Donald Trump
NY Times - As a candidate for president once again, Donald Trump could not be
clearer about his plans to use the Justice Department to seek revenge
against his enemies. During his 2016 campaign, his rallies exploded with
the chant “Lock Her Up.” Now Trump
talks about ordering prosecutions against so many people that his
threats have become commonplace. “WHEN I WIN, those people that CHEATED
will be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the Law, which will include
long term prison sentences,” Trump posted online in September about
election administrators, among others. It’s just one example in a long
list that extends to President Biden and his family, Vice President
Kamala Harris, members of Congress, prosecutors, judges and former
F.B.I., Department of Justice and national-security officials.
Guardian - A “beautiful” beach body and a “mentally disabled” opponent. “One rough hour”
of police retaliation to stop criminals. “A million Rambos” in
Afghanistan. Haitian immigrants “eating the dogs” and “eating the cats”.
Death by electrocution versus death by shark. Insane asylums and, of
course, “the late, great Hannibal Lecter”.These
are just a few of the recent remarks made by one of two major
candidates for president of the United States. Donald Trump, the
Republican nominee, has spent years saying the unsayable to entertain,
goad and grab attention. But his pronouncements over the past few weeks
have plumbed new depths of absurdity and incoherence.
Washington Post - Vance said Donald Trump would end funding to Planned Parenthood. The comments from Trump’s running mate, made this weekend, were in contrast to recent, softer messaging on abortion from Trump and other Republicans.
