GOP consultant destroys ‘shallow tyrant’ Trump for threatening violence from his supporters
On Thursday, conservative pundit Rick Wilson tweeted out his frustration and worry after President Donald Trump said that his supporters would wreak havoc on his opponents.
Trump, who values loyalty, experienced an epic defeat after 12 Republican Senators joined Democrats to vote against his national emergency declaration.
“It is true that Trump is only an aspirational authoritarian, and to date has failed to bring his most illiberal dreams to life,” a report from New York Magazine reads.
In an interview with Breitbart News Trump said that his supporters are “tough” and that it would be “very bad” for people to cross them.
“I actually think that the people on the right are tougher, but they don’t play it tougher. Okay?” Trump said. “I can tell you I have the support of the police, the support of the military, the support of the Bikers for Trump – I have the tough people, but they don’t play it tough — until they go to a certain point, and then it would be very bad, very bad.”
Wilson explained that Trump gets closer to acting like a “tyrant” more every day.

1/ So Donald Trump is threatening to unleash state violence (cops, military) and extrajudicial violence (bikers) against his political opponents.
Cool Republic we had. Shame about the new ownership.

2/ Jefferson seems apropos:
“Experience hath shewn, that even under the best forms of government those entrusted with power have, in time, and by slow operations, perverted it into tyranny.”

3/ Jefferson, again:
“When once a Republic is corrupted, there is no possibility of remedying any of the growing evils but by removing the corruption and restoring its lost principles; every other correction is either useless or a new evil.”

4/ This is such a window into the shallow, vengeful, grotesque mind of Trump. His ball-washing of almost every thug and authoritarian out there is perfectly explicable.
He sees them as role models, not as enemies of the values American can and should represent in the world.

5/ This wasn’t some figure of speech, or some verbal tic. This is a man who edges closer by every standard of the Founders to the definition of “tyrant.” I wish I was exaggerating.

6/ Madison was too optimistic in Federalist 46, 51.

7/ “I can tell you I have the support of the police, the support of the military, the support of the Bikers for Trump – I have the tough people, but they don’t play it tough — until they go to a certain point, and then it would be very bad, very bad” is going down in history.

Trump thinks he can create his own healthcare law that will take the issue off the table for Democrats
One of the significant issues Republicans lost on in 2018 was their nearly decade-long crusade to unmake the Affordable Care Act, known as Obamacare.
This week Trump will announce that he's running for president again, and he promises a surprise announcement while there. While it's unclear what he intends for the surprise, one thing he is talking about is a better healthcare law than the Democratic one.
According to The New York Times, Trump is "vowing to issue the plan within a month or two, reviving a campaign promise with broad consequences for next year’s contest."
The full interview with President Donald Trump finally aired on ABC Sunday, revealing the shocking way that he views his life.
Trump lamented that he's had such a hard life, as the son of multi-millionaires who paid to get him out of trouble multiple times.
"You're a fighter. You, you, it feels like you're in a constant kind of churn--" host George Stephanopoulos began.
"Yeah, uh, my life has always been a fight," Trump said. "And I enjoy that I guess, I don't know if I enjoy it or not, I guess -- sometimes I have false fights like the Russian witch hunt. That's a false fight. That's a made-up, uh, hoax. And I had to fight that."

The right-wing scored more in years of Trump than eight years of George W. Bush: report
President George W. Bush oversaw eight years that restricted rights, banned LGBTQ equality, appointed anti-choice judges and so much more. But under Donald Trump's presidency, social conservatives have managed to roll back any progress made by President Barack Obama's leadership.
A new Axios report listed out any anti-LGBTQ, anti-women and anti-poor policies.
“He campaigned saying that he would be a good friend to LGBT people,” James Esseks, director of the ACLU’s LGBT and HIV Project, told VOX. "Actions speak far louder than words. And what he's done has been a wreck."
