trump appeals to conspiracy theorists and promises chaos.

Trump...

Promised to "root out" what he called "radical left thugs that live like vermin within the confines of our country that lie and steal and cheat on elections."

Suggested twice in two months that he'd be a "dictator for one day".  Will "wield that power very aggressively."  
Will "shatter the deep state". Says "the deep state must and will be brought to heel."

Will pass critical reforms making "every executive branch employee fire-able by the president of the United States."

Proposes to overhaul federal departments, relocate up to 100,000 jobs from "the Washington Swamp" to "places filled with patriots", and fire "all of the corrupt actors in our National Security and Intelligence apparatus."

Will "stop the invasion of our country and send Joe Biden's illegal aliens back home."
Accused migrants of "poisoning the blood of our country."

Will use "all necessary state, local, federal and military resources to carry out the largest domestic deportation operation in American history."

Said "If this election isn't won, I'm not sure that you'll ever have another election in this country."
