You can still send letters- this is a big deal but it’s not -quite- as bad as I first thought since my ballot is mailed in from abroad…

That's not within his power to do.

Trump has tried to do plenty of things that aren't within his power, like ending birthright citizenship by executive order.

Has he "ended" it? Does he have the discipline, intelligence, and patience to do the work to end things legislatively or just make executive orders that will be tied up in courts for years and rescinded as soon he's out of office?

He has codified massive funding to ICE in the BBB, which he has direct control over.

So he can order people to be detained and deported, knowing that the legal system can't handle the appeals of that many people.

Furthermore, the only way he will leave office is if his disease gets bad enough to where he can't function. And then the assumption is that the crazies he has hired aren't going to basically take over the government completely. If he is able to function in 2026 and 2028, US won't have real elections.
