Our most recent book is titled Divided We Stand: The 2020 Elections and American Politics. Our next book looks at the return of Donald Trump.
He is planning an authoritarian agenda and would take care to eliminate any internal dissent.
Tommy Christopher at Mediaite:
Trump sat for an exclusive interview that aired on Sunday morning’s edition of NBC’s Meet the Press, during which Trump lashed out at the members of the committee that investigated the January 6 riot and the circumstances surrounding it. Trump has nominated staunch loyalists Pam Bondi and Kash Patel to lead the Department of Justice and the FBI, respectively.
After Trump repeatedly said they should “all go to jail,” Welker asked him “Are you going to direct” his Justice Department to move against his opponents, and even as he denied he would Trump said “they’ll have to” look into it:
KRISTEN WELKER: We’re going to —
PRES.-ELECT DONALD TRUMP: For what they did –
KRISTEN WELKER: Yeah –
PRES.-ELECT DONALD TRUMP: – honestly, they should go to jail.
KRISTEN WELKER: So you think Liz Cheney should go to jail?
PRES.-ELECT DONALD TRUMP: For what they did –
KRISTEN WELKER: Everyone on the committee you think –
PRES.-ELECT DONALD TRUMP: I think everybody –
KRISTEN WELKER: – should go to jail?
PRES.-ELECT DONALD TRUMP: – on the — anybody that voted in favor –
KRISTEN WELKER: Are you going to direct your FBI director –
PRES.-ELECT DONALD TRUMP: No.
KRISTEN WELKER: – and your attorney general to send them to jail?
PRES.-ELECT DONALD TRUMP: No, not at all. I think that they’ll have to look at that, but I’m not going to — I’m going to focus on drill, baby, drill.
