That's what they said about the "Mass Deportations Now" signs at the RNC 2024 campaign events.

No, they pretty openly campaigned on that.

Trump was shot while the slide showing the illegal border crossing chart under the Biden admin and talking about how much work it was going to be to send everyone back.

I agree, I'm talking about the disingenuous double talk they'd give when pressed, anyone who made a big deal about it was overreacting, it's just a joke (but not really) to trigger liberals, haha look at how upset you're getting, etc.

I don’t ever remember deportations being a joke. From Laken Riley and more it was probably the most serious campaign point.

There were a lot of jokes around things that will never happen, like a 3rd term.

I personally think Trump will be too old to run, but I don’t think for a second they won’t try to run him if he’s able. They always start by making it a “joke”.

Haha, only serious?

Yes. Even sent a bunch of Trump 2028 hats to Gavin Newsom.
