..and reality will start. The 15M deportee number is now down to 1M a year which is still an insane projection with logistics I can't begin to comprehend. Then there is his talk of (somehow) commandeering Greenland and the Panama Canal while annexing Canada as a state.

And then, there's the talk about firing 50K government workers and somehow jailing all the members of the Jan 6 Committee.

And then...all the other crazy sh!t he's belching.

If all this was a movie, it would be labeled satire...remember "Wag The Dog?"
