“The violent rhetoric is a feature, not a bug, of Trump’s campaigning style… [Trump] said migrants are ‘poisoning the blood of our country’ … That language…echoes language used in Nazi propaganda by Adolf Hitler.” Laura Barrón-López

“Calling Trump authoritarian is insufficient… Trump’s embrace of fascism is becoming increasingly overt, as he labels his opponents as ‘vermin,’ promises mass detention camps, and claims that immigrants are ‘poisoning the blood of our country.’” Robert Reich

“Why does Trump keep talking like a fascist? Because those tactics have been effective in getting people to want to give up democracy. It’s recognizing that this stuff isn’t just offensive — it works. And it’s not history — it’s now.”

“Trump has said if they can do it to me, they can do it to you. The average person is not inflating their wealth $2 billion, is not sexually assaulting women, is not storing classified documents in the toilet, is not fomenting insurrection.” Jessica Tarlov

#TrumpIsNotFitToBePresident

“Is Presidential Immunity really an open question? … This is B.S. … For [ #SupremeCourt ] to say that this is something that the Court needs to decide because it’s something that’s unclear in the law is just flagrant, flagrant bull-pucky.”

REPORTER: “Do you agree with your lawyers that you could not be prosecuted if you ordered Seal Team 6 to kill a political opponent?”

DONALD TRUMP: “A president has to have immunity.”

So… Trump believes that he can kill.

“Once we say ‘no criminal liability Mr. President, you can do whatever you want,’ I’m worried that we would have a worse problem than the problem of the President feeling constrained to follow the law while he’s in office.”
