Trump's job creation rate was lower than it had been before Trump took over, but it seems like few people know that. See thread 20 in my pinned tweet for data.
(THREAD) Trump's desire and willingness to use violence against Americans.
After Trump clearly threatened America with violence if things don't go his way, I figured I would make this thread to pull some things together. Here is a quote from Trump:
@gtconway3d
I have to admit. Even though I’ve seen Trump say some really dumb things, I was surprised that he said this. The level of ignorance and self delusion, or just plain lack of brain function, required to reach that conclusion is off the charts. Without tests she keeps spreading it.

@mtgreenee
@laurenboebert
@GOPLeader
If a gang attacked a school and was hunting one of the classes, Lauren Boebert would tweet to help the gang find the class, like she tweeted to help the mob on 1/6/21. People on the mob’s side both asked her to be eyes on the inside and thanked her for being eyes on the inside:
@Scaramucci
How do you think Trump feels about the court ruling that
@ejeancarroll
can pursue Trump’s DNA, to compare to DNA from her dress? We may go into this election with Trump defying a court order in a rape case.
Maybe Trump’s niece will provide hers to see if it is close.
@JanNWolfe
@maggieNYT
In other words, “We did not send him there to uphold his oath to our country’s Constitution. We sent him there to break his oath when that would benefit us.”
@donwinslow
That last tweet from Boebert came just 3 minutes before somebody asked her to be the eyes on the inside for the mob. There was good reason for them to think she would be their eyes on the inside:
@kurteichenwald
@marceelias
Seems like the plan all along was to:
🔹Have Trump disparage mail-in voting so less R voters would use it.
🔹Count votes out of order to trick the public into thinking Trump was ahead.
🔹Claim victory before the 1st votes cast were counted.
🔹Try to throw out the earliest votes.

@lawofruby
If the facts are against you, argue the law. If the law is against you, argue the facts. If the law and the facts are against you, find a judge who you appointed and who sees herself as part of your legal team. This is the Trump/Cannon way.
@funder
@KristiNoem
Kristi Noem’s response seems to indicate that her attitude is that she should be able to abuse her power because she believes others abuse their power. Tax cheats often take the same attitude.
@skamerow
@CheriJacobus
On 9/11 Americans on planes were on their phones with their loved ones because they suspected it may be the last time they talked to them, while Bin Laden’s men flew the planes.
0n 1/6/21 our politicians did similar as Trump’s mob hunted them, and Trump blocked reinforcements.
@harrylitman
@BillChristeson
Something to keep in mind for those who think one or both judges are biased—Judge Chutkan’s previous decisions with respect to Trump were upheld on appeal while Judge Cannon was not only overruled by the court above her, they took her to the woodshed. One followed the law.
It looks like
@JonathanTurley
is a liar. In an interview
@PreetBharara
said this:
“I think it is a reasonable conclusion that the decision to get rid of Jeff Berman was not done in good faith.”
This can be seen at about the 4:40 mark here:
@mikerhoneTM
@RealCandaceO
Wonder if Candace will throw a party. For over a year Candace and Charlie Kirk have acted like people would if they were getting paid for every death. They are both horrible human beings. Charlie didn’t even stop trying to get people killed after his mentor died of it.
@JasonLeopold
We had around 1000 Americans die yesterday of COVID-19, as Trump Jr. said deaths were almost nothing. Like Republicans used the 4 Americans who died in Benghazi for political advantage, not because they cared about them, they will use other groups, but never those killed by Rs.
@DavidPriess
@AshaRangappa_
1/6 was an abuse of power by Trump. McConnell getting his colleagues to vote against an investigation is such an abuse of power that it calls for going to majority vote wins in the Senate, and Senators can stand and filibuster, if they desire.
@onestpress
@RickPetree
They say that VP candidates don’t really matter in elections but Walz seems to have a special something that has a good chance of breaking that rule, in the opposite way that Palin broke it.
