Donald Trump will become our next president on January 20, 2025. We already know what kind of president he was and where he placed his priorities and loyalties. Trump’s motto is telling the people what they want to hear, then doing whatever he wants to do, and the people will be none the wiser.
On July 1, 2024, the U.S. Supreme Court’s 6-3 ruling in Trump vs United States gave former President Trump presumptively immunity from criminal liability for his official acts while in office, and absolutely immunity for some of them, including his attempts to use the Justice Department to obstruct the results of the 2020 election.
This conservative Supreme Court ruling basically says that presidents are above the law. This ruling has now made any president a direct threat to the rule of law, our democracy, and a potential dictator while in office or longer. This ruling tells us that six of the Supreme Court justices are okay with this.
We know Trump admires dictators and the absolute power they have. He is all about power and hates anything that restricts his power. We know that he now believes that the U.S. Supreme Court has given him total immunity to do anything he wants, legal, illegal, constitutional, or unconstitutional.
We can get an idea on how he will rule as president by the type of people he is picking to fill his cabinet positions. His main priority is picking people that will swear their loyalty to him and will do anything he tells them to do, regardless of the rule of law and its consequences.
Trump sees the federal government agencies as bastions containing his “enemies within.” He intends to weaken every department and agency, root out any experts that might contradict his whims, weaken Congress’s balancing power, and ignore any law that might stand in his way. Trump’s cabinet appointments will impose his vengeance on the agency they will lead.
Trump does not want and will not allow anything to obstruct his appointees from taking office like FBI background screenings and signing legal documents containing an ethics policy. Trump’s plan is to launch a full-scale assault on the federal government from the top down. Trump seeks to install his cabinet by circumventing the U.S. Senate’s constitutional duty to advise and consent and instead allow his picks to assume their positions as recess appointments. He will use presidential executive orders to implement as many of his proposals as he can.
Over the next four years, Trump will probably implement some or most of Project 2025’s proposals, such as, putting the entire executive branch under presidential control, reclassifying tens of thousands of federal civil service workers as political appointees and replacing them with people loyal to the president, taking partisan control of the Department of Justice (DOJ) and the FBI. He plans on abolishing the Department of Education, reducing the EPA’s environmental and climate change regulations to favor fossil fuels, and cutting Medicare and Medicaid. He will remove legal protections against discrimination based on sexual orientation and gender identity, terminating diversity, equity, and inclusion programs while having the DOJ prosecute anti-white racism. One of his biggest plans is to begin the mass deportation of illegal immigrants living in the U.S. He will also try to deploy the military for domestic law enforcement.
Trump intends to sweep aside checks and balances for his planned one-man rule. He believes he can do this because the Republican senators and representatives are afraid of his wrath and retribution if they block his plans. He also believes the Supreme Court will support his actions, thus giving him complete control of government policy and actions.
This is what the 12,456 Siskiyou County Trump voters helped create. This is your legacy. Welcome to Trump’s new America.

Not my president! He will be assassinated. There were more than 3 attempts on his life already. I am sure he will become quite a target.
I believe the biggest threat to our democracy is censorship. If you have read at least some of the Twitter Files you will realize why I feel this way. We know from the files Snowden released that the govt. spies on us, through our phones and internet activity. George Orwell’s ‘1984’ is right around the corner. The next step is control of the internet. Another threat to our country is what some journalists refer to as ‘Forever Wars’, which led to the birth of al-Qaeda and Isis and 9/11. According to Professor Jeffrey Sachs, the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan have contributed $8 trillion to our debt. This is not sustainable. The Biden administration has supported censorship (Missouri v Biden) and the forever war foreign policy. I could not vote for Harris, which most likely would have been a continuation of Biden’s policies. It’s up to the House, Senate and Supreme court to make sure our Constitution is not violated, by Trump or any agency.
