$25B for the Blackwater thug to set up a private Army and Air Force answerable only to Trump with powers to arrest other private citizens and imprison them on military bases. Doesn't sound very American.

Flood the school boards, councils, county seats, state legislatures, Congress, etc.

The effort, called the Third Term Project, is being led by Shane Trejo. He once co-hosted a neo-Nazi adjacent podcast called “Blood Soil and Liberty.”
