Online Posts by Trump
Trump posted these to his personal social media accounts:
After a suspicious fire in the Reichstag building (like our Capitol building), Nazis blamed it on a Communist uprising. Hitler used the fire as an excuse to pass an emergency decree suspending their constitution, drastically increasing his power.
The courts, states, Republican House, Attorney General, DOJ, & Trump's own investigators found no evidence of widespread cheating or fraud.
Like Hitler & other Authoritarians, Trump is trying to use his "Big lie" to suspend our Constitution, the foundation of America, to drastically increase his power.
Our Founders made clear that upholding the Constitution is paramount.
No U.S. president has ever argued that they needed full immunity to do their job, except Trump.
Our country was founded on the bedrock principle that "no one is above the law," not even presidents.
We fought for our independence from Britian to escape being ruled by a king.
MSNBC is a cable channel & not broadcast over the airwaves.
Stations that broadcast over the air buy broadcast licenses & are not using FREE airwaves.
Criticizing Trump is not illegal or ELECTION INTERFERENCE, it is a 1st Amendment right, just as it is when Fox News criticizes Biden or Harris.
However, making up fake stories & broadcasting them can have consequences, like when Fox News had to pay Dominion Voting Systems $787.5 million in damages for knowingly airing false election-fraud claims.
Smartmatic also filed a lawsuit against Fox News for $2.7 billion for “engaging in a conspiracy to spread disinformation about Smartmatic."
Trump using our government to "come down hard on them" would not only violate their 'Freedom of Speech' & our Constitution, it would be an unprecedented abuse of power.
Similarly, Trump said the government should take away ABC's license for fact checking his 9/10/24 debate with Kamala Harris.
Trump plans to put the FCC under presidential control, which means he would be able to use the government to go after stations that say anything bad about him. This would likely prevent the media from exposing any corruption & could have a chilling effect on free speech.
Google is a private company that aggregates websites & lists them in their search results.
They are not to blame if websites publish 'bad' stories about Trump or 'good' stories about Harris. Google does not control what other sites write about either candidate. They simply provide links to the stories on their website.
Additionally, search engines are not regulated by the government, & there are no laws governing search results.
Trump threatening "prosecution, at the maximum levels" would not only violate their 'Freedom of Speech', it would be an unprecedented abuse of power.
Trump also threatened Mark Zuckerberg for showing negative posts about him on his social media platform, Facebook: “We are watching him closely, & if he does anything illegal this time he will spend the rest of his life in prison."
State & federal judges, many appointed by Trump himself, found no proof of election fraud or irregularities in more than 50 lawsuits brought by Trump & his allies.
These false claims not only undermine US elections, they give Trump ammunition to go after his political enemies & an excuse to dispute the next election if he loses.
