Reason - In May, former President Donald Trump traveled to Wisconsin, a battleground state crucial to his 2016 win and 2020 loss. The stakes are high. He made a few big promises to match. "We're going to give our police their power back," he told rallygoers in Waukesha, "and we are going to give them immunity from prosecution."
There are a few problems. As president, Trump would be constrained in immunizing anyone, including police, from prosecution, as most proceedings are in state court where his power wouldn't apply. And while it's true that some officers are charged federally—where he could lobby the Department of Justice to refuse to charge any cop—those prosecutions are often in addition to state charges.
Newsweek - Donald Trump told attendees at a conservative conference that he can "prevent World War III" if he returns for a second term in the White House. The Republican presidential candidate made the remark at The Believers' Summit which was hosted in Palm Beach, Florida, by Turning Point Action, the campaigning arm of conservative group Turning Point USA.
During his address on Friday, which was broadcast in full by the conservative-leaning Right Side Broadcasting Network, Trump said: "I will prevent World War III, nobody else is going to say that, we are closer today to World War III than we've been since the Second World War. We will restore peace through strength, that's what we had."
