DONALD TRUMP IS privately fuming over Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis flying migrants from the Texas border to Marthas Vineyard, telling confidants the potential 2024 rival stole my idea for weaponizing immigrants. Turns out, Trump was right but his plans were more extreme than anything DeSantis has come up with to date.
In early 2019, three people familiar with the matter tell Rolling Stone, the then-president workshopped a plan to bus migrants suspected of violent crime from the border to liberal metropolitan areas. The plan, two of the sources say Trump explicitly told staff, was to punish his political rivals in Democratic controlled areas.
I was in the Oval Office for a meeting in March, 2019 in which [Trump] got more specific than just dump[ing] them in blue states, says former Department of Homeland Security official Miles Taylor.
He said, I want you to get the worst of the worst criminals, actual murderers, and actual rapists who cross the [southern] border, and round them up. He did not want to expel them, which is what youre supposed to do in those situations, Taylor says. He specifically said that he wanted us to put them on buses to, and I quote, destabilize those sanctuary cities.
