The Defense Secretary is bragging enthusiastically about an upcoming public execution he plans to oversee
Hegseth on Nidal Hasan: "He's gonna get a firing squad of soldiers. As it should be. We'll make sure that people are able to watch it. That it's public. Because people need to understand that there's serious consequences for these types of things."

If Biden had been wearing some weird device, reporters would have asked questions about it. But the White House press corps fears Trump, so they don’t ask about this or the spackle covering his bruised hands.

Her dad was also there, but unfortunately, he died, he was in the adjacent room. They were thrown down from the fourth floor."

In the presidential immunity case, the court considered a hypothetical of a president ordering Navy Seals to assassinate an American political rival. Trump's lawyer argued unambiguously yes, since it'd be an "official act."
The Roberts Court ruled in his favor, 6-3. Why wouldn't Trump believe this?
