During his occupation of the White House, Donald repeatedly demonstrated his ignorance of, and disrespect for, the Constitution of the United States. He pursued an agenda that was most closely associated with fascism and other oppressive models of government. He expected unflinching loyalty to him personally, rather to the Constitution or the nation.<\/p>\n

Trump’s biggest heroes are dictators such as Kim Jong Un, Xi Jinping, and his puppet master, Vladimir Putin. He excused their offenses against free nations and he sought to emulate them. He spoke of having “fallen in love”<\/em> with Kim Jong Un and he openly stated that he believed Putin over American intelligence agencies.<\/p>\n

On Thursday Trump responded to a report<\/a><\/strong> regarding the leaked draft of the the Supreme Court’s decision on Roe v Wade. The investigation was unable to identity the leaker who provided the press with a draft of the opinion. That news triggered Trump to post a comment<\/a> on his floundering Twitter ripoff, Truth Social<\/a><\/strong>, saying that…<\/p>\n

“The Supreme Court has just announced it is not able to find out, even with the help of our \u201ccrack\u201d FBI, who the leaker was on the R v Wade scandal. They\u2019ll never find out, & it\u2019s important that they do. So, go to the reporter & ask him\/her who it was. If not given the answer, put whoever in jail until the answer is given. You might add the publisher and editor to the list. Stop playing games, this leaking cannot be allowed to happen. It won\u2019t take long before the name of this slime is revealed!”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

And just in case anyone was unsure about his position, Trump followed that up with another post<\/a><\/strong> that said…<\/p>\n

“Arrest the reporter, publisher, editor – you\u2019ll get your answer fast. Stop playing games and wasting time!”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

These remarks are typical of Trump’s tendency toward tyranny. They reveal his seething hatred for the Constitution and the freedom that it mandates for the press.<\/p>\n

For the record, it is not illegal to leak drafts of Supreme Court opinions to the press, so long as the leaker didn’t gain access to the documents unlawfully, such as hacking into a private computer. But Trump isn’t talking here about arresting the leaker. He’s demanding that the reporters, editors, and publishers of the documents be arrested to coerce them to reveal their source. According to PolitiFact<\/a><\/strong>…<\/p>\n

“No federal law clearly prohibits someone with legal access to a draft Supreme Court opinion, such as a justice or clerk, from leaking that document to the press, legal experts said. A draft opinion is not classified, which is usually the grounds for leak investigations.”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

The journalists involved in this not only did not violate any law, but they are protected by the Constitution and a couple hundred years of subsequent affirming decisions by the Supreme Court. Nevertheless, Trump would have them incarcerated until they talk. That is the sort of tactic that would be exercised by Trump’s totalitarian mentors. It is blatantly illegal, grossly offensive, and wholly un-American.<\/p>\n

These comments are further evidence that Trump is unfit to serve in any capacity in a free democracy. And any voter or Republican politician who would support Trump’s future electoral aspirations is embracing his treasonous anti-Americanism and his utter lack of patriotic principles.<\/p>\n
