[Narrator] November 5th, 2024.Donald Trump defeats a divided and dispirited Democratic campaign. On January 20th, 2025, Donald Trump is sworn in as the 47th president of the United States.

Unfortunately, he keeps his promises.

Trump seizes control of a divided government, signing hundreds of executive orders implementing Project 2025. Trump replaces over 50,000 civil servants with hard-line MAGA loyalists. The federal oath of office now requires declaring loyalty to the president, not the constitution. Protected by the Supreme Court's grant of total immunity for official acts, Donald Trump orders the Department of Justice to arrest members of the January 6th commission, current and former DOJ employees, and political opponents for treason, election interference, and conspiracy. He declares it to be an official act.

Trump ends birthright citizenship by executive order and turns millions of American-born citizens into illegal aliens overnight. Mass deportations begin. Hundreds of thousands, including legal US residents and American citizens, are imprisoned in newly-built camps.

Protests erupt. Trump addresses the nation from the Oval Office, invoking the Insurrection Act and declaring the protestors a danger to American sovereignty.

He orders the National Guard to use deadly force to suppress the protests.

In the wake of the bloody violence, Trump declares nation-wide martial law, awarding himself new powers under the freshly-signed American Sovereignty Protection Order, which defines protests of immigration policies as non-protected speech and a threat to national security.

Governors in New York, California, Illinois, and elsewhere declare their opposition, promising to refuse compliance in their states. Trump orders their arrests.

Trump pardons every January 6th attacker, including those who assaulted the police, and in a White House ceremony, issues a new presidential medal honoring them. Many are given jobs in his administration.

The Department of Education is renamed the Department of American Values, and mandates a nation-wide Christian nationalist curriculum for all schools receiving federal aid.

Trump, joined by speaker Mike Johnson and evangelical leaders, announces that the Department of Health and Human Services has reclassified Mifepristone, making it illegal to distribute or prescribe, as well as new HHS regulations that make IVF treatments impossible to legally administer.

Trump reverses one campaign promise by declaring a national abortion ban by executive order.

Challenges to his authority are rejected by the Supreme Court, which has seen new appointments from Trump after it was expanded to 12 justices.

He signs an executive order removing abortion records from HIPAA privacy regulations and announces a new federal data-sharing program so states can monitor women's periods. Thousands are detained while crossing state lines under suspicion of seeking an abortion.

Trump's acting secretary of defense, a disgraced ex-general, fires over 400 generals and admirals, leaving the military leaderless. Other Trump appointees purge the ranks of the CIA, FBI, and Department of Justice.

By executive order, Trump withdraws the United States from NATO and ends Pentagon cooperation with Ukraine. Russian tanks enter Kyiv. Volodymyr Zelenskyy is killed.

It is announced that Trump will run for a third term, claiming he was unfairly cheated in the 2020 election. His Supreme Court ultimately agrees with this interpretation, paving the way for Trump's 2028 reelection.

If you hear all this and believe it isn’t possible, then ask yourself, what did you believe was impossible just eight years ago?

This isn't a fantasy.

It's Trump's plan, and he's counting on you to believe it couldn't happen.
