In case he wins another term in the White House, former President Donald Trump seems to have big plans for one close adviser, Mike Davis.

We want him in a very high capacity, Trump said Friday at a rally in Colorado, where Davis has had a house for years.

If certain people in Trumps inner circle get their way, high capacity could mean Davis serves as U.S. attorney general or acting attorney general.

Davis spoke to far-right pundit Benny Johnson one year ago about what he would do as acting attorney general or as he referred to it, his three-week reign of terror.

Before I get chased out of town with my Trump pardon, I will rain hell on Washington, D.C., he told Johnson, reminding him how theyd discussed the subject in the past.

Davis listed his main objectives: fire a lot of people in the executive branch; indict Joe Biden , who defeated Trump in the 2020 presidential election; deport 10 million people and growing, or about 3% of the countrys population; detain a lot of people in Guantanamo Bay and the D.C. gulag; and pardon those charged over the storming of the U.S. Capitol on Jan. 6, 2021.

Were going to put kids in cages. Its going to be glorious, Davis said of migrant children.

The former presidents son Donald Trump Jr. and far-right pundit Steve Bannon both sang Davis praises in a profile of the Make America Great Again loyalist published last month in Politico . In front of reporter Adam Wren, Trump Jr. told Davis he wanted him to be attorney general all four years of a second Trump term.

Davis had responded to say he would gladly be Trumps viceroy for three weeks.

While Trump Jr. later claimed to be joking, he was reportedly influential in his fathers decision to fill another top slot: his vice presidential running mate. The position went to Ohio Sen. JD Vance.

Davis has also thrown around the word viceroy repeatedly.

Im going to be Trumps viceroy of D.C. because I dont like democracy. I want more authoritory powers, Davis told Bannon on an episode of his War Room show.

The problem is that its difficult to tell when Davis is joking. Wren wrote that he didnt believe even Davis himself always knew when he was joking. And authoritarian language runs rampant through the Trump campaign Trump has said that he would be a dictator on his first day back in office.

Davis had sworn to Wren that he was not serious when he said he thought Trump critics, including journalists and erstwhile Republican attorney George Conway , should be thrown in gulags. But Wren recounted a shocking anecdote to illustrate how seriously others in Trump World take his style of rhetoric. At one point, while trailing Davis for his story, Wren said he was harassed by a woman who demanded he delete his reporting notes and then recruited multiple men to help her physically prevent him from leaving.

Davis, Wren noted, was alarmed at the treatment the Politico reporter received.
