I expect him to just load up a bunch of buses under false pretenses…telling the migrants they’re going to NYC or DC. Then they’ll be taken over the border into Mexico and dumped,
Then the courts will stop it, Mexico will stop it….and Trump will go into full grievance mode, blaming RINOS AND Democrats and the Deep State and anyone else he can think of blaming.
I wouldn’t be surprised if something like that happens. Hell, we’ve already seen it with internal displacements of migrants under false pretenses.
They’ll probably also pull this with dumping people in Canada, since we have a lot of border crossings as well. So both Mexico and Canada will start cracking down on US border crossers in general, making sure that no one is trying to smuggle in hundreds of migrants*. Hell, US Customs and Border Patrol might become the biggest Coyotes in the world!
*And it doesn’t even have to be busses. Stick a bunch in the back of a truck and pretend you’re importing cheese, or something. Then dump them in Hamilton.
Yet more clusterfuckery:
“He is an eminent Physician, Heart Surgeon, Inventor, and World-Class Communicator, who has been at the forefront of healthy living for decades,” Trump said in a statement, adding that Oz would work alongside Robert F. Kennedy Jr. an anti-vaccine activist who Trump wants to head the Department of Health and Human Services, to “take on the illness industrial complex.”
RFK Jr and Dr Oz: Tweedledumb and Tweedledumber (not necessarily in that order).
(ETA: WTF is an “illness industrial complex”?)
What of Dr. Phil?
“You get a supplement! You get a supplement! You all get supplements!”
Secretary of the newly created Department of Toxic Celebrity. His deputy and look-alike stand-in will be Jeffrey Tambor:

Doctor Demento turned him down.
The odds are 3-to-2 that he gets any kind of appointment whatsoever.
In Trump parlance, this is known as the Dr. Phil Ratio.
I think he’s just fucking with us now.
THIS is the kind of entertainment I’ve missed for the last 4 years. When you first hear the news you say “He did WHAT?.. REALLY?”
I’m becoming more and more convinced that the plan* is to mire the Federal government so deeply in clusterfuckery that the suggestion that it should be torn down and replaced with “something else” seems at least semi-reasonable.
Or to put it another way, “Constitutional democracy in this country has had almost 250 years, and it’s obviously not working. Back to the Articles of Confederation!”
* Not Trump’s plan, which is limited to a) getting rich, b) getting adulation, and c) getting back at his enemies, which encompasses anyone who didn’t contribute to a) and b).
I would have liked to see Frank Oz be appointed to a prominent position.
Notice there is no opening for Mike Lindell.
Has he done Secretary of Education yet? He might hand that to Lindell.
Trump has been fucking with us for eight years. Why would he stop now?
I got you:

Wouldn’t drug czar be more appropriate?
Linda McMahon.
As far as I can tell he thinks the medical industry causes diseases, and by wrecking it everyone will be healthier.
I think the logistics of a mass deportation of millions of humans is worth a topic of it’s own honestly. I don’t think it can be done in the time span wanted without tens of thousands of deaths (unintentional or otherwise), but then again I’m not an expert in this area.
I don’t think the manpower for an operation that size exists unless Trump wants to restart the draft.
And that would have to be political suicide for the entire Republican party.
They think inflation is bad now? Wait till they have to pay farm workers $30/hour to get anyone interested in milking cows, processing meat, picking produce, etc. Same for new housing costs. Get ready for hyperinflation.
