In These Times - Former President Donald Trump rose to national prominence publicly humiliating workers by firing them on television, posing for cameras as a big tough guy in a spectacle of macho bravado and cruelty. A career boss with a long history
of cheating workers, his long-running reality show in a prime-time slot
on NBC elevated his profile from a braggart white-collar criminal in
the New York tabloids to a savvy boss.
As the current Republican presidential
nominee, he reprised that billionaire boss role, using the spotlight of
the party’s national convention on July 18 to call for United Auto Workers President Shawn Fain to be “fired immediately.”
“Last night, Donald Trump once again attacked our union on a national stage. That should tell you everything you need to know about the man, and the candidate,” Fain said. “As we’ve said for many months, he stands for everything we stand against.”
The Nation - Project 2025 has become synonymous with former president Donald Trump’s campaign. If Trump were to win the election, his supporters, advisers, and enablers would have free rein to inflict their draconian Christian nationalist policies upon the public, from banning abortion pills and brutalizing protesters to decimating trans rights, eliminating the Department of Education, and enacting mass deportations. The authors of Project 2025 seek to sink their claws into nearly every single aspect of American life—including peoples’ most private moments. That’s right: Under a Trump administration, not even your porn is safe.
NPR - If Trump is reelected, he'll be the second president in U.S. history to win non-consecutive terms. Grover Cleveland was the first. Take a look at how Cleveland made it happen.
MSNBC -The Electoral College results could determine whether the Republican presidential nominee spends the next several years in the White House or in courtrooms fighting to fend off prison terms. Indeed, if Trump wins, his criminal caseload would almost certainly be cut in half. Here’s where his four prosecutions stand.
