Would you tell an undocumented immigrant or a trans person to not worry because Trump doesn't follow up on his claims and neither do all the people who are working for him? I hope not.

I definitely hope not.

Just because Trump lies a lot doesn't mean nothing is going to happen. Especially not when all the people who are part of his administration are backing him up on it. And Project 2025. And plenty of members of congress.

But sure, they're all lying. No one has anything to worry about. They'll be just as safe as they were under Biden and Obama. After all, like you suggested, Trump didn't do anything all that bad last time.

Trump and his whole planned administration and all those congresspeople and Project 2025... all a lie. Don't worry about it. Everyone will be safe. There won't be a any genocide. All of those people are just playing pretend.

When it comes to crimes against humanity, Trump will do as much as he can until he is stopped. He likes performative cruelty. As for promises of prosperity for the MAGidiots, those were just lies to grab votes, he won't do anything for those lumpen nitwits since there's nothing in it for him.
