Trump threatens exile for Americans who are ‘repeat offenders’ and ‘violent criminals’

President Donald Trump on Monday told Republican members of the House that he would launch a plan to subject recidivist American criminals to a punishment never before used in the United States and last used in the United Kingdom nearly two centuries ago: Forced exile.

“We’re going to get approval ... to get them the hell out of our country,” he vowed. “Let’s see how they like it.”

Trump last week pardoned more than 1,500 people convicted of crimes linked to the the January 6, 2021 Capitol riots, including 169 who pleaded guilty to assaulting police officers in a bid to overturn the election in Trump’s favor.

Trump unveiled his plan to exile Americans as he spoke to House Republicans during a dinner for them at his Doral, Florida golf resort, about his administration’s operation implementing mass deportations of undocumented immigrants.

1. OMFG - he is talking Penal Colonies

This is Count of Monte Cristo Shit

Literally he is wanting to send US citizens away….

Criminals or likely also people eventually that are political opponents

To where?

To be tortured and die and never be seen again?

[Irish_Dem]

6. Maybe this is why he wants to buy Greenland.

[Harker]

15. Ding. n/t

[multigraincracker]

18. Greenland has a population of about 60K for a reason.

Need to get his supporters to sign up for those great job opportunities in the new oil fields and mines. All kinds of support jobs too.

[Irish_Dem]

19. Turning Greenland into a penal colony should work wonders for the Greenland economy?

[avebury]

29. He wants Greenland and Canada

because someone whispered into his ear that with Global warming there will be a faster shipping route north of Greenland and through the Arctic Circle. This hypothetical shipping lane is controlled by Denmark and Canada.

[Irish_Dem]

35. Yes there has to be a money motive to it.

Otherwise he could not care less about Canada or Greenland.

[Disaffected]

41. Canada yes but I believe

the passage between Canada & Greenland to the NW Passage is international waters. Not that Trump would know or care about that....

[avebury]

43. We all know that Trump does not have a functioning brain. nt

[Justice matters.]

45. Like Putin wants Ukraine for its natural gas and minerals.

Invading a sovereign nation for exploitation is a crime in international law.

The convicted felon doesn't know a law he would respect...

[Walleye]

55. I think it's worse than that, I think he's doing it just to impress Putin

[Irish_Dem]

2. Where will he send them?

[Eugene]

7. Dump is already trying to convince - or coerce - LatAm/Caribbean nations to take 3rd-country deportees.

Don't rule out Mexico (with or without the Mexicans' consent) or even some clone of Gitmo.

[Irish_Dem]

8. Yes he will threaten countries if they don't take the deportees.

[Deep State Witch]

9. Greenland

To use prison labor to mine rare earth metals.

[Lonestarblue]

12. Hawaii has a few uninhabited islands.

They may not have fresh water or food sources, but Trump would not care. Everything is about what he wants in that diseased, warped mind.

[Irish_Dem]

27. The Trump Crime Family might want those islands for their exotic resort business.

[Mr.WeRP]

16. Long Island (Escape from New York!)

[Irish_Dem]

17. Yes it wouldn't surprise me if he dumps people in blue cities and states.

[CTyankee]

46. Didn't he try that with Martha's Vineyard? I seem to remember it was a big flop. The Vineyarders met them with offers of

help, food, lodging and ruined the planned photo-op.

[Irish_Dem]

47. I think some of the southern governors were pulling this stunt.

[CTyankee]

48. They didn't try it again...I wonder why?

[Irish_Dem]

49. Cost benefit ratio didn't work out?

[CTyankee]

50. They were humiliated. They never tried it again...

according to my daughter who has a house on Chappaquiddick Island.

[Irish_Dem]

52. Heartbreaking isn't it.

To see jackwads embarrassed by their own idiocy.

[CTyankee]

57. Here's the thing: there are some media people with home on MV. I remember when the Obamas vacationed there

and my daughters friends were excited by all the "sightings" of the Obamas (Barack playing golf, Michelle shopping in Edgartown shops).

Ahem, I DID once see what I suspected were part of the Obama's Secret Service detail buying Diet Coke at the Stop and Shop there. They were two well built guys (in maybe their 30s or early 40s) in summer suits. They just looked the part.

That's my story and I'm stickin' to it!

[Irish_Dem]

58. That's neat.

To see the Obamas and their SS.

[CTyankee]

61. I never saw the Obamas. Their house was on a different part of the Vineyard. I took the little ferry to Chappaquiddick

(Chappy) Island where my daughter and family are in nicer weather months. Chappy is wonderful. No street lights and if you can make your way to the beach you can see the night sky in brilliance. I was in awe of that...