@donwinslow
That last tweet from Boebert came just 3 minutes before somebody asked her to be the eyes on the inside for the mob. There was good reason for them to think she would be their eyes on the inside:
@MeidasTouch
When Trump said his supporters would get tired of winning maybe he meant they would get tired of winning after 1 win (2016) and so they would keep losing after that.
Those deals with the Devil can be tricky.
@danielsgoldman
2/ Trump quotes from 2012:
🔹“We should have a revolution in this country!”
🔹“Let’s fight like hell and stop this great and disgusting injustice!”
🔹“revolution!”
🔹“We should march on Washington and stop this travesty.”
Sick that Republican Senators will help Trump do more.
@WarmMonkey
@tobymorton
@laurenboebert
That sounds good to me. Something like:
“Please provide the exact U.S. legal codes you think I violated. I suspect that you violated HIPPA with your letter.”
@ChelseaClinton
I don’t usually support this, but Trump went so far over the line that I think he should hear “Lock him up” everywhere he goes after 1/2/21, unless he actually gets locked up. Then we can stop. Trump dreamed about seeing Hillary through bars, but she may be visiting him.
@gtconway3d
Jordan getting 58k likes for saying Trump “didn’t even do anything wrong” with classified documents tells us a lot about how sick a portion of America is and how little current Republicans care about the truth. Fox ‘News’ and Jordan are selling lies.
@gtconway3d
Trump claimed that things from a hairspray can that he used in his bathroom couldn’t get into the atmosphere because his place was sealed, so it is even possible for somebody to show themselves as that stupid and then get elected, hailed as a genius, and to become a cult leader.
@GavinNewsom
With a vigilante loving SCOTUS, how about letting private citizens sue churches that are political, but don’t pay taxes? I don’t want that or other vigilante laws, but as long as SCOTUS supports vigilantism, they are not legit if they don’t allow it against things they support.
@maggieNYT
Republican Senators should vote to ban Trump from federal office for multiple reasons. That Trump pardoned Bannon so that Bannon can help Trump create a new political party is another one. If they don’t ban Trump he could run 3rd party and cost the Republican Party.
@BMeiselas
I agree and also want to make the point that Vance proved he is not only a risk to support a coup in 2024, but Vance is a risk to support a coup in 2028, 2032, etc.
@MontyBoa99
@SenatorCollins
Just the fact that Susan Collins doesn't understand why people are upset about her actions, when she is doing what she has always done, says she should no longer be a Senator. It would be a huge mistake to let her keep getting away with it.
@awelab1956
@alfranken
Trump learns lessons. He learned that Republican Senators wouldn’t just let him off, they would help him hide the evidence. Trump has learned for decades that he could get away with basically anything. Time to teach him some new lessons.
@RpsAgainstTrump
@gtconway3d
I wish churchgoers across this nation would confront Trump supporting pastors tomorrow with how they can support somebody who is deceiving to try to get FBI agents shot. Those pastors harm Christianity and are showing that people with morals should reject their views.
@gtconway3d
Every time anybody sees one of these grifts from a Trump that is unethical, but maybe hard to prosecute, it should steal our spines to hold them accountable for their crimes that are more likely to get them prison terms. No mercy for a family this unethical. “Law & order”.
@tedlieu
I wonder how James feels going into a store or restaurant wearing shoes and a shirt, knowing the store or restaurant excludes people who refuse to wear those. Anybody think he ever felt bad knowing that he was taking part in that exclusion?
@SethAbramson
I would love it if the stations would put this Trump tweet up. If Trump can't handle responsibility, that means he isn't a leader (from his own words).
@charliekirk11
@JoeBiden
It was somebody on Charlie’s side who was just arrested for murdering people. Police seemed to be chummy with the guy. Seems like Charlie wants violent people from the right to come in to help make sure the protests aren’t peaceful.
