https://www.politico.com/news/2024/10/11/trump-military-plane-security-00183520 excerpt: "Donald Trump’s campaign is asking the government to provide increased security for the candidate, who faces unprecedented threats as a former president seeking to once again lead a bitterly divided nation. The campaign is requesting the use of military aircraft for the candidate as well as additional Secret Service protection for Trump following two apparent assassination attempts and the revelation that Iran has targeted him for retribution for the U.S. killing of Qassem Soleimani in January 2020. In a sign of the severity of the threat, the White House quickly agreed, with President Joe Biden saying Friday that he had authorized the Department of Homeland Security, which oversees the Secret Service, to address their requests. “I’ve told the department to give him every single thing he needs,” Biden said."
Trump calls Aurora, Colorado a war zone. https://www.politico.com/news/2024/10/11/trump-aurora-colorado-immigration-gangs-00183533 excerpt: "AURORA, Colorado — Donald Trump has described this apartment complex in Aurora as a “war zone” overrun by Venezuelan gangs intent on taking over the city of 400,000. But at the dwellings at the center of the controversy, on a quiet street near a local community college, children played outside Friday as residents and community organizers prepared for a cookout and neighborhood fiesta later that evening. “This is not a war zone. We want to celebrate the community as we know it, which is a vibrant community known for its diversity,” said Lamine Kane, an organizer with Colorado People’s Alliance, a nonprofit focused on economic, environmental and immigrant justice. “Any rhetoric that’s being divisive around the country or anywhere, we totally reject it, and we’re just here to celebrate the community as it is.""
https://www.politico.com/news/2024/10/11/trump-aurora-colorado-immigration-gangs-00183533 excerpt: "As Trump spoke on stage in the city on on Friday, he did what he does best — sell a dark, Trump-branded version of reality. “Kamala has imported an army of illegal alien gang members and migrant criminals from the dungeons of the third world … and she has had them resettled beautifully into your community to pray upon innocent American citizens,” Trump said. “And no place is it more evident than right here, because in Aurora, multiple apartment complexes have been taken over by the savage Venezuela prison gang known as Tren de Aragua.”"
Trump is like the supremacists of decades ago who would travel from one town to another starting trouble. In today's world, it's a presidential candidate doing it.

Trump plans to use 1798 law to dismantle illegal immigrant gang Tren de Aragua — and kick criminals out of the US excerpt: "The Alien Enemies Act of 1798 lets the president authorize citizens of enemy nations to be “apprehended, restrained, secured and removed” if they are deemed a threat to the US during wartime. The act was last used following the Dec 7, 1941, attack on Pearl Harbor, when Franklin D. Roosevelt ordered non-citizens from Japan, Germany and Italy to “preserve the peace towards the United States and to refrain from crime against the public safety, and from violating the laws of the United States and of the States and Territories thereof: and to refrain from actual hostility or giving information, aid or comfort to the enemies of the United States or interfering by word or deed with the defense of the United States or the political processes and public opinions thereof” — on pain of arrest, incarceration, or deportation."

It wasn't just scarce COVID tests he gave to Russia. In 2019 and 2020 Trump was briefed on intel that Russia was offering the Taliban a cash bounty of $100,000 for every American killed. 24 Americans were killed during that time. Trump dismissed it as "fake news". "March 29, 2020 -"The federal government sent California “170 broken ventilators” from the national stockpile. Several Democratic governors across the country, including New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo and California Gov. Gavin Newsom, had been pleading with the federal government for more equipment, including ventilators, to respond to the coronavirus outbreak." "May 21, 2020 -The United States donated and delivered 200 high-quality ventilators to Russia.The United States covered 100% of the cost, delivery, and startup supplies for the 200 ventilators being delivered, valued at approximately $5.6 million." https://ru.usembassy.gov/delivery-of-u-s-ventilators-to-russia/ California Gov.

Trump meets with billionaires and complains they're not giving him enough money. https://www.nytimes.com/2024/10/12/us/politics/trump-gop-donors.html excerpt: "Donald J. Trump took his seat at the dining table in his triplex penthouse apartment atop Trump Tower on the last Sunday in September, alongside some of the most sought-after and wealthiest figures in the Republican Party. There was Paul Singer, the billionaire hedge fund manager who finances Republican campaigns and pro-Israel causes, and Warren Stephens, the billionaire investment banker. Joining them were Betsy DeVos, the billionaire former education secretary under Mr. Trump, and her husband, Dick, as well as the billionaire Joe Ricketts and his son Todd. Some politicians might have taken the moment to be charming and ingratiating with the donors. Not Mr. Trump. Over steak and baked potatoes, the former president tore through a bitter list of grievances. He made it clear that people, including donors, needed to do more, appreciate him more and help him more."
https://www.nytimes.com/2024/10/12/us/politics/trump-gop-donors.html excerpt: "Not only does Ms. Harris have far more money to buy ads and pay for staff after raising $1 billion in less than three months as a candidate — a sum greater than the total Mr. Trump raised all year — but she has also been freed from having to plead directly to donors anymore. She raised more than twice as much as Mr. Trump in July, August and September."
The Alien Enemies Act is for wartime use. Trump would need to make a proclamation or issue an executive order to try to eject migrants and others from the U.S. He could try to cite the Alien Enemies Act as a reason for doing it but wouldn't be able to use the Act itself because it is meant for wartime. Congress would need to declare war on the people Trump doesn't like (migrants and whoever else). Alien and Sedition Acts - Wikipedia excerpt: "The Alien and Sedition Acts were a set of four laws enacted in 1798 that applied restrictions to immigration and speech in the United States.[a] The Naturalization Act increased the requirements to seek citizenship, the Alien Friends Act allowed the president to imprison and deport non-citizens, the Alien Enemies Act gave the president additional powers to detain non-citizens during times of war, and the Sedition Act criminalized false and malicious statements about the federal government. The Alien Friends Act and the Sedition Act expired after a set number of years, and the Naturalization Act was repealed in 1802. The Alien Enemies Act is still in effect. "
Alien and Sedition Acts - Wikipedia excerpt: "The Alien Enemies Act was not allowed to expire with the other Alien and Sedition Acts, and it remains in effect as Chapter 3, Sections 21–24 of Title 50 of the United States Code.[7] President James Madison invoked the act against British nationals during the War of 1812.[8] President Woodrow Wilson invoked the act against nationals of the Central Powers during World War I."
