Showcasing her prosecutorial prowess, Vice President Kamala Harris at a rally Monday night put Donald Trump’s own words front and center, using a montage of damning clips from the former president’s rallies and interviews as exhibit number one on why he is a danger to the country.

“Listen to his words, he tells us who he is, and he tells us what he would do if he’s elected president,” Harris told the crowd at a rally in Erie, Pennsylvania. “So, here tonight I will show you one example of Donald Trump’s worldview and intentions. Please roll the clip.”

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.

Former President Donald Trump's one-time National Security Adviser Michael Flynn is ramping up his apocalyptic rhetoric to a new and dangerous extreme, Ja'han Jones wrote for MSNBC's "ReidOut Blog."

Flynn, who was fired from Trump's administration and took a plea deal for lying to federal investigators about his ties to Russia before being pardoned by Trump, has since descended into extreme conspiracy theory circles, in particular forming close ties to the QAnon movement, which believes Trump must save America from Satanic child sex trafficking cannibals. He has previously suggested the U.S. should undergo a military coup like that in Myanmar.

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."

Donald Trump has not promised to certify the election results in the case he loses to Kamala Harris next month — which concerns election officials and experts.

Referring to the lawsuits, protests and insurrection that took place as a result of Trump's loss to President Joe Biden in 2020, Center for Election Innovation and Research executive director David Becker recently told The Washington Post, "This is not a hypothetical. This is not fearmongering. This is what happened in 2020 and since, on a widespread scale."

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.

Former President Donald Trump took to his social media account to rage about a spokesperson for Kamala Harris' campaign who has appeared on Fox networks.

"How much time does Ian Sams, Senior Advisor to Lyin’ Kamala Harris, spend on FoxNews?" Trump raged on TruthSocial. "He’s now on Cavuto, Fox’s Lowest Rated Show, by far, and spent much of the weekend hitting 'TRUMP,' totally unopposed, before two real 'beauties,' Eric Shawn and Arthel Neville – Not exactly the next Walter Cronkite of the Broadcasting World!"

Former Fox News personality Geraldo Rivera announced in a lengthy post to X on Monday that he is backing Vice President Kamala Harris in the 2024 election.

"With three weeks to go until Election Day, Donald J. Trump stands a reasonable chance of becoming the 47th President of the United States," wrote Rivera. "Despite assassination attempts, impeachments, special counsels, felony convictions and hundreds of millions in civil penalties, most polls show his race against V.P. Kamala Harris is too close to call."

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.

A Massachusetts town is cracking down on a resident’s projection of a Donald Trump political sign onto the town’s water tower, warning a cease-and-desist letter is in the works and a $100-a-day fine is possible “until the activity is discontinued.”

Lisa Green, town administrator in Hanson, Massachusetts, issued a statement over the weekend after the town “became aware that a resident was projecting the image of a political sign from their property onto the Town of Hanson municipal water tower,” according to a statement from Green as reported in the New York Post. The statement added that the town “does not endorse candidates for any office from any political party, nor does the Town allow political signs to be displayed on municipal property.”

If former President Donald Trump wins, his victory may be short-lived, retired American Enterprise Institute scholar Norm Ornstein speculated to Salon's Chauncey DeVega — because his running mate, Ohio Sen. J.D. Vance, could essentially give him the boot if it becomes clear his cognitive decline has become too severe to carry out the basic functions of office.

This is a consequence of the 25th Amendment, which provides a mechanism for the president's Cabinet to sideline him from duty if they deem the President cannot execute his duties.
