tRump agenda
Release violent felons and imprison political enemies. TDS spin?

Nope. His own words:

President-elect Donald J. Trump outlined an aggressive plan for opening his second term in an interview that aired on Sunday, vowing to move immediately to pardon his most violent supporters while threatening to lock up political foes like Liz Cheney.

In his first sit-down broadcast network interview since being re-elected, Mr. Trump said that on Day 1 of his new administration next month, he would extend clemency to the hundreds of his backers who stormed the Capitol on Jan. 6, 2021, and try to bar automatic citizenship for children born in the United States to immigrant parents.

Without giving a time frame, Mr. Trump also indicated that he would fire the F.B.I. director, Christopher A. Wray, out of personal pique because “he invaded my home” and was insufficiently certain at first whether Mr. Trump’s wound during an assassination attempt this year was caused by a bullet or shrapnel. And he said members of Congress who investigated his role in the Jan. 6 attack should be thrown behind bars.

“For what they did, honestly, they should go to jail,” Mr. Trump said of Ms. Cheney, a Republican who represented Wyoming, and the rest of the bipartisan House committee that looked into the attack. Speaking with Kristen Welker on “Meet the Press” on NBC, he said he would not direct his new attorney general or F.B.I. director to pursue the matter but indicated that he expected them to do it on their own. “I think that they’ll have to look at that,” he said, “but I’m not going to” order them to.

Lol, not going to force them to. Oh you mean that if there are future historians. They won't find his signature on any orders. Or any direct verbal command to subordinates to enact his crystal clear will. Gee where have I heard that tactic before? And here I thought he just read his speeches. 🤔

I noticed that as well. But if they don’t do as he ‘hopes’ they do, they’ll be out, and probably the next target of his wrath and scorn.

Trump's words are a bit like a well-dressed Sicilian saying "Nice shop you have here. Wouldn't it be a shame if somebody firebombed it!"

I hear that Murdoch never tells his editors how to run their papers. He only hires editors who already know.
