If the replies to his tweets are any indication, losing the election should be the least of his worries.

Holy shit they hate him.

 

[jmdrake]

This is my problem.

I could not care less what the Marxists do in NYC, if it wasn't for this.

Idiots like this will vote in policies and mouthpieces that will result in all manners of wrack and ruin.

Then they will flee.

And end up in my town or state.

And vote for the same thing all over again.

You're aware of the fact that MAGA supporters Alex Jones and General Michael Flynn are the ones who have called for Trump to confiscate farmland right?

This is why it's hard to take CONservatives seriously. White people complain about losing EBT? Pretend it doesn't happen. MAGA talks about confiscating farms? Pretend it didn't happen. Steve Bannon talks about MAGA being on Obamacare? Pretend it didn't happen. Trump actually DOING what Mamdami says he WANTS to do (taking over the means of production) by strongarming Intel and other companies into giving the federal government an equity share? Pretend it didn't happen. Sure, when you get pressed on it you'll say "Oh I know. I don't support that either." But most of the venom is directed at people far less communist than the guy you voted for because "muh borders" even though he said he wants to bring in 600,000 Chinese students.

 

[Anti Federalist]

They are in favor of seizing farmland and forcing city dwellers at gunpoint to work the farms in the place of the farmers, in the manner of Stalin and Mao?

I'll admit to not paying much mind to Alex Moans for a while now, but that seems out of character.

The MAGA people aren't particularly happy that people who are part of the Chinese Communist party have been buying up farmland that is really close to US military bases.

The problem is two-fold.

We don't want them stealing our military secrets or secretly sabotaging our military or civilian infrastructure by destroying our farmland that is fertile basically destroying our ability to grow and produce food.

This only started when the CCP started to threaten to seize the infrastructure to create microchips from the Chinese nationals who are our friends which would leave our military defenseless in a war because we would run out of trucks in months if we went to war and we would not be able to sustain a war because all of our logistics would fail and our front lines would starve and run out of arms.

Trump has been restoring our own domestic manufacturing capabilities so that we are never backed into that corner.

Trump is making sure our military is never put on "death ground" by an asymmetric attack.

The vast number of people on food stamps aren't born from people with two American parents.

They are people who came here from other countries and many of them are illegal.

White people are by far not the people in the income bracket that qualify for food stamps and cost taxpayers 9 billion dollars a month after interest.

They are the ones who pay for the majority of taxes in this country and the cost to keep this country free.

If Chinese people go to our schools maybe we can teach some of them not to be communists and make them our friends.

"Do I not destroy my enemies when I make them my friends?"

-Abraham Lincoln

China's tactics of war come from their thousands of years of history.

They will try to destroy our ability to fight a war to defend ourselves rather than fight a war directly. That means they would attack our military and civilian infrastructure.

They would put us on death ground.

Sun Tzu is "In death ground, fight", It is often interpreted in a broader sense as: "Throw your soldiers into positions whence there is no escape, and they will prefer death to flight".

Oh, of course they won't put it like that. They said it's "to protect the farms from a Chinese bio-attack." See starting at 00:26:00 below.



Remember 2020? Trump was in charge when he basically shut down the entire country in response to COVID. That's the way fascism (as opposed to socialism) works. They do the same thing (take over farmland) but one claims it's for "re-distribution of wealth" and the other claims it's to "save the country" from the socialists who would do the very same thing if they were in power. Hitler and Moussolini came to power in part because they promised to protect their nations from socialism, despite Hitler literally being a national socialist.

Which executive order was that? I do remember many state governors doing that.

Trump didn't shut the entire country down in 2020. We have something called federalism not fascism. Some states did not shut down at all.

Are you asking about the 2020 lockdowns?

This is what happened according to ChatGPT and I can provide you with links if you like.

1. Trump didn’t order the lockdowns — those were state decisions​

Under U.S. federalism, public-health powers rest primarily with the states.
That means:

• Governors and local officials issued stay-at-home orders, school closures, and business restrictions.
• The federal government could not legally compel states to “lock down.”

So when we say “Trump had nothing to do with the lockdowns,” it means he didn’t issue a federal executive order mandating them. There was no nationwide closure decree signed by the president.

---

2. But Trump did issue national guidelines that heavily influenced those state decisions​

On March 16, 2020, after briefings led by Dr. Deborah Birx and Dr. Anthony Fauci, the White House released the document

“15 Days to Slow the Spread.”
This was a set of federal recommendations urging:

• avoiding gatherings of more than 10 people,
• staying home if sick,
• closing schools, bars, and restaurants,
• working from home if possible, etc.

These were not legally binding, but they served as a national cue for governors and mayors to act. Many states announced or extended lockdowns within days of that press conference.

---

3. The “extension” episode​

By late March, those 15 days were almost up. Dr. Birx and Dr. Fauci presented new models to President Trump projecting up to 100,000–200,000 deaths if restrictions were lifted too early.
According to multiple reports (e.g., TIME, Washington Post), Birx “persuaded Trump to extend” the guidance — meaning:

He agreed to issue a new set of federal recommendations — “30 Days to Slow the Spread” — rather than letting the federal guidelines expire on March 30.

So, when journalists write that Birx persuaded Trump to extend “social-isolation measures,” they’re referring to the continuation of those national guidelines, not to state-level lockdown orders.

---

4. In short​

Level	Legal authority	What actually happened
Federal (Trump/Birx/Fauci)	Issued recommendations like 15 Days / 30 Days to Slow the Spread	Encouraged social distancing, travel limits, and school closures
State & local governments	Held legal power to restrict movement, close businesses, etc.	Implemented binding “lockdown” orders and mandates

---

5. Why the confusion persists​

Media often use “lockdown” as shorthand for any pandemic restriction, even non-binding federal guidance. So “Birx persuaded Trump to extend the lockdown” really means she persuaded him to extend the national social-distancing guidelines that underpinned state lockdowns.

