John, this is urgent.
Donald Trump is doubling down on his calls to jail his political enemies. This past weekend, Trump shared posts on Truth Social that advocated for his political opponents to be tried for treason in “televised military tribunals.”
See for yourself:
This isn’t the first time Trump has made dangerous, fascist threats about his second term.
Remember the Time interview from earlier this year, John? Trump suggested there might be political violence if he lost in November.
Trump has also repeatedly called for retribution against his political enemies if he wins. He even echoed Hitler at a recent rally, calling his rivals “vermin.”
And the media? They’re sleepwalking right into Trump’s authoritarianism. While Trump allies at Fox News cheerlead and amplify Trump, legacy media outlets like CNN and the New York Times keep covering Trump like he’s any other candidate.
Take the debate coverage from last week. CNN, who hosted the debate, decided against any live fact-checking or moderator pushback during the debate. Predictably, Trump responded by lying dozens of times.
The New York Times is continuing its all-out effort to get Joe Biden to drop out, reiterating its call for Biden to withdraw from 2024 while giving Trump (and the Republican Party as a whole) a pass on Trump’s criminal convictions and his authoritarian threats.
