People Have A LOT To Say About Donald Trump Saying He Wants To Start Deporting Citizens Next

You read that right — the president of the United States said some citizens should be deported. We shared some of the thousands of comments about it left on Reddit, and the BuzzFeed Community chimed in big-time. Here's what some of the nearly 500 commenters had to say:

2. "The GOP and mainstream Democrats have been on a fascist path for decades, and with Trump and clowns in office, it's full speed ahead. The oath to defend the Constitution means nothing to the Trump administration. The fascists are dedicated to the oligarchs, and under this administration, they are brazenly above the law. There is no balance of power in the three branches of the federal government anymore. Americans need to rise up to end this tyranny."

3. "As somebody seeing this from the UK, it is staggering how the majority of the US voted for this SOB, knowing what he was like when he was president before, over Harris."

—nostalgicvolcano638

5. "Pretty soon, it'll be anyone who says anything negative about Trump or any of his precious minions. It's sickening to think how many ignorant people there are in our country that are content to be lemmings."

—casid

6. "He's a felon!!! He needs to be in PRISON!! And NOT one of those guarded fancy prisons, put him in general population and see how long he lasts!!!!!"

—nostalgiczombie247

7. "Trump's talking about naturalized citizens, like his wife, Melania. He's already looking for a way to strip naturalized citizens of their citizenship by claiming he's denaturalizing 'criminals' and then deporting them. When he talks about immigrants, he's not just talking about the undocumented but about everyone who wasn't born in America. Because to him, those are the people who vote Democrat. He's trying to intimidate a huge chunk of America into not saying anything bad about him."

9. "Great idea — let's start with POTUS!!!!!"

—modernskull553

10. "As a 75-year-old veteran who was born here, I'm self-deporting ASAP."

—furrycrocodile21

11. "Considering that Felonious Bonespurs (aka Donald Trump) has a worse criminal record than most of the people he is deporting, perhaps we should look for someplace to send him."

—youngcentipede765

13. "If the USA still exists in 50 years, the history books will be absurd. 'Teacher, you mean to tell me my ancestors voted a cartoon villain for president? Twice?? WILLINGLY???'"

—certified_drapetomaniac

14. "No one should be surprised. This is the Trump that has been in plain sight since day one. American voters only see and hear what they choose to. If people would actually pay attention, this man would have already been in prison."

—jealousbunny40

15. "I keep thinking I will wake up in the morning and realize it was a horrible dream, and then I wake up. Repeat. I seriously cannot take this any longer."

—boringpuppy47

17. "I know it all looks pretty bleak because we have an amoral, ignorant orange shit stain as president, but this is still America. And in America, we still have a system of checks and balances in our three branches of government. We can't do anything about the aforementioned shit stain, and we can't do anything about the Supreme Court, but we can do something about our legislative branch."

"The midterms are next year, and this is where there is hope. Trump can't 'executive order' his MAGA agenda without the Senate and the House. The GOP holds a slim majority in both, but if the Dems can take either of those chambers, then they can effectively silence him."

—veritass

18. "When the president is a 34-time convicted felon and liable for sexual abuse, the checks and balances don't exist anymore."

—missmissymaria143

19. "When TF is someone going to do something? He's violating laws, and they're just letting him...like, there's NOTHING we can do but just allow this crazy ass shit to keep happening?? It's been six months! Imagine where we're going to be by Christmas, guys..."

21. "He's an idiot who is completely self-centered. He is mean, a bully, and is using the power of the presidency to hurt anyone or everyone he wants."

—cheesysinger262

22. "People wonder why German society did nothing about the Holocaust. The US today has no idea what is happening in Trump's concentration camps. He is a dictator. The US has shown the world its true face: money, whiteness, power, and elitism...nothing else matters."

—surprisedtrout753

23. "The die-hard supporters won't say anything until he comes for them. The removal of birthright citizenship should give everyone pause. This just seems to be part of the 'plan' for his becoming emperor for life. It seems he's going to try deporting anyone he doesn't like, and no one will be safe."

—youngcloud79

25. "Hear me out. Saying things like, 'If the Democrats did this…' We all know that already. Start calling people out at the statewide and local levels. They are the ones doing this and condoning this. Enough whataboutism?! This is happening right now before our very eyes."

"Volunteer at your polling place. Call. Call. Call every elected official that represents you, whether you voted for them or not. The people who stand against Trump are beyond exhausted. Give them hope. Tell them that you care. Imagine how amazing that would feel. Aside from swiping through your phone, you don't have to physically do a thing. During this rant, I realized that the Democrats need to hear our fire more than the Republicans."

26. "When one-issue voters bury their heads in the sand about the real issues, WTF did they think was going to happen?"

—crispyjaguar587

27. "Twelve people have died in ICE captivity so far in 2025. We have the concentration camps being set up already. I keep fearing they'll not just pull a page from the Nazi playbook, but the last several chapters."
