So when some of us were warning, this is fascistic rhetoric, this is authoritarian rhetoric, this is extra constitutional rhetoric, we were told, stop being alarmist.
It's just Donald Trump.
Don't take him literally.
Do you remember all that?
Don't take him literally.
To be fair to Trump, he is literally doing what he said he would do.
That first day, I think Time Magazine did a little roundup, Don, this week, that two-thirds of Project 2025 stuff is going on.
Two-thirds of what he's done appeared in Project 2025.
So when those of us that were saying Project 2025, and he was saying, well, that's not me.
Don't blame Project 2025 on Trump.
He's doing Project 2025.
No surprise there.
Take the birthright citizenship.
He's not just doing it on undocumented immigrants or illegals, as he calls them.
We now discover from the text of the executive order, it's anyone who's not a permanent resident or a citizen.
So if you're an H-1B worker, if you are a student, your kids born in America are no longer citizens.
So we have to take him seriously, literally and everything above.
So I think we have to be careful when we talk about this.
I've been deferring to a lot of experts and activists and immigration reporters on this story, which is on the one hand, we need to be crystal clear about that this is a very anti-immigrant, racist administration that wants to make America white again, wants to deport people and terrorize people into self-deporting to borrow Mitt Romneyism.
We have to be careful about some of the numbers that are being thrown around.
