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”.

      I know about the boogeyman. Not even Americans are going to sit down and watch this happen.

        I can’t tell you how many times I’ve heard “Americans won’t let that happen” and then it happens.

          These idiots are not going to magically be in the majority over night. How many tough guys write manifestos like that every day? Sorry I’m not scared by some big words by Charlie Kirk.

        We have let every step leading up to our current stage happen without meaningful challenge. Why would this momentum stop now?

            Project 2025 is a plan already set in motion. It started when i was a child, and there really has been no real blow against its success.The setback of trump losing the election has not stopped the momentum. You can tell because the loss of rights is happening under the democrats watch. If you response is “well they really could not have stopped it” then the plan is working as intended

              No, my response is, democrats act on a 20-year-plan by Charlie Kirk, really? Or is it possible the causation you see is merely a correlation? “The loss of rights” seems awfully vague to me. What policies did democrats specifically implement that go back to that manifesto?

                Um project 2025 is a right wing plan to institute conservatives values that increase the influence of white christian values in politics, lowering taxes for wealthy donors, deregulating corporations, and equate money with political power as they lose the popular vote. Not sure why you are referencing the democrats.

                  Um, you brought up democrats when you said a democrat being president didn’t stop its momentum and “the loss of rights is happening under democrats watch”.

                    Well yes, there is a plan in place by republicans that has not been stopped. The fall out of which could not even have been stopped after Biden became president.
