all of media, left, right, and center, are all complicit for getting him elected, because they all sanewashed every nonsense comment.

This is not true

Apart from Fox, the media did actually warn about Trump 👇👇

Donald Trump has described at length the dangerous and disturbing actions he says he will take if he wins the presidency.

We have two words for American voters: Believe him.

Trump says he will use the Justice Department to punish people he doesn’t like. Believe him.

"Wouldn’t it be terrible to throw the president’s wife and the former secretary of state, think of it, the former secretary of state, but the president’s wife, into jail? Wouldn’t that be a terrible thing? But they want to do it. It’s a terrible, terrible path that they’re leading us to. And it’s very possible that it’s going to have to happen to them” Trump recently said.

As president, Mr. Trump repeatedly sought to use the power of government to punish his political opponents. He was open about trying to get other countries to do his bidding — his attempt to get Ukraine to investigate Joe Biden led to his first impeachment in 2019.

Behind the scenes, he was relentless in trying to get his attorneys general and the I.R.S. to investigate people he thought had wronged him, including Hillary Clinton, his former rival; John Kerry, a former secretary of state; his former F.B.I. director, James Comey; and Andrew McCabe, Mr. Comey’s deputy. None of these efforts led to any charges being filed, but if he is re-elected, Mr. Trump will continue trying to use the Justice Department to harass his enemies.

Trump says he will round up and deport millions of immigrants. Believe him.

“With your vote, we will seal the border, stop the invasion and launch the largest deportation effort in American history” Trump recently said.

Mr. Trump has repeatedly said that he would move quickly to deport millions of people who are living in the United States without legal permission. A key aide, Stephen Miller, said last year that militarized detention camps — “large-scale staging grounds” near the border. uch a campaign would tear apart families, disrupt communities and create a host of economic problems.

Trump says he will abandon U.S. allies. Believe him.

"No, I would not protect you. In fact, I would encourage them to do whatever the hell they want. You got to pay. You got to pay your bills.” Trump recently said.

As president, Mr. Trump instructed aides in 2018 to prepare to withdraw the United States from NATO, though he was dissuaded from following through, in part by promises from European nations to increase military spending.

While NATO was created in 1949 to bind Western democracies together and as a counterweight to the power of the Soviet Union and its allies, Mr. Trump shows no appreciation for either vital national interest.

Trump says he will deploy the American military against U.S. citizens. Believe him.

"I think the bigger problem is the enemy from within. Not even the people that have come in and destroying our country — by the way, totally destroying our country, the towns, the villages, they’re being inundated — but I don’t think they’re the problem in terms of Election Day. I think the bigger problem are the people from within. It should be very easily handled by, if necessary, by National Guard, or if really necessary, by the military, because they can’t let that happen.” Trump recently said.

In June 2020, Mr. Trump threatened to send active-duty military personnel into the streets of American cities to confront Black Lives Matter protesters. He wanted the soldiers to shoot them in the legs, according to his defense secretary, Mark Esper, who then took the unusual step of publicly rebuffing the president. Mr. Trump fired Mr. Esper, and the former president has made clear that if he is re-elected, he intends to pick officials who will do what he says.

Trump says he will punish blue states by withholding disaster relief. Believe him.

"We’re going to take care of our farmers. We’re going to take care of your water situation. And we’ll force it down his throat. And we’ll say: Gavin, if you don’t do it, we’re not giving you any of that fire money that we sent you all the time for all the forest fires that you have.” Trump recently said.

At a rally in the Coachella Valley in October, Mr. Trump suggested that he would withhold emergency aid for California after wildfires unless the state’s Democratic governor, Gavin Newsom, complied with his demands for changes in unrelated agricultural policies.

As president, Mr. Trump repeatedly sought to prevent the distribution of emergency aid to places run by Democrats. His administration delayed more than $20 billion in emergency aid for Puerto Rico after Hurricane Maria struck the island in 2017, but it expedited aid for the Florida Panhandle after Hurricane Michael struck the following year.

After wildfires swept California in 2018, the president initially declined to approve emergency aid. Mark Harvey, a senior official on his National Security Council, told Politico that the funding was approved only after aides presented Mr. Trump with data showing that there were more Trump supporters in Orange County, Calif., than in the entire state of Iowa
