Longtime conservative and staunch Donald Trump critic, Charlie Sykes, on Tuesday predicted that one of the promises the former president has failed to keep, is one Sykes believes the MAGA hopeful will keep if he wins in November.
"Could we just freeze the moment and look at what Donald Trump is saying that he's going to do? What he is explicitly running on, the lies he's willing to tell," Sykes said, speaking with MSNBC's Nicolle Wallace.
"This is something that I think he intends to do," the former Bulwark editor-in-chief continued. "Eight years ago, he was talking about 'I'm going to build a wall, and Mexico is going to pay for it.' And I think we knew that was bogus. It was never going to happen."

"I think we need to take this literally and seriously," Sykes continued. "I believe that he is thinking through the infrastructure — how he would use this. He would bypass Congress and the courts and there would be little or no due process in what he's doing here. This is one of those choices where we have to decide what we are as a country. Not where we stand on the Democrat, Republican, conservative, liberal continuum, because we're way off of that."
Sykes' comments come after the former president called for Haitian migrants to be sent back to where they came from during his Monday, September 23 Pennsylvania rally.