Sounds like you should go back and edit your post then.

 

[jmdrake]

Sounds like you should go back and edit your post then.

Absolutely not. Trump basically shut down the entire country. What it through en executive order? No. But it was through "guidelines" that almost all states followed. For example, once Trump added churches to the "essential" list, a lot of states changed their tune and allowed churches to reopen.

Edit: And this is what Trump himself had to say about what he did.

President Trump’s Historic Coronavirus Response​

My Administration will stop at nothing to save lives and shield the vulnerable.

President Donald J. Trump
KEY TAKEAWAYS:

• Took early action to cut off travel from China
• Built the world’s leading testing system from nothing
• Enacted mitigation measures to slow the spread
• Mobilized public and private sectors to secure needed supplies
• Took action to protect vulnerable Americans
• Launched effort to deliver a vaccine and therapeutics in record time
• Provided support to workers and businesses
• Paved way for reopening to get America working again
• Surged resources to hot spots as they arose
• Confronted China as origin of the virus while Democrats and media cowered

At the outset, President Trump took action to stop travel from China to stem the spread to the United States as long as possible.

• While Democrats were focused on their impeachment sham, President Trump took swift and decisive action to stop travel from China in January and enhanced airport screenings to help stop cases from coming into the United States as long as possible.
• In his February 4th State of the Union address, President Trump pledged to “take all necessary steps to safeguard our citizens from the virus,” while the Democrats’ response made not a single mention of the virus or even the threat of China.

President Trump built the world’s leading testing system from nothing, based on a virus we have never faced before.

• In order to accurately trace and combat this virus, President Trump set out to build the world’s best testing system, and that’s exactly what he did.
• We have already conducted more than 65 million tests, far outpacing any other country.

As soon as cases began to rise, President Trump released guidance to slow the spread.

• President Trump released guidance recommending mitigation measures critical to slowing the spread of the virus, and the American people stepped up to do their part.
• Dr. Fauci and Dr. Birx have attested to the fact that President Trump took action as soon as the data was presented to him.

In order to secure the supplies needed to confront the surge in coronavirus we faced, President Trump led the largest mobilization of public and private sector resources since WWII.

• The President directed his Administration to secure and distribute needed medical supplies to states in need – resulting in billions of PPE delivered so far.
• At the President’s urging, private companies shifted production to supplying masks, ventilators, hand sanitizer, testing supplies, and more.
• President Trump has acted under the Defense Production Act more than 30 times to ensure we have the supplies we need.
• When we faced a potentially catastrophic shortage of ventilators, President Trump took action to produce 100,000 ventilators and ensure no patient who needs one goes without a ventilator.

President Trump moved swiftly to protect vulnerable communities.

• The Administration quickly established guidelines for nursing homes and expanded telehealth opportunities to protect our vulnerable seniors.
• The President took action to ensure that uninsured Americans are able to get the COVID-19 care and testing they need.
• President Trump directed Secretary Carson to focus the White House Opportunity and Revitalization Council on underserved communities impacted by COVID-19.
• The Administration is investing approximately $2 billion in community health centers, helping their 28 million patients in medically underserved areas receive the care and testing they need.

Early in the fight against the virus, President Trump launched a historic effort to develop a vaccine and therapeutics in record time.

• President Trump understood early on that in order to defeat this virus once and for all and protect Americans, we need a vaccine and therapeutics.
• President Trump revolutionized the clinical trial process to ensure Americans get a safe vaccine as quickly as possible, by providing unprecedented investments in leading vaccine candidates to simultaneously produce them as they are tested and developed.
• Thanks to President Trump’s efforts, coronavirus vaccine trials have progressed at record speeds, with multiple candidates already in or near the final stage of clinical trials.

President Trump responded to the devastating toll the virus took on our businesses and workers and secured unprecedented financial support.

• The President negotiated and launched the Paycheck Protection Program – helping save 51 million American jobs.
• President Trump secured direct payments to help the countless Americans who are hurting due to the pandemic.
• President Trump took executive action to give tax relief to workers, ensure unemployment benefits for those out of work, prevent families from losing their homes to eviction or foreclosure, and provide student debt relief for Americans already hurting due to the virus.

Understanding the harmful toll a never-ending shutdown would have on our Nation, President Trump provided support to help states safely reopen as soon as they were able.

• As we built out our critical medical supplies, flattened the curve, and rapidly expanded testing, states across the country were able to safely move towards reopening.
• President Trump ensured they had the data and resources to reopen on the correct timeframe.

As hot spots have emerged, President Trump has surged resources to impacted areas while enabling us to prevent another nationwide shutdown.

• The President has provided support to states facing new emergences of the virus, including surging testing sites, deploying medical personnel, and advising on mitigation strategies.

While the media and Democrats refuse to do so, President Trump has called out China for its actions to ensure we prevent a similar threat from arising again.

• President Trump has rightly called out China’s handling of the virus for refusing to be transparent and failing to contain the virus before it spread.
• The President held the WHO accountable for its egregious bias towards China that jeopardizes the safety of Americans.

So he is a fascist for taking Fauci’s and Birx’s advice and coming up with recommendations or “guidelines”. OK.

This gets tiring. Go back and re-read one of the hundred other times you and other Trumpers asked this same question and had other people do your research for you and provide the answers in posts which you either didn't bother reading or read and just decided to feign ignorance.

OK, good, then you already know Trump bears a large part of the blame for shutting the country down, and it wasn't just governors. Because that happened before your eyes, and Trump himself was not shy about bragging about his role in it and openly castigating governors who failed to shut their states down as strictly as he wanted and keep them closed as long as he wanted.
