On the dubiousness of states potentially monitoring women ’s maternity to determine if they accessed miscarriage , Trump said , " I think they might do that . "
We’re now six long months away from a presidential election that will once again pit former president and currentbible salesmanDonald Trump against current President Joe Biden. Recently, Trump gavean extended interviewto Time magazine where he discussed his plans for if he were elected in 2024, and unsurprisingly, he said some pretty alarming things. Here’s some of what he discussed:
1.The interview began with a conversation about Trump’s plans for immigration if elected. Trump has been campaigning on plans for mass deportations to curb what he calls"migrant crime"— despite the fact that research shows immigrants are no more likely than the general population to commit violent crimes.
He told Time that he would rely on local law enforcement and would also deploy the National Guard to round up undocumented people in “Democratic-run cities” like New York, Los Angeles, and Chicago that he believes are “getting worse than in other places.” He went on to say he might even go as far as deploying the US military in these cities. “If I thought things were getting out of control, I would have no problem using the military, per se. We have to have safety in our country.”
When require about thePosse Comitatus Act , which forbid using the armed forces as civilian law enforcement , Trump answer , " Well , these are n’t civilian . These are people that are n’t legally in our nation . "
consort tothe fact - stop , that ’s absolutely not unfeigned . A civilian is anyone who ’s not in military serve , disregardless of their immigration condition . Any civilian in the US is entitled to due mental process and adequate auspices under the law .
3.Trump also made a series of evasive responses to questions seeking to clarify his stance on abortion and how a second Trump term could impact women’s already-imperiled access to healthcare. When asked if he would veto a federal ban on abortion, he said, “I won’t have to commit to it because it’ll never — number one, it’ll never happen. Number two, it’s about states’ rights. You don’t want to go back into the federal government. This was all about getting out of the federal government.”
Time also asked if he would be comfortable with states prosecute people who essay abortions . He said , " I do n’t have to be comfortable or uncomfortable . The states are go to make that determination . The states are operate to have to be comfortable or uncomfortable , not me . "
On the question of states potentially monitoring women’s pregnancies to determine if they accessed abortions, Trump said, “I think they might do that. Again, you’ll have to speak to the individual states.”
He was also asked about a referendum on the voting in his habitation res publica of Florida that could repeal the land ’s six - hebdomad banning on abortion . He cagily reply , " I do n’t tell you what I ’m gon na vote for . I only tell you the province ’s gon na make a determination . "
A admonisher that Trump has repeatedlybraggedabout being creditworthy for the fall ofRoe v. Wadeand has since made many false call about the subroutine , including his arguing that Democrats plump for abortion even in the 9th month of gestation ( which is just … not a matter ) . And base onthe wildly wrong things lawmakers have enunciate about cleaning lady ’s anatomy in the past times , this writer is far more comfortable with real aesculapian professional making determination about my healthcare than any commonwealth , red or grim .
4.Trump discussed plans to add a 10% tariff to all imported goods, with a tariff of more than 60% imposed on imports from China, in particular. Experts say his plancould costthe average American household $1,500 a year, an added cost few would welcome after several years of inflation. When pressed on the economic impact of his plan, Trump said, “I don’t believe it’ll be inflation. I think it’ll be lack of loss for our country.”
5.Trump also discussed potential plans to prosecute President Biden, saying, “Look, we are going in another two weeks to the Supreme Court. And they’re going to make a ruling on presidential immunity. If they said that a president doesn’t get immunity, then Biden, I am sure, will be prosecuted for all of his crimes, because he’s committed many crimes.”
6.Trump was also asked if he would consider hiring civil servants who didn’t accept his narrative that the 2020 election was “stolen” from him (which, in fact,it wasn’t). He said, “I wouldn’t feel good about it, because I think anybody that doesn’t see that that election was stolen… I could give you report after report on state after state of all of the fraud that was committed in the election, and if you had a really open mind, you would say I was right.”
