‘Fascism’: Critics warn after Trump says he could order DOJ indictments against opponents

Donald Trump on Thursday said he could order the Dept. of Justice to "indict" his opponents if he wins back the White House next year, leading critics to issue warnings.

"On Thursday, in an interview with Univision, Trump again made explicit what is often implicit in his vengeance-fuelled campaign: his willingness to use the justice system to go after his opponents if he is returned to the White House," The New Yorker's Susan B. Glasser reports. "Any other prospective President would have denied with all possible force a recent Washington Post report that Trump has already demanded that his aides make plans to target some former advisers who have become public critics, including his former chief of staff John Kelly, former Attorney General Bill Barr, and former chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff Mark Milley."

Melania MIA from Trump's side: 'They might as well live in another country'

A pair of male Washington Post reporters revealed in a 1,000-word investigative report that Melania Trump is no longer standing by her man. But more than that, she's missing in action from the Palm Beach life she once embraced.

Australian billionaire Anthony Pratt revealed recently from one of his many conversations with Donald Trump that the ex-president asked his third wife to prance around the Mar-a-Lago pool in a bikini "so all the other guys could get a look at what they were missing." But it appears the misplaced Melania isn't doing much by the pool or around town, at rallies, or in one of the many courtrooms in which her husband has been arraigned.
