Time magazine called the ex-president’s plans ‘an imperial presidency that would reshape America and its role in the world’

Donald Trump has warned that Joe Biden and his family could face multiple criminal prosecutions once he leaves office unless the US supreme court awards Trump immunity in his own legal battles with the criminal justice system.

In a sweeping interview with Time magazine, Trump painted a startling picture of his second term, from how he would wield the justice department to hinting he may let states monitor pregnant women to enforce abortion laws.

Trump made the threat against the Biden family in an interview with Eric Cortellessa of Time, in which he shared the outlines of what the magazine called “an imperial presidency that would reshape America and its role in the world”.

    The point is that the whole “Americans aren’t just going to let this happen” thing is not accurate. We are letting it happen because their plan is not reliant on the out come off any one election. And are still shifting right

      The entire world is shifting right, it’s what happens in less economically stable times. Granted, Americans may actually sit by, watching their country slip into even more authoritarianism but I think you’re putting way too much weight on this stupid manifesto.

        I mean it spells out what they are doing, how they are doing it, and the consequences of their success. And so far its wildly successful. Its not some secret, its a total admission of their goals. Is no reason to not take them at their word in this regard.

          I can write a manifesto that says “when I’m king I will make the sun rise in the morning and make it go down in the evening”. That doesn’t mean I’m responsible for that.

          You successfully dragged me into an argument over something that was never my point and I will respectfully end it now.
