either could be mistaken for the other. The number of people who immediately accused me of outing or spreading misinformation was astronomical. Amazing how few Americans understand English.
