‘OPENLY AUTHORITARIAN’ – Media Panic Intensifies As Trump 2nd Term Looks Likely.

Left-wing media is panicking at the prospect of Donald Trump winning the 2024 presidential election because the former President intends to curb the power of federal agencies such as the Department of Justice (DOJ) and the Federal Bureau of Investigations (FBI) as well as launch investigations into the Biden family‘s dubious financial affairs.

A report published in the Guardian has raised the possibility of Trump’s second term being “openly authoritarian” and a throwback to either 1970s Latin America or 1930s Europe – a comparison used both before Trump was elected in 2016 and throughout his first presidential term.

“I’m hard pressed to find any candidates anywhere who are so open that they would use the power of the state to go after critics and enemies,” argues Harvard professor Steven Levitsky, who, however, fails to comment on the 91 indictments filed against the former President.

“This is one of the most openly authoritarian campaigns I’ve ever seen,” he adds.

The report is similarly spooked by the prospect of “Project 2025,” which aims to replace federal employees inside agencies like the FBI and DOJ and branches of government such as the Department of Homeland Security and Education with conservative-minded individuals.

It is suggested even former DOJ officials are “appalled” by the project. Donald Ayer, a former U.S. Deputy Attorney General, says, “Project 2025 seems to be full of a whole array of ideas that are designed to let Donald Trump function as a dictator, by completely eviscerating many of the restraints built into our system.”

Others are concerned that Trump would pardon January 6 protestors like Jacob Chansley, who was released early from federal prison after it was shown by Tucker Carlson that he was escorted into the U.S. Capitol by police officers. Trump is “promising them pardons for the insurrection. This is about giving power to an autocrat and letting his id take over,” asserts Columbia University researcher and CNN historian Timothy Naftali.

The 45th President is storming ahead of incumbent President Joe Biden in the polls less than 12 months before the 2024 presidential election. Trump is currently on course to receive over 300 Electoral College votes, way above the required 270 to become President.

Trump To Visit Javier Milei In Argentina.

Former President Donald Trump will visit Argentina’s newly-elected libertarian populist President Javier Milei in Buenos Aires following a conversation between the two, the latter’s press team has announced. The dates of the visit are, however, yet to be made public.

The 45th President publicly congratulated Milei for his success in the Argentinian elections earlier this week despite initially being considered an outsider and wildcard candidate.

Trump told him, “A very congratulations to Javier Milei on a great race for President of Argentina. The whole world was watching, and I am very proud of you. You will turn your country around and truly make Argentina great again: Congratulations.”

In response, Milei thanked the former President on X (formerly Twitter) on Wednesday evening and suggested Trump’s presidency was an example for all of us who defend the ideas of freedom and I hope to meet him soon… LONG LIVE F*CKING FREEDOM.”

Trump Blasts Biden, New York AG, Judge, Marxists, RINOs, & More in Thanksgiving Message.

Donald Trump has given Joe Biden, New York Attorney General Letitia James, Judge Engoron, and a host of other colorful characters both barrels in a Thanksgiving message shared to Truth Social.

“Happy Thanksgiving to ALL, including the Racist & Incompetent Attorney General of New York State, Letitia ‘Peekaboo’ James, who has let Murder & Violent Crime FLOURISH, & Businesses FLEE,” wrote the former president in reference to the Democrat AG, who is currently pursuing civil fraud charges against his business empire.

Arthur Engoron, the Democrat donor judge overseeing the case, also came in for criticism, with Trump slamming him as “Radical Left” and a “Psycho” and accusing him of “criminally” defrauding both himself and New York by, among other things, appearing to grossly undervalue his Mar-a-Lago estate in order to rule against him. Trump also took aim at Enogoron’s law clerk and “co-judge” Allison Greenfield, a Democrat activist who has attended events endorsing AG James, alleging she “sit[s] by his side on the ‘Bench’ & tells him what to do”.

Finally, he fired a lengthy broadside at “Crooked Joe Biden,” his “Department of Injustice,” and “all of the other Radical Left Lunatics, Communists, Fascists, Marxists, Democrats, & RINOS, who are seriously looking to DESTROY OUR COUNTRY.”

“Have no fear, however, we will WIN the Presidential Election of 2024, & MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN!!!”

DATA: RFK’s Presidential Bid Hurts Trump More Than Biden.

Robert F. Kennedy, Jr.’s independent presidential candidacy continues to pose a potential threat for former President Donald Trump’s 2024 bid to reclaim the White House. A new HarrisX overnight poll shows Trump defeating President Joe Biden 53 to 47 percent in a head-to-head 2024 election. However, when third-party candidates are added, potential pitfalls for the Trump campaign appear.

The poll indicates Kennedy may be drawing upwards of 10 points of support from former President Trump, while pulling six points from Biden. Trump is only able to maintain his lead over Biden because a potential third-party bid by radical Harvard professor Cornel West pulls an additional 4 points of support from the Democrat President. Absent West’s candidacy, Trump would likely only lead Biden by 2 points in a three-way race – within the margin of error.

