Olivia of Troye - Disappearing Americans

This week, President Trump sat in the Oval Office beside El Salvador's President Nayib Bukele and made one of the most alarming statements of his second term: "The homegrowns are next." That wasn't just an offhand remark. It was deliberate and deeply revealing.

I've worked in the rooms where these conversations happen. I know how this administration talks behind closed doors. When Trump uses the word "homegrown," he's not pulling it out of thin air. That kind of language signals internal planning is already in motion. It's the next step in a rhetorical evolution we've seen before: "domestic terrorists," "traitors," "treason." Words chosen to justify extreme actions. Words that blur the line between political dissent and national security threats.

Trump doesn't throw around words like "homegrown" lightly. Moments later, in that same press conference, he linked "homegrown criminals" to the very Americans he's suggesting could be sent to prison in a foreign country. In his worldview, terms like homegrown, criminals, and domestic threats appear to be interchangeable. And once you've been labeled this way, the constitutional protections you're entitled to as an American begin to disappear.

This is the same man who told the Proud Boys to "stand back and stand by" during his first term. He knows exactly what and who he's saying it to.
