Scholars say the orange felon’s plan to have US citizens imprisoned in foreign countries raises constitutional concerns. His threat means he plans on taking a shit on the constitution yet again. The time for concern was when VP Kamala Harris was running, we are in a crisis.

As I’ve been saying for years, Trump’s pronouns are me/me/me/me/me/me/me. Everything is always about him. There is no consideration or empathy for anyone else, no principles or values other than what’s best for him.

Critics say the concept is unconstitutional and dangerous. Not NPR, though! Don't pin such a radical stance on them! They don't want to be associated with that craziness, no sir. "The president shouldn't be allowed to disappear citizens to a foreign hellhole"? That's partisan crazy talk.