Republicans have, for some time, been raising the alarm over the impact Kennedy could have on the 2024 presidential race. Donald Trump, Jr. has warned Kennedy’s candidacy is specifically designed to hurt his father’s chances of victory against Biden, stating in October: “It legitimately always felt like it was a Democrat plant to hurt the Trump thing… He wouldn’t be there if the Democrats didn’t want him.” FEC data shows Kennedy, Jr. is pulling in three-times as many Trump donors as Biden donors.

In an interview last week, The National Pulse’s own Raheem Kassam warned conservative supporters of Kennedy they are being duped: “Obviously, if you look at RFK’s track record he’s incredibly left-wing. He’s not just left-wing, but he’s supported both far-left progressive philosophy while also backing globalist left, establishment left politicians almost his entire life.”

Despite former President Trump leading Biden in five of six battleground states and only trailing by 10 points in far-left New York state, the possibility that Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. appearing on the ballot in critical swing states continues to be a top concern for Republicans.

Iowa ‘Faith CEO’ Bob Vander Plaats Endorses DeSantis After Taking $95K From Him.

Bob Vander Plaats, who heads The Family Leader organization encompassing Marriage Matters, Iowa Family PAC, and Iowans for Freedom in the Hawkeye State, has endorsed Florida Governor Ron DeSantis shortly after accepting nearly $100,000 from his team.

Discussing his endorsement of DeSantis with Brett Baier, the Iowa Republican was confronted with the Donald Trump campaign’s statement on the matter:

“Over 150 faith leaders in Iowa are organizing their congregations for President Trump and not a single one demanded nearly $100k like Bob Vander Plaat$ did from Ron DeSanctus. When you are actually the leader of a movement like President Trump is, people are willing to support you for free.”

This follows an investigation by Reuters in August revealing “[t]he DeSantis campaign, a super PAC linked to him and a nonprofit group supporting him together paid $95,000 in recent months to [Plaats’s] Family Leader Foundation” – a financial entanglement Plaats described as “definitely true” but “above board” in his discussion with Baier.

Similar claims have been made of the transfer of $21 million to the Friends of Ron DeSantis PAC, which eventually ended up in the hands of Jeff Roe’s Never Back Down PAC, from the Republican Governornor’s Association (RGA).

The RGA is headed by Iowa Governor Kim Reynolds, who recently endorsed DeSantis despite claiming she would remain neutral and urging other Iowa Republicans to follow suit. Vander Plaats is also close with Reynolds, who he tried to push to run for president, while trashing Trump in an interview from 2021.

On the primary contest generally, Plaats – himself a thrice-failed candidate for Governor of Iowa – was quizzed by Baier on the fact he previously endorsed Mike Huckabee, Rick Santorum, and Ted Cruz, and they all lost.

Plaats admitted, “if President Trump wins Iowa, it’s going to be awfully hard to make the case that you can beat President Trump.”

Polls indicate Trump is currently leading DeSantis by a decisive 27 points, while the Floridian tied with Nikki Haley on 17 percent.

Infighting Breaks Out in Team DeSantis as Witnesses Describe Fractious Board Meeting & New Spin Off PAC.

Senior staff with the pro-Ron DeSantis campaign Never Back Down SuperPAC nearly came to blows as frustration within the organization mounts over their close competition with Nikki Haley for second place in the Republican presidential primary contest. Senior strategist Jeff Roe reportedly got into an altercation with Scott Wagner – a friend and confidant of Governor DeSantis – while board members present discussed the super PAC’s finances and strategy for putting distance between their candidate and the insurgent Haley campaign.

“You have a stick up your ass, Scott,” Roe is alleged to have shouted at Wagner, according to witnesses in the room, to which Wagner fired back, taunting, “Why don’t you come over here and get it?” Wagner also reportedly rose from his chair and had to be restrained by other board members.

The blow-up between Wagner and Roe is just the latest internal conflict for a super PAC and presidential campaign that have spent almost as much time searching for a scapegoat for their candidate’s lack of appeal as they have actually campaigning. Three consultants close with Ron and Casey DeSantis recently formed a new pro-DeSantis super PAC called Fight Right Inc, ostensibly competing for the same donors which fund Never Back Down.

For the DeSantis campaign’s part, they appear to hope the new super PAC will give a boost to the governor’s branding after attack ads run against Nikki Haley by Never Back Down backfired in Iowa, leaving some in the campaign to believe they actually hurt DeSantis in the end.

Last month, Roe and Never Back Down suffered public embarrassment after an arbitrary 60-day deadline set by Roe to defeat Donald Trump expired without any ground gained. Former President Donald Trump continues to run away with the Republican nomination with a near insurmountable lead over the rest of the field according to polling.

WILD: MSNBC’s Morning Joe Says Trump Will EXECUTE His Enemies in 2nd Term.

