When will the Democratic Party and the media wake up to the fact that we are no longer trying to stop a fascist from taking over our government. The fascist is (consolidating power) in charge of the executive branch with the support of the judiciary and the Republican controlled Congress.
-
Really Rachel????? Who are the "us" here?
-
Trump is using the military against the American people.
It's called Tyranny.
-
I’d love for the MSM to stop treating him like one.

Donald's a whiny little toadstool. youtu.be/RZXsmicwSfI

We cannot let personality or theatrics dictate governance. Even if he dreams of kingship, it’s the people who decide the limits of power, not one individual.

How about Louis XVI?

That door is closing fast. Amerikans are too weak to resist the mutterings of a madman rapist. What does THAT say about who Amerikans REALLY are? Really, Amerika is the land of the My Lai massacre; happy to do it, and good at covering it up. The very christian thing to do.

The DNC needs to quit asking for donations and start taking actions to push back and reclaim our democracy.

What makes you think he wants to be a king? Trying to make his country the best? Rescuing dangerous cities? Lowering taxes for everyone? Removing alien criminals? Pull your head out of your ass.
-
-
Treat him like a king? Sure, no problem. “Here king!”
-
-
I’ll spit on him.
-
Having one helium-headed madman ascend to high office, sure it can happen. What is truly amazing is the posse of servile, fawning sycophants trumpeting his genius. These are educated people who know he is a vile, grifting, self-obsessed liar. They have sold their souls for money, fame and power. Sad

We don’t want a king!

Trump who’s that! I don’t well not sure if I know that person!

yes, but so many entities have already capitulated to him that it makes it harder for us Americans
-
I don't care how it happens, I just want him gone.

Pedo felon Trump Best I got

Trump has been consistent his whole life in feeling entitled to whatever he wants. As President, he can only do whatever people act on in his behalf. Every Republican member of Congress, governor and state legislator who does so is as criminal as Trump. Same for judges who accommodate his actions.

In Trump’s America, save yourself by saving your money.

He needs to be treated like a fascist dictator.
-
Until someone or something can stop him, he IS doing whatever he wants and his a$$ kissing cabinet is puke-worthy and making it worse!!!! WTH!
-
He’s a felon and deserves to be treated as such. Honestly, most felons deserve better than him.

Trump CANNOT do anything he wants!

How ‘bout that beautiful gold FIFA cup he “kept” and so proudly and prominently displays as “his”?

I treat him like a little cry baby.

The problem is that the U.S. Supreme Court has regarded Donald Trump as a king - the Constitution says he is not!

Is there anything he thinks he doesn’t own?

Hell no! Trump has to go… or die, either one works

Media needs to scrutinize instead of "affect on polling" . Where's the saturation health scrutiny or is that only for past presidents? Call fascism, fascism.

Anyone have a suggestion as to how a photo negative of his claims and illegal moves can be IMMEDIATELY posted?

Well? Trump scolds our allies to pay for their own defense. Someone should remind him how many billions of dollars the US taxpayer has transferred to Israel. By now probably more than a trillion dollars. Shouldn’t the STARTUP NATION stop taking handouts? Don, don’t be a sucker. Well? 💰
-
Trump is the ideal ruler for the corporate slaves of America; just ask the Russians and Israelis. He’s perfect!

Spot in.

We need to treat him like the deranged mob criminal he is.

Fast forward to 2026 if Dems take House and Senate, BUT Trump and Vance refuse to honor the elections. Vance won't swear in Dems, so SCOTUS has to decide whether newly elected Dems will be sworn in. It's a Constitutional Crisis. Will SCOTUS do the right thing?

Too late Rach, you’ve LOST your country:(

Agreed! Show this to all your GOP-voting, small-government-loving friends & family who won't see it on any TV stations they watch or websites they visit.

Thank you for always calling him out. We need to continue pushing back everywhere we can in the media in the public and in Congress.
-
Not my dictator.
-
During yesterday's cabinet meeting, the men and women who spent most of their time praising him, fawning over him, and kissing his ass embarrassed themselves as they proved just how spineless, subservient, and abused they are. Their families must be really proud.

I agree! We must 🛑 stop him from defacing our WHITE HOUSE more than he has!Antique Rose Garden paved over! Now he wants aKing ‘s BALLROOM with his cheap gold gild! PLEASE get your fan base involved! Trump is a TENENT! The WHITE HOUSE is an historic building! D, C. must have rules to it!

All that really matters is 90% of the rich,all of congress (majority in both houses) the highest courts in the land, governors of red states ALL including 40% of the populace will treat him as royalty and his kids are the new standard of Camelots Court this is the American Royalty.

Wow. Boule so perfectly expresses all that I’ve been thinking and feeling about trump’s ownership of my country. I’m relieved to know that many feel outrage as trump steals our institutions, history, culture, accomplishments, scientific and artistic achievements and converts it all to gilded shit
-
Ms. Maddow, very well said. I/we love listening to your shows/talks. Please keep it coming.
-
He does not own the United States. He needs to be reminded of this fact. What a pitiful excuse for a human being, what an even more pitiful excuse for a supposed administration.
-
Trump can be king only as far as people around him make him one. And Republicans have worked so hard to make him one. Every day they hand him that power on a gold platter. They ALL need to be voted out of office.
-
A suggestion- stop using the word king and start saying dictator. So many people are enamored of royalty and see it as quaint. We are looking at a future where America is like N Korea and Russia, not the British monarchs.

It's startling how many voters would still rather abstain from voting than support a nominee who doesn't fully align with their demands. Either they aren't worried about the rise of fascism or a dictatorship, or they are, but are willing to accept these threats as long as they cause widespread harm.

There is never, no, none, zip, zilch, nada reason to play a felon fraud Trump even live.
On the rare occasion of playing a video clip of Trump, it should be preceded by facts which would humiliate his words which follow.

Lots of US citizens post stuff everywhere. But from Canada's vantage point, THIS IS STILL ONGOING. One bite at a time: SCOTUS rulings, ICE, DOGE, Ntl Gards in the street, media sued, Bolton raid, etc. When your next mid terms are "postponed" for some ntl security stunt, it will be too late by then.

The next “KING” who hated him before, but is acting like he likes him at the moment, is waiting for the present King to die so he can take over. Yup, his name is JUST DANCE & he’s standing right behind pedo king.

Also quit referring to his “administration.” It’s an oligarchy of billionaires. It’s a regime.

We need businesses, universities, local governments & the like to stop giving into him? If they hadn't done so at the very beginning, he would never have felt powerful enough to continue. But he said to them "jump" & by the next day they did. The people with power & money need to stand up too.
