The politicization of the “Justice” Department under Donald Trump is accelerating as his poll numbers sink to new record lows. It’s clear that Trump is lashing out more furiously at his political foes as the risk of his losing power becomes more imminent and less possible for him to ignore.

Since his second occupation of the White House began, Trump has sought to prosecute members of Congress for reminding soldiers that they are legally obligated to disobey unlawful orders. He has had several critics indicted on phony charges of mortgage fraud. He is persecuting former FBI Director James Comey over some seashells that spelled out “8647.” In just the past week Trump’s legal inquisition has launched campaigns against Louise Lucas, a Democratic state representative who led the redistricting effort in Virginia, and a journalist who documented the dangerously erratic behavior of Trump’s FBI director, Kash Patel.

On Thursday morning Trump was busy conducting what he believes is his highest priority presidential duty: posting lies, self-exaltations, and offensive memes on his dedicated propaganda platform, Truth Social. Among his latest online outbursts was one wherein he called for the criminal prosecution of the Democratic Leader in the House of Representatives, Hakeem Jeffries. Trump posted his racist rage that Jeffries replied to in much more diplomatic – and sane – manner…

“This lunatic, Hakeem ‘Low IQ’ Jeffries, should be charged with INCITING VIOLENCE! The Radical Left Democrats actually want to Destroy our Country. President DJT”

Notice that Trump is trying to associate Jeffries’ remarks with the the shooting at the White House Correspondents’ Dinner last month. It isn’t the first time that Trump has tried to exploit that event for selfish reasons. But on this occasion he is going even farther off the edge by threatening criminal prosecution.

What’s worse is that Trump is misrepresenting what Jeffries said. The reference to “maximum warfare” was made by Jeffries in response to Trump urging his MAGA Republicans in Texas and elsewhere to conduct unprecedented mid-census redistricting in order to steal congressional seats from Democrats. It was not remotely related to violence. Jeffries said that…

“We are in an era of maximum warfare, everywhere, all the time. And we are going to keep the pressure on Republicans at every single state in the union, to ensure at the end of the day, that there is a fair, national map. Because we believe that it is the people who should decide who is in the majority in the next Congress. Not Donald Trump and MAGA extremists.”

However, Jeffries was not the author of that “maximum warfare” language. It was first used by a Trump White House staffer. Jeffries was deliberately throwing it back in the face of the Trump regime that frequently employs blatantly hostile rhetoric. It fact, much more so as revealed in study by Trump’s own Justice Department.

As reported by the New York Times in August 2025, “One person close to the president, who insisted on anonymity to describe the White House’s political strategy, candidly, summed it up succinctly: ‘Maximum warfare, everywhere, all the time.'” So Trump’s meme is blaming Jeffries for what his own staffer said. Should Democrats call for that staffer to be prosecuted?

In Trump’s defense, it’s possible that he has no idea where the phrase – or the meme quoting it – came from. He’s too mentally impaired to assume that he has that sort of comprehension. However, his minions surely know and they allow him to post these lies. Even though it affirms his aspirations of authoritarian control wherein he incarcerates anyone who is less than unflinchingly worshipful.

On the other hand, Trump posted another meme Thursday morning that is more along the lines of the psychoses he suffers from…

Trump is STILL OBSESSED with the Democrats that haunt his nightmares. So he posts a dishonest and offensive cartoon attacking Biden, Obama, and Clinton.Meanwhile, the American people continue to struggle to make ends meet, while Trump is the one sleeping on the job.
