'We have to go back to 1798': Trump proposes taking US back to when slavery was legal

Former President Donald Trump proposed making America great again by taking the country "back" to a time when slavery was legal and women couldn't vote.

During a Monday rally in Greenville, North Carolina, the former president talked about his plan to conduct mass deportations if re-elected.

"If Kamala gets four more years, you will not have a country left," Trump complained. "Immediately upon taking the oath of office, I will launch the largest deportation program in American history."

"I will rescue every town across America that has been invaded and conquered, and we will put these vicious and bloodthirsty criminals in jail or kick them the hell out of our country back to where they came from," he continued.

Trump said he would invoke a law, the Alien Enemies Act of 1798, to speed up deportations.

"Think of that, 1798," he told the crowd. "That's when we had real politicians that said, we're not going to play games."

"We have to go back to 1798 to target and dismantle every migrant criminal network operating on American soil," Trump added.

Activists pointed out that 1790-era policies had some drawbacks.

"By 1798, politicians had made it legal to own slaves and illegal for women to vote in America," American Bridge noted on X (formerly Twitter).
