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.

      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.

      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?
