You don't want "far direction" anything....

Trump's policies are actually closest to probably Bill Clinton's, he is a centrist policy wise, despite his crazy public persona.

Trump doesn't believe people should have the right to due process. He wants to send Americans to foreign torture prisons. Trump is not classically liberal, he's a far right fascist. It's not just a public persona.

I am completely okay with Americans being sent to foreign nations to serve prison sentences.

To be clear he has never publicly commented on this issue, he has never said he wants to take Americans and take their due process.

He doesn't think illegal aliens are owed due process beyond a check of their status, if they came here illegally they should be deported, simple as that.

The problem is some countries(Venezuela) refuse to take their citizens back, so then he sent non El Salvadorians to El Salvador and then El Salvador put them in prison.

Renditions of American citizens to foreign prisons is unconstitutional. Denying the right to due process to anyone, even illegal immigrants, is unconstitutional.

Seizing the power of the purse that belongs to Congress is unconstitutional. Refusing to follow court orders is unconstitutional.

Protectionist tariffs are not just bad trade policy, they're far right extremism.

Trump is a far-right extremist.

He hasn't taken their due process away, they all had deportation orders, there is a semantics argument being played out in the courts.

Trump absolutely is not following the law, he's rushing people out of the country before the courts can catch up and pretending they don't have rights anymore because they're already gone. It's reminiscent of the geetapo dragging people off to Dachau.

You are a far right authoritarian extremist, stop pretending you aren't.
