Trump defends ICE raids, declares ‘they haven’t gone far enough’ in first ‘60 Minutes’ interview since suing CBS

His fascism knows no bottom.

Trump is incapable of self reflection and thinks apologizing makes you weak. He is going to double down no matter what.

I’ve never wished a man dead, but I’ve read some obituaries with great satisfaction. So sad what our country has become with this administration. Embarrassing

How to make Nazis look less genocidal with this one easy trick…

This administration will go down as the most inhumane and cruel in US modern history. They want the ppl to fight back so they can have a total police state. Folks chaos is what they want!

Send them to Florida and check the help at his “club” using the same tactics

Are we going to see the full unedited version?

It was so easy to avoid this shit and america still failed

MAGA is demanding to know why the millions protesting against Trump are calling him “king.”

Well, here’s a list of “grievances” if you will:

– The Trump family has monetized the presidency to the tune of billions; exploiting Trump’s political power to secure cryptocurrency investments, business and real estate deals overseas, financial and political contributions from wealthy figures, corporations and foreign governments looking to literally purchase favors, influence and access to the president.

– Trump has turned the presidency into a moneymaking scheme. His many conflicts of interest have raised ethical and legal red flags. The Trump family and administration are engaging in massive insider enrichment and the government’s kleptocratic policies resemble how authoritarian regimes centralize economic power to line the pockets of a small number of political and wealthy elites while most citizens suffer economic hardship.

– Trump’s transformation into a dictator can be seen in the juxtaposition between visuals of the hideously gilded Oval Office, Trump’s tastelessly decorated “ballroom” and descriptions of detainment centers which depict such horrid conditions that they resemble concentration camps.

– The Trump regime is plagued by rampant cronyism, corruption and favoritism. Loyalty is a priority in Trump’s circle and plays a major role in securing power and influence within his administration. Trump has issued pardons to his corrupt lackeys and co-conspirators; signaling to his political allies that they can commit crimes with impunity.

– Obstruction of justice is a privilege for Donald Trump. His party has helped him repeatedly escape accountability by subverting the court system, establishing blanket immunities for the president, by dismantling oversight and creating a unitary executive beholden to no one.

– Trump has stated that he is above the law; posting comments like, “He who saves his country does not violate any law,” insinuating that he is entitled to act outside all laws and regulations whenever he sees fit.

– Trump has taken control over independent agencies and has transformed the DOJ into his own personal legal arm. He is exploiting the power of the justice department to target and prosecute his political opponents without evidence.

– Trump is abusing his executive powers to normalize punishing those who have exposed his criminality and corruption in the past. He is weaponizing every agency and power of the federal government to seek retribution against his critics, his opponents, and anyone who has ever tried to hold him accountable. He has also ordered the DOJ to fire US attorneys and prosecutors who do not toe the line; consolidating investigative power under his administration.

– Trump has appointed loyalists into director positions within agencies like the FCC where they carry out his authoritarian whims against his critics in the media; applying regulatory pressures on companies to silence those who criticize him and/or his policies.

– The Trump admin has flagged “unpatriotic” and ideologically “diverse” content for removal from federal property.

– The government is violating free speech, defunding independent journalism, suppressing the arts and intellectual, whitewashing history, stifling the press, and amassing control over how and what information is being shared to the public.

– Trump has been abusing his powers to declare needless “emergencies” and to enact record breaking numbers of executive orders—many of them unconstitutional.

– He is employing these unlawful tactics to carry out excessive national security measures and to wage war on the American people. He is threatening to invoke the Insurrection Act while federalizing local police and the military to centralize authoritarian control over US cities. He is also deploying these troops without consent from the states. These measures are not intended to “reduce crime” or drive back some imaginary “rebellion,” but to crackdown on protestors and dissent, to suspend civil liberties and to terrorize the public.

– Interventionism and expansionism are justified when it suits Trump’s political goals or narratives. He is carrying out extrajudicial killings and war crimes; threatening our allies; currying favor with foreign dictators; instigating trade wars; unilaterally intervening in foreign affairs.

– The Trump admin’s “law and order” rhetoric is inciting hostilities towards immigrants, marginalized groups and minorities. To Trump and his allies, “law and order” means punishing your enemies.

– This obsession with crime and punishment is reflected in Trump’s militarization of domestic policy, in his admin’s disregard for people’s constitutional rights, in Trump’s attacks and threats aimed at judges and law firms, in his unjustified prosecutions of his political opponents, in his weaponization of the DOJ, and in his deputizing of masked ICE agents.

– Trump has been deploying armies of hostile and unrestrained ICE agents around the country who are concealing their identities and violently arresting, detaining and deporting thousands of people without due process. They are terrorizing citizens, throwing people into unmarked vehicles, acting as law enforcement, profiling their targets, and suppressing civil rights and liberties.

– Trump has been violating the constitution, flouting the law, defying court orders, bypassing checks and balances, abusing impoundment procedures, overstepping congressional authority, and defiling democratic norms.

– He is undermining the constitution by seeking to end birthright citizenship and the two term presidential limit. He has also repeatedly violated constitutional principles and clauses, expressly those contained within the first, fourth, fifth, sixth, and fourteenth amendments, not excluding the separation of powers and the citizenship clause.

– The MAGA coalition is concentrating power into the hands of the president who is issuing autocratic decrees while disregarding legislative and judicial oversight; interpreting laws however the president and his attorney general see fit; defunding and cancelling programs enacted into law; raising taxes without approval; instituting unilateral and illegal tariffs; withholding congressionally appropriated funds; undermining checks and balances.

– Trump is abusing his power to strong-arm universities; demanding that they hand control over academic decision making to the government.

– He is making excessive demands of these private institutions and cracking down on student protestors while requiring that they be vetted and reported on and that universities teach government approved viewpoints.

– Trump’s actions, rhetoric and imagery resembles that of a monarch. He is a self-styled king. From his gilded decor and his immodest “renovations” of the White House, to his taxpayer funded vanity projects designed to pay tribute to him. From the many “gifts” that his rich benefactors have bestowed on him in exchange for political favors, to his messages online that include literal images of him wearing a crown and referring to himself as “KING.” Even official White House accounts amplify these posts and images.

– Lastly, Donald Trump facilitated an insurrection at our Capital in order to overturn the results of a free and fair election. Trump and his MAGA allies are consolidating power at an alarming rate and have been exploiting their voter’s confidence in Trump’s lies to suppress the vote, and to deny and subvert elections under the deceitful guise of combatting election fraud.

He probably wants them to start shooting people in the street

Why are they even interviewing this man who sued them? Are they gluttons for punishment?

$100 says he’ll say the Russia/Ukraine war is Biden’s war.

He absolutely instructed the DOJ to go after Comey, James & Bolton.

I saw a video today of them “not going far enough” made me hope I never witness them in person because I would end up dead eventually. I could not watch the bullying. 10 guys taking a woman with a work permit from her 4 kids?

Dammit Norah.

You should have fucking called him out on his repeated lie that Venezuela and other countries emptied out their prisons & mental institutions.

Why is he on 60 Minutes?

I’ll settle for him being removed from power like a gangrenous limb from a body.

Boycott cbs.. they bent the knee. They are no longer reputable.
