The Spin

Trump has weaponized federal power into a tool of authoritarian control, freezing billions in infrastructure funds to punish Democratic cities and deploying troops against American citizens. This isn't governance — it's state-sponsored intimidation designed to crush dissent and democracy itself.

These so-called democracy protests are actually backed by the Communist Party of America and radical Marxist groups seeking to destroy the U.S.' democratic republic. Trump has secured borders, deported criminals and brought peace deals while protesters align with anti-American forces.

Metaculus Prediction

There's a 1% chance that Donald Trump will be jailed or incarcerated before 2030, according to the Metaculus prediction community.
