Who will he go after first? That's a loaded question isn't it?

As the biggest bully with the biggest "bully pulpit" you'd think he would go after the least able to defend themselves. But then again he needs to make a "yuuuuge" show of his toughness & power. So my guess is that his first victims will be immigrants. I'd say as he is flaunting his inaugural duties his pre-positioned thugs will be ready for his pre-approved Executive Orders to immediately go out. My guess, look for round ups at prisons, schools, hospitals, & most especially meatpacking facilities. (As an aside, America, you're bitching about how high your beef prices are now, just wait til all the immigrants that do that work magically disappear!) And since the cruelty is the point I'd say you'll see children get home from school to find no Mom or Dad there to greet them, but maybe they'll have some kindly ICE agent waiting to take them to be reunited with their parents only to be whisked away to some holding facility, given their mylar blanket & then locked away.

But that's just my guess. He may decide to have a full frontal assault against all the "favorite" bogeymen to show just how tough he can be.

And as I've stated before, don't think he's going to worry about deporting them, he just wants to get them into camps, their fate to be determined later on.

I agree he starts with immigrants who have the fewest defenders. But he soon moves on to the prosecutors (Smith, Garland, James) who really make him angry, then the pols (Cheney, Kinzinger), and then the truth press - I could see Rachel Maddow being arrested on air for treason to make a point.

I agree about Rachel.
