Trump News

Fox News contributor Kayleigh McEnany took a shot at Donald Trump's supporters on Wednesday by suggesting white nationalists should be banned from higher education.

The former White House press secretary made the remarks during a discussion on Fox News about anti-Semitism on college campuses. McEnany pointed to Harvard University President Dr. Claudine Gay's testimony before Congress.

Court filings from prosecutors this week show Donald Trump has continued to target two Black election workers — even after they endured threats from his supporters — accusing them of being among the "monsters" who had stolen the 2020 election, Newsweek reported.

Ruby Freeman and Wandrea "Shaye" Moss, who are mother and daughter, were falsely accused by Trump and his allies of bringing in suitcases of ballots to an Atlanta voting center to ensure Joe Biden's win. Former Trump lawyer Rudy Giuliani has been found liable of defaming the pair by making the comments.

Fake electors in Wisconsin have finally agreed that Donald Trump lost the 2020 election, according to the Washington Post.

In a civil settlement Wednesday, 10 Republicans who signed paperwork falsely saying Trump had won Wisconsin revoked their challenge and promised not to commit any action like it again.

Right-wing MAGA podcaster Steve Bannon lashed out at Fox News host Sean Hannity after he asked former President Donald Trump if he would be a "dictator" if re-elected.

The question came during a Tuesday town hall on Fox News.

Former President Donald Trump's failure to give a straight answer to Sean Hannity on whether he would govern as an autocrat at the Fox News town hall in Iowa was an astonishing moment, said analyst Van Jones on CNN Wednesday morning — and a failure of the simplest test for an American politician imaginable.

Widespread reporting has detailed claims that Trump and his allies plan to use a second term to reshape the government in his image, create a loyalty cult out of the civil service, and send the Justice Department after Trump's political enemies.

There's been a deluge of reporting in recent weeks detailing how Donald Trump plans to end the rule of law if he's elected back to office. And, according to Salon's Amanda Marcotte, the media is learning about Trump's plans to "dismantle democracy" straight from the man himself.

"Much of this information comes straight from Trump's mouth on the campaign trail, where he directly channels Mussolini and Hitler by promising to "root out" the "vermin" who vote against him, while also valorizing the insurrectionists of January 6," Marcotte writes.

Former Rep. Liz Cheney (R-WY) continued her media blitz this week by speaking to MSNBC host Nicolle Wallace, a previous White House aide from George W. Bush's administration. Wallace has since abandoned the Republican Party — blaming Donald Trump.

Liz Cheney's book "Oath and Honor" was released Tuesday and exposes some former colleagues as knowing full well that there was no election fraud in 2020 and that Trump lost. Others are shown by Cheney to have been too scared of Donald Trump to stand up for themselves.

Former President Donald Trump didn't directly answer Sean Hannity's interview question about whether he would act as a dictator and punish his political enemies if given a second term, just saying that he would do some dictatorial things on "day one" and then not after that. But according to Rep. Tim Burchett (R-TN), you shouldn't take any of that seriously.

Burchett's comments, to CNN's Phil Mattingly on Wednesday morning, came amid a broader discussion about Trump's second-term plans, which have set off alarm bells with political experts as he and his allies strategize how to transform the civil service into a personal army and turn the Justice Department against political rivals.

Could a second Donald Trump presidency slide into dictatorship? A sudden spate of dystopian warnings has got America talking about the possibility less than a year before the US elections.

Dark scenarios about what could happen if the twice-impeached Republican former president wins in 2024 have appeared in the space of a few days in major US media outlets that include The Washington Post, The New York Times and the Atlantic.