MSNBC host Joe Scarborough told his audience on Tuesday that Donald J. Trump will “execute” and “imprison” and “drive from the country” those he deems as his enemies during a second presidential term.

Ranting alongside co-host Mika Brzezinski on his Morning Joe program, Scarborough said: “He’s not a normal candidate, he is running to end American democracy as we know it… If you want to be fair, then you will frame this as Joe Biden being the candidate that supports American democracy, and Donald Trump, a candidate who supports a new form of government here, this authoritarian here.”

While inviting anti-white, anti-Semitic racist Al Sharpton to comment, the MSNBC host went on to complain about people saying you “can’t compare” the 45th President to a “past Nazi leader”, insisting only “the American judicial system” stopped Trump from going as far as the 20th-century dictators.

“Just because he hasn’t done it yet doesn’t mean he won’t do it when he gets a chance to do it, and if he is voted into office… he will imprison, he will execute, whoever he’s allowed to imprison, execute, uh, uh, uh, uh, drive from the country,” Scarborough rambled.” Just look at his past. It’s not really hard to read!”

Scarborough and Brzezinski were once great friends of Trump, and even called him on the day of the 2016 election – anticipating he would lose – and told him they “hope[d] we’ll be friends after this.”

Trump himself said they were still trying to ingratiate themselves shortly after his victory, describing how “low I.Q. Crazy Mika, along with Psycho Joe, came… to Mar-a-Lago 3 nights in a row around New Year’s Eve, and insisted on joining me.”

“She was bleeding badly from a face-lift,” Trump recalled. “I said no!”

AUDIO: DeSantis Influencer Says J6 Prisoners ‘Will Do Time’ Under Ron… ‘It Will Be Fun to Watch’.

A leading online booster for Florida Governor Ron DeSantis has said that January 6 protestors will go to prison if DeSantis manages to make it to the White House, wildly concluding: “It will be fun to watch.”

Chris Nelson, a blogger, DJ, and avid fan of the Florida Governor spouted his fantasies in an X (formerly Twitter) Spaces meeting with other DeSantis loyalists, entitled: “Never (Again) Trump. Change…”

Nelson explained: “To everybody that wants the January 6 stuff worked out, you can have these idiots in Congress release every single footage, from every single room, and what happened… and they’re trying to say ‘oh! look at that I saw a little flash, it’s an FBI badge there,’ ok please: alright, when DeSantis gets in, that’s gonna be something that gets resolved.”

“When DeSantis gets in, that’s going to be something that gets resolved,” Nelson continues, claiming the Florida Governor will “look through all the cases, issue pardons, commutations where necessary. People will do time for what they did – [if] they broke a window, it’ll probably be time served,” Nelson continued.

He goes on to discuss firing the FBI director and hiring “good personnel” before concluding with “It’s just going to be exciting… it’s going to be fun to watch.”

Nelson’s wishes are, however, unlikely to be realized as DeSantis’ 2024 presidential campaign continues its downfall. Only last week, the Florida Governor polled in fifth place behind former President Donald Trump, Nikki Haley, Vivek Ramaswamy, and even Chris Christie in New Hampshire.

Notably, Nelson’s ex-wife filed a restraining order against him in 2017, accusing him of domestic battery. Nelson has previously accosted Trump supporters such as Steve Bannon and Kari Lake in person, and celebrated the indictments of Donald Trump. In exchange, he has been granted privileged access to DeSantis events, and is regularly boosted online by officials from Team DeSantis and his PAC.

NOTE: An original tweet embedded on this story truncated Nelson’s audio from the X Space. We have included a fuller version below.

Engoron-Linked Congressman Calls for Trump ‘To Be Eliminated’.

Representative Daniel Goldman – a Democrat from New York linked to Judge Engoron and his partisan staffer Allison Greenfield – is attempting to clarify controversial comments he made during a television interview with MSNBC’s Jen Psaki on Sunday. During the interview Goldman demanded that former President Donald Trump “has to be eliminated”. The statement was immediately interpreted by supporters of the former President as an encouragement for political violence against Trump and his allies.

On Monday, the congressman expressed regret for his words: “Yesterday on TV, I mistakenly used the wrong word to express the importance for America that Donald Trump doesn’t become President again. While he must be defeated, I certainly wish no harm to him and do not condone political violence.”

“Sometimes they slip and say the quiet part out loud,” conservative radio host Mike Gallagher posted on X (formerly Twitter). Alex Bruesewitz, a Trump campaign surrogate, urged House Speaker Mike Johnson to censure Goldman for his comments.

“Democrats have been calling for violence against President Trump and his supporters since 2016,” Trump campaign spokesperson Steven Cheung said.

This weekend, The National Pulse revealed how Dan Goldman is a fan of Allison Greenfield, the co-judge in the New York case against Donald Trump, liking Instagram posts from the anti-Trump Grand Street Democrats event she attended last year. Goldman also happens to be the lead counsel in the first Trump impeachment.
