Summary

Donald Trump threatened to send American citizens convicted of vandalizing Tesla vehicles to El Salvador’s infamous Terrorism Confinement Center, labeling the vandals as “sick terrorist thugs” deserving 20-year sentences.

This statement followed a major vandalism incident in Ontario, Canada, where around 80 Tesla cars were damaged.

Trump’s comments coincide with controversy over his use of the 1798 Alien Enemies Act to deport migrants, halted by a court order.

The White House defended the deportation despite legal challenges, denying any violation of the court’s injunction.

    Newsflash: He can’t do it. The Supreme Court would have to block it. If he does it to Tesla vandals then he can do it to anyone … including Supreme Court judges. The SC judges are not that stupid … anymore. It seems like one or two of them have spit Trumps balls out of their mouth.

      He already ignored a court order when he “deported” some Venezuelans to this gulag mega-prison. Whose to say he won’t do the same next time around?

      I’m not convinced. Even if they did find against him for something, he’d just defy it. MAGAs are actually looking forward to the point when they get to castrate the Supreme Court by openly ignoring their rulings.

        I think the Supreme Court is starting to see what is coming. One of Trumps appointments may have flipped. You will never get Thomas to wake up, he will be praising Trump even when old Claerence is forced to divorce his wife because Trump outlaws interracial marriage (yea, that will be on the horizon)
