Donald Trump ordered ICE officers to prioritize deportations in Democrat-run cities in a wild Truth Social rant Sunday night.

Trump issued the unprecedented, politically motivated orders just hours after millions of protesters gathered in major American cities, calling for Trump’s megalomania to be curbed.

Trump told ICE staff to “do all in their power” to detain and deport undocumented immigrants in Los Angeles, Chicago, and New York.

Protests in these cities—and many more Democrat-controlled districts—attracted millions of citizens on Saturday, dwarfing the crowd that attended Trump’s birthday parade in Washington, D.C.

    Yeah, I think it took at least 4 or 5 well-named peaceful protests to stop the Nazis, so you’re right on track.

      I hate this criticism so much. You want others to start an armed revolution that you won’t.

      It’s peak arm chair hypocrisy

        Absolutely this. Nothing more craven than asking others to kill on your behalf.

          If you’re comparing this to the Nazis, you’d better be prepping for what happened in WWII. Except that America and Russia are going to be the Axis this time.

          Right so you think you have the moral imperative to tell me to risk my life to change the government in a country you don’t even live in?

            Fine, don’t. No doubt you’ve done absolutely all you can. Have a seat, relax. Someone will be along to save you, I’m sure. Probably.

              It’s always easier to send someone else to die isn’t it?

              I’m politically involved, and plan to continue to be. I’m sorry that there’s not enough bloodshed for you
