Trump's Coming Reign-of-Terror
If he wins, he will arrest his political enemies
No, he hasn’t been joking or just trying to own the libs.
No, he’s not just playing to the most savage of his blood-thirsty base.
If Trump wins, he will go after his political opponents—or, to use his own language, he will take out “the enemy within.” He will use his Justice Department and any other federal agency at his disposal to investigate, arrest, and/or try people like Liz Cheney, Adam Kinzinger, General Mark Milley, Alexander Vindman, and dozens (if not hundreds and perhaps even thousands) of others who have refused to kneel before him. They will be investigated for any possible crime that he and his henchmen can dream up—from tax evasion and campaign finance violations to treason. If possible, he will even use military tribunals—so his alleged enemies can’t escape his retribution through a jury trial. And what is more, many millions of Americans who have so enthusiastically joined his malignant dominance hierarchy will cheer him on.
We know Trump is planning a modern-day purge of his enemies because he has been explicitly stating this repeatedly over the last two years. In June of this year, on TruthSocial, he “retruthed” an angry, all-cap post calling for the prosecution of Liz Cheney by a military tribunal. For treason.
Here is CNN’s Jack Tapper on Trump’s recent threats:
Indeed, according to an analysis by Tom Dreisbach at NPR: “Since 2022, when he began preparing for the presidential campaign, Trump has issued more than 100 threats to investigate, prosecute, imprison or otherwise punish his perceived opponents.”
We also know that Trump is bent on harming his opponents as he made similar efforts to jail Hillary Clinton, James Comey, Andrew McCabe, and others during his first administration, but Attorney General Jeff Sessions refused to follow through.