[Irish_Dem]

62. It's hard to see the night sky away from the city lights.

It is so much fun to see the real sky.

[CTyankee]

63. It gives you a feeling of vastness and timelessness. Think of all the zillions of people who only lived with natural

light, before we electrified the night hours.

[Irish_Dem]

64. I always feel connected to ancient times when I look at that kind of sky.

[twodogsbarking]

20. The morgue.

[Irish_Dem]

23. That is the cheapest option, the one Hitler decided upon.

Hitler originally wanted to deport people to Madagascar, an island off the west coast of Africa.
It was decided this was too expensive and complicated.

So then he decided to build concentration camps in Europe.
But then it was expensive to house, feed, clothe and manage prisoners.
We know what he did then.

[JustABozoOnThisBus]

24. Maybe this is why he wants to clear the Palestinians from the Gaza Strip.

In addition to the Trump Golf Course and the Kushner Resort and Spa complex.

[Irish_Dem]

25. Yes. They could be the indentured servants for Jared and Ivanka's Gaza Resort.

[Attilatheblond]

30. Doesn't really matter. Likely they won't arrive anywhere

Taking cues from his dictator heroes, he'll probably just disappear critics after calling them 'repeat offenders'

[tetedur]

3. Devil's Island closed in 1953.

So he has been maliciously lying about other countries sending their criminals here when all along he had notions of doing exactly that. Nice.

[Irish_Dem]

4. Trump himself is a repeat offender and quite dangerous.

[LymphocyteLover]

10. more gross projection from the orange turd

[Ray Bruns]

13. I was waiting for someone to point that out

[bdamomma]

36. The felon

is making enemies everyday. People in other countries are not going to be bullied by this miscreant.

[Irish_Dem]

37. Yes Trump is making enemies by the hour. What they will do about it remains to be seen.

[Dem2theMax]

5. Trump first.

If anyone is a repeat offender, it's him.
And take all of his cabinet picks with him.
Most of them qualify as well.

The irony.

[LymphocyteLover]

11. maybe he can set an example and self-exile

[Macrophylla]

14. So your saying....

Unrepentant repeat offenders will be shipped out of country?

So do 34 felony CONVICTIONS count?
Seems like alot of crimes

[Bernardo de La Paz]

21. First the violent criminals, then repeaters, ... then dissidents. . . . . nt

[speak easy]

26. It's a Madagascar Plan

[Joinfortmill]

22. Well, ok, then. I think Trumpy may make it onto his own list.

[Lovie777]

28. shithole should be the first criminal.................

[Texin]

31. Man. Irony died another death. Good lord. Is he planning to self-exile?

[get the red out]

32. What about his for-profit prison pals?

He wants to cost them some money with this sickening idea.

[hadEnuf]

33. Enough!

How about fucking NO?

Many are sitting and trembling waiting for the next atrocity to come out of this asshole's mouth. He is NOT the king and he is NOT the dictator, no matter how much he and his henchmen think he is.

How about starting with impeachment?

[bdamomma]

38. Listen to Keith Olbermann

on impeachment

https://www.youtube.com/shorts/0kVH2GCXD-8

[Bluethroughu]

34. Well he could start with the J6ers...

Some did not make it 24 hours before committing another crime.

[58Sunliner]

39. This needs to be on the front page. It is Nazi shit.

Think about who he dreams of putting away and denying rights to. Think of who this will disproportionately effect. Black males. This is racism, through and through. I imagine he is going to strip them of their citizenship and they will be unpaid slave labor to the highest bidder housed in dangerous and deadly facilities with little oversight. The comment he makes about others? Dissidents, and who knows who else. Anyone he labels an enemy.

[sakabatou]

40. So, penal colonies, as another user said, or we're getting prison hulks

[alarimer]

42. Maybe that's why he wants Greenland.

I don't think there is a country on earth that would take our criminals. Russian Gulags?

[ultralite001]

44. F47 will volunteer them...

for the Musketeer's Martian task force...

Sacrificial lambs for space X-ploration...

[OLDMDDEM]

51. So, Trump will exile himself?

[VMA131Marine]

53. It should be noted, the Federal Government

only has jurisdiction over the punishment of people convicted of Federal crimes. He has no say over people in state penitentiaries and if he tries to implement this plan he’ll be dead of old age/dementia/heart attack/stroke/etc before the litigation is even close to completed.

[woodsprite]

54. AND *THAT's* the real reason why he's expanding Guantanamo! nt

[Gore1FL]

56. When does he leave? nt

[bucolic_frolic]

59. 2 traffic tickets, off to the Gulag with ya /nt

[riversedge]

60. Trump-the Felon-in-Chief with 34 felonies on his record best watch himself!!
