Donald Trump and his MAGA movement fit “the definition of fascism,” according to retired U.S. Army Major General Randy Manner who warned that if the former president were to return to office — especially in light of the Supreme Court’s immunity ruling — “everything changes.”

“If he was to be the commander in chief again, everything changes," Manner said during an interview Monday night with CNN anchor Laura Coates. “The Supreme Court has given him immunity and the threshold for turning the National Guard into his personal police force is quite low."

Donald Trump's former secretary of defense told CNN on Monday night he's taking the former president's concerning remarks "seriously" that he wants to use military force against the "enemy from within" — whom he has described as "radical left lunatics," "sick people" and even political opponents.

"I think the bigger problem are the people from within. We have some very bad people. We have some sick people. Radical left lunatics,” Trump told Fox News’ Maria Bartiromo on “Sunday Morning Futures.”

Former President Donald Trump cut off answering any more questions abruptly at his town hall event in Oaks, Pennsylvania, on Monday — saying, "Let's not do any more questions. Let's just listen to music. Who the hell wants to hear questions?"

Trump then proceeded to spend several minutes doing nothing, while several different songs blared out over the crowd, taking no further questions and seemingly leaving even his own surrogate, Gov. Kristi Noem (R-SD) confused and unsure what to do.

Responding to recent comments that Sen. J.D. Vance (R-OH) made about the end of their friendship, a former Yale classmate said Monday night that while she too is “sad about the loss of our friendship,” the Republican vice presidential nominee has “a different definition of what love looks like.”

“I’m sad about the loss of our friendship, but I think, you know, I have a different definition of love than J.D.,” said Sofia Nelson, Vance’s former Yale Law School classmate and one-time close friend, who clashed with Vance over their disagreements about gender-affirming health care. Nelson, who is transgender, told CNN anchor Erin Burnett on Monday night on her show “OutFront” that Vance’s stance on issues including LGBTQ+ and women’s rights “is dangerous.”

House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-La.) spent Monday night attacking broadcast news journalists — calling them "in-kind contributions for Vice President Kamala Harris — as he defended former President Donald Trump's decision not to reveal his medical records.

Fox News host Laura Ingraham played a clip on her show of Johnson's appearance on "Meet the Press" in which Johnson tells the interviewer it's "unnecessary" for Trump to release his medical records because "he's on display every minute."

Gov. Glenn Youngkin (R-VA) tried to justify former President Donald Trump's increasingly authoritarian threats against political opponents and the "enemy from within" on CNN — and a stunned Jake Tapper had to keep reminding him that Trump "literally" said the things Youngkin denied he said.

Youngkin repeatedly insisted that Trump was just talking about drastic measures to get border security under control.

A pro-MAGA cable news host felt the need to explain Donald Trump's "lack of focus" following a rambling interview Monday.

After wrapping up his interview with Trump, Newsmax host Chris Salcedo closed his show with a few final thoughts.

The pro-veteran group Vote Vets is out with a new ad — with Halloween-themed music — highlighting what it calls Donald Trump's cognitive issues, showing him misremembering situations and slurring words.

Among the pieces of evidence the group showed: a clip of Trump on Fox News talking about the crowd's response to the debate — when there was no crowd.

The mayor of Los Angeles warned Monday that the nation's homelessness crisis would be far worse under a second Trump administration.

Speaking to CNN's Jake Tapper on "The Lead," on Monday afternoon, Karen Bass was asked about homelessness.

A host of Right Side Broadcasting Network interviewed a poodle named Ginger, an apparent candidate for Pennsylvania attorney general, at a rally for Donald Trump on Monday.

While speaking to Trump supporters at the rally in Oaks, host Paul Ingrassia met a woman who said her dog was running to become the state's top prosecutor.

Fox News anchor Bret Baier revealed Monday there would be "no stipulations" in his upcoming interview with Vice President Kamala Harris.

During a Monday appearance on Fox News, Baier acknowledged a controversy surrounding an interview with Harris that was allegedly edited by CBS News.

Former White House deputy press secretary Sarah Matthews is one of a collection of young women who worked for Donald Trump during his first term who are now sounding the alarm against him.

Speaking to MSNBC on Monday, Matthews said she's joining with other Republicans like Rep. Liz Cheney (R-WY) in campaigning for Vice President Kamala Harris because she's fully aware of the dangers another Trump presidency poses.
