The Trump Presidency 13: The (James) Baker's Dozen

This should probably go in the "dangerous mental illness" thread, but Trump is fantasizing about his "tough people" getting "tough" with his opponents.

Trump issues warning to opponents: ‘It would be very bad’ if his military, police and biker supporters got ‘tough’

Toronto Star said:
U.S. President Donald Trump has warned his political opponents of the possibility that they could eventually be confronted by armed Trump supporters in and out of uniform, telling a right-wing website on Monday that “it would be very bad, very bad” if his backers in the military, police and a motorcycle group were provoked into getting “tough.”

Trump uttered the remark in an interview with Breitbart News, a right-wing website that supports him. It came, according to Breitbart, as Trump was arguing that “the left” plays politics in a “tougher” and more “vicious” manner than the pro-Trump right even though “the tough people” are on Trump’s side.

Another little loss for Trump:

From: https://www.usatoday.com/story/news...os-defamation-case-ny-court-rules/3162078002/
President Donald Trump cannot dismiss the defamation lawsuit filed against him by Summer Zervos, a former contestant on his "Apprentice" reality show who accuse him of sexual groping, a New York appeals court ruled Thursday. U.S. presidents may not claim constitutional protection to gain temporary immunity from private lawsuits over alleged misconduct, the Appellate Division of the New York Supreme Court said.

Granted, compared to everything else Trump has done or is being investigated for, this is a pretty minor issue. Its not going to result in impeachment if she wins, and probably won't even result in a loss of support. And there's a good chance that she could lose (either the lawsuit itself, or an appeal for this ruling.) But, I figure its got to be an irritation and a distraction for Trump, and the idea of him being stuck in a New York courtroom (instead of playing golf) fills me with a feeling of happiness.

Definitely belongs in the mental illness thread as well as here.

It's classic Facism, pure and simple.

In reality, he would be reduced to his bikers; the military would refuse to take sides in a domestic political fight and I think the same would happen for most of the police.

I find it increasingly hard to believe anything going on in the political sphere, but if this is right he seems to be threatening people with The Hell's Angels or similar. Is it even conceivably true he said that?
 
I find it increasingly hard to believe we have an American president who does interviews with Breitbart. From the link-

But since this is the same man who sat down for an interview with Infowars' Alex Jones in 2015 I guess I shouldn't be surprised:
"Your reputation is amazing. I will not let you down," Trump told Alex Jones during a Wednesday afternoon appearance on the Infowars.com proprietor's show. Link

Given he has the mentality of a 16 year old male when it comes to an obsession with being "tough",and his fascination with political violence,and his great love of dictators, I would say it's exactly something he would say.

Trump Tells Breitbart Things Will Get ‘Very Bad’ if His Supporters in Military, Police and Biker Clubs Play ‘Tough’

Mediaite said:
In an interview with Breitbart News Wednesday, President Donald Trump threatened things will get “very bad” if his supporters in the military, police, and motorcycle clubs decide to start playing “tough.”

“You know, the left plays a tougher game, it’s very funny,” Trump said. “I actually think that the people on the right are tougher, but they don’t play it tougher.”

“I can tell you I have the support of the police, the support of the military, the support of the Bikers for Trump,” he continued. “I have the tough people, but they don’t play it tough — until they go to a certain point, and then it would be very bad, very bad.”

(And this isn't the first time.)
...
In the past, Trump has made similar comments while commenting on the activism of anti-fascist protesters. While speaking at a Missouri campaign rally in the 2018 election, Trump said his supporters are “tough people” in “law enforcement, military, construction.”

“These are tough people,” he added. “But they’re peaceful people, and antifa and all — they’d better hope they stay that way.”

Trump says that like there's precedent. (Is he perhaps referring to that Nazi driving into the crowd at Charlottesville?) Followed by "very bad" twice - what a vocabulary he has, a very good vocabulary, very good, all the best words. He just doesn't like to wear them out.
 
I wonder if the Biker gangs are among those who Trump is considering as part of his Volunteer Border Security Force .
Someone should tell him about what happened when Mick Jagger decided to use the Hell's Angles as security at Altamont.........

There's already a whole bunch of gun-totin' trigger-happy rednecks voluntarily patrolling the southern border. A few years ago, my nephew, a blonde white trainee pilot from Australia, was stopped and monstered by a bunch of these militias simply because the rental car he was driving was "the same type as Mexican drug cartels drive" and for "talking in a foreign accent". I **** you not.

If you Google "(my real name) PhD", you can find evidence of mine, from the department which awarded it. Although my name is uncommon, you'd first find evidence of a PhD from a namesake who, evidently, matters more to me, far as Google is concerned, so it's not a great solution.

If you Google my wife, whose PhD is from a different school, you will see somewhat less authoritative evidence of hers (from a previous employer, not the school).

Obviously, not finding such evidence doesn't mean much. I'm not saying that Sutler is lying about her PhD.

I have a PhD. You can even get about 30 pub med papers or patents with me as author. Not one of them would tell you what degree I have.

I thought that we were talking about possible obstruction involving discussions with Whitaker. That took place in DC, I presume, though the original case allegedly being obstructed took place in NYC, so maybe that's where obstruction would be pursued.
