Related: About this forumWTF?! Trump ANNOUNCES a WAR DECLARATION before Day 1 - Meidas Touch
Trump just declared that he will call a phony war to justify a national emergency to invoke the Alien Enemies Act to begin the mass deportations of 11 million people using the military, approved by his DOD pick Pete Hegseth, on domestic soil to conduct mass raids and incarcerations.
Michael Popok explains that Trumps abuse of power will need to be challenged immediately in the Courts and the Senate will have to ensure that no phony war is declared to enable a power mad Trump from acting. - 11/18/2024.

I posted an OP on it in GD.
None of them said that Trump plans to declare war on anyone. They reported that he said that he will declare a national emergency and use the military to round up undocumented people because, according to him, they are a threat to national security. He claimed that he will do it immediately after taking office.
