Donald Trump gave a lengthy interview this week for a cover story in Time magazine—and it sure scared The New Abnormal co-hosts Danielle Moodie and Andy Levy.
In it, the twice-impeached 2024 hopeful lays out his plans to mobilize the military domestically to deport more than 11 million people, pardon every Jan. 6 rioter, allow states to monitor women’s pregnancies, withhold congressionally appropriated funding at his whims, and fire any attorney general that does not prosecute his chosen targets—among other things.
“My God, if there was any doubt about what a second Trump term will look like, he laid it out in no explicit terms,” Moodie said.
“I feel like [this interview] should be force-fed to people, Clockwork Orange-style, who are still sort of on the fence or undecided, because this man is insane,” Levy added in agreement. “None of this is hyperbole. It’s just the reality of where we are.”
