2020

Thousands of cars wait in line, inhabited by families who cannot afford to feed their hungry children. Even those who can afford groceries, endure massive shortages, and empty shelves at grocery stores. There is no toilet paper, the entire country struggles to wipe its own ass. Supply lines are frozen. 13% of the population is unemployed, forced to stay home by a deadly pandemic that the President of the United States dismisses as nothing more than the common flu. Over one million Americans perish as a result of the Trump Flu. Morgues overflow, frozen bodies await their burial in trucks. 

With no vaccines or available treatments, families are unable to visit their dying loved ones. The risks too massive to take any chances. The dying do so alone. Their anguished screams unheard, their last words forever a mystery. They reach for a hand that never comes. 

School aged children remain at home, missing proms and graduations, all while the President of the United States dismisses science in favor of pseudo-science. He promises that the pandemic will soon go away, imploring Americans to inject bleach and take horse medicine. Trusting their president, Americans do so. Poison control lines become overwhelmed. Americans continue to die, and they keep dying. 

This hellscape isn't some fictitious nightmare written by the likes of George Miller or Stephen King. It isn't the post-apocalyptic world of Mad Max, or the post-pandemic America depicted in The Stand. This was America 2020 under the leadership of one Donald Trump. 

Yet, even after the Covid pandemic, Trump, now a convicted rapist, is running for president once again. But, just what will a second Trump term look like? We look to the man himself for answers. 

The Second Term

Donald Trump sat down with Eric Cortellesa of TIME and gave a revealing interview of what a second term would look like. According to the former president, he believes one of his biggest mistakes was being too nice during his first term. The following is how he hopes to correct this mistake in his second term.

During his second term, Trump would carry out a massive deportation campaign that would lead to some 11 million people removed from the country. To carry out such a task, Trump would use the United States military and build detention camps where migrants and other dissidents would be imprisoned. 

The deportation program won't only target those here illegally. One of Trump's top advisors and former head of Immigration and Customs, Tom Homan, suggests,

"People need to be deported. No one should be off the table."

No one. Not those who legally seek asylum. Not first-generation Americans, whose parents are born elsewhere. Not legal citizens. Not you. Not I. No one. 

Trump also promised to let red states monitor women and prosecute them, if found to be in violation of abortion law. This may include ankle bracelet monitoring for pregnant women and even the death penalty. 

The former president promised to use the U.S. Attorney General to prosecute political enemies at his own discretion. Trump pledges to withhold congressional funding, as he sees fit, rewarding certain states for their loyalty, while punishing others that don't show him proper appreciation. 

He plans to pardon the January 6th insurrectionists and seeing the United States military as a paid mercenary group, Trump will only come the defense of allies who pay up. In his own words, 

"If you're not going to pay, then you're on your own." 

Even though violent crime has drastically reduced in U.S. cities over the past two years especially, Trump promised to deploy the National Guard to certain urban areas he deems unsafe or unfit. According to Trump, he will push the U.S. Justice Department to employ policies like stop and frisk. These policies allow police to stop and subject citizens (disproportionately minorities) to searches without any suspicion of crime. 

After the hellscape of 2020, he also plans on permanently closing the White House pandemic-preparedness office. There will be no preparedness for any future pandemic, and it is unlikely that any would ever even be acknowledged publicly. 

Gone will be those who held Trump at bay in 2020. There will be no Mike Pence or Mark Meadow. There won't even be a Bill Barr, who had to convince the former president to refrain from pursuing executions of political opponents. Instead, Trump will fill his cabinet with extremists and loyalists, who will fulfill his fascistic agenda without opposition. He would do the same with the courts, filling them with loyalists. A Trump second term could see as many as three new Supreme Court vacancies. 

Former Trump White House aide, Alyssa Farah Griffin, fears a Trump second term: 

"The things he said we should take literally.....there won't be guardrails next time. There won't be Mark Esper. There won't be Jon Kelly. He says he is only going to hire loyalists and people who say that the last election is stolen. So, he is admitting that he is going to staff the White House and the entire Federal Government with either liars or lunatics. It is very scary....it is very real that in 7 months we will wake up to President Elect Donald Trump and that should be scary for everyone."

The End of Democracy: Warnings from Within

Former Trump counselor and political loyalist, Kellyanne Conway said,

"I don't think it's a big mystery what his agenda would be, but I think people will be surprised at the alacrity with which he will take action."

Historian Douglas Brinkley contends that a second Trump term could bring about, 

"The end of our democracy and the birth of a new kind of authoritarian presidential order."

Top Trump advisor Steve Bannon, who promised a second Trump term would see Democrats and other political rivals "imprisoned," suggests that the former president sees the country in "apocalyptic" terms. Bannon warns that Trump is ready for battle, 

"He's in full war mode. That's where Trump's heart is. That's where his obsession is." 

If Trump doesn't win, the former president does not dismiss the idea of political violence and at rallies has suggested he has much worse than the January 6th insurrection in store. Trump doesn't see the insurrection as an attack on American, but as patriotic loyalists trying to overthrow a tyrannical government for his own benefit. At Trump rallies, video of the January 6th prisoners is played during the National Anthem, as Trump rallies the crowd in adulation. 

Trump sees the American government as the enemy needing to be taken down. He has that in common with adversaries like Russia and China, 

"I think the enemy from within, in many cases, is much more dangerous for our country, than the outside enemies of China, Russia, and various others." 

Ironically, he doesn't include the Russian propagandized MAGA movement as one of those enemies "from within." The Proud Boys, the racists who marched in Charlottesville, and the January 6th insurrectionists are Trump's political allies. The former president has never condemned any of these groups and to the contrary has encouraged them. Trump sees them as a means to power, his own personal brown shirts that will ensure an un-ending American dictatorship. 

When asked whether a dictatorship is contrary to America's most cherished principles, the former ratings obsessed Apprentice host responded with, 

"I think a lot of people like it."