@AnaCabrera
@AshaRangappa_
If anybody in the US gets caught using a fake vaccine card to get close to other people while unvaccinated, I hope they get some jail time. Treat them like drunk drivers at the least.
@MeidasTouch
Please don’t forget that for Trump’s side they scream “Innocent until proven guilty” even when not a criminal matter (like Kavanaugh), but as soon as it is somebody Trump doesn’t like (like the Central Park 5) it is “Guilty until proven innocent (and not even then)”.
@danielsgoldman
3/ How many coup attempts is too many for a Democrat? How many coup attempts is too many for a Republican?
Trump has already tried 2 coup attempts (the 1st failing because he couldn’t get it off the ground). How many coup attempts before there should be consequences?
@danielsgoldman
4/ Note that Trump’s first attempt to achieve a coup (in 2012) also failed because Romney was a decent enough American to not go along with Trump’s calls for revolution and for people to march on Washington to do what they could to flip the election. Romney is not a seditionist.
@TheRealHoarse
@RandPaul
Or at least how elections work when people like Trump and Rand Paul have a say. Count the last votes cast first so that you can act like the other guy’s votes came in later, like Rand Paul is doing. Rand Paul’s side set the plan in motion a while ago:
@kurteichenwald
@marceelias
Seems like the plan all along was to:
🔹Have Trump disparage mail-in voting so less R voters would use it.
🔹Count votes out of order to trick the public into thinking Trump was ahead.
🔹Claim victory before the 1st votes cast were counted.
🔹Try to throw out the earliest votes.
@File411
2/ For those who haven’t seen it, here is a tape of 3 Trumps struggling with basic math:
🔹Ivanka claims 17*6 has no practical application.
🔹Jr. can’t figure out that the last digit is a 2.
🔹Sr. confidently says 17*6 is “eleven twelve”.
@tribelaw
@gtconway3d
Just in case anybody doesn’t know, not only did Trump engage in insurrection after the 2020 election, he tried to in 2012 because he hated Obama and Obama won. Trump just didn’t have enough clout in 2012 to get that desired insurrection going.
Facts about the guy who turned Americans into homegrown terrorists to try to overturn an election for him:
In 2012, when Obama got 65.9M votes to Romney’s 60.9M, Trump falsely claimed that Obama had lost the popular vote, then called for a revolution as a response:
@FrankLuntz
Jenna has shown more than once that she isn’t that bright. As far as the judge and Giuliani, I’m guessing that interacting with Giuliani made the judge think about drinking alcohol.
@lawofruby
Consider that Trump testified he resigned from the trust on 7/7/21 because people were coming after him, yet he had himself recorded showing off a classified document at Bedminster exactly 2 weeks later (7/21/21).
Definitely not a genius move. He couldn’t stop committing crimes.
@MeidasTouch
@santiagomayer_
2/ Charlatan loves to deceive his fans, and he has them all set to believe his lies. Like here, where he did like TPUSA did above and assigned blame to Biden for what happened under Trump in 2020. Charlie would never want to admit how much of oil’s rise was under Trump:
@MaddowBlog
This is who the White Evangelicals want helping decide how cruel our country is to children. I bet Katie Miller claims to be a Christian too, even though her heart is about as far as can be from that of the Jesus of the Bible. She rose in the ranks to Pence with her cruel heart.
@lawofruby
Trump whines constantly that he isn’t treated fairly but this is one more example of how Trump gets special treatment. Other defendants wouldn’t get to do this.
Maybe the appeals court will take into account that Trump got special privileges after he whines.
@waltshaub
How about Justice Roberts? Is he going to ignore Trump’s demand to New York when deciding whether Trump can keep all of his financials hidden from investigators? Roberts said that too many people take Democracy for granted. I guess we will see if he is one of them.
@mkraju
We’ve seen so many Republicans who have no problem taking an oath and then breaking it, and here we see Republicans signing their names to lies about why they didn’t come in to work. They’ll still claim that Rs are the moral party, but thinking people can see different.
@MeidasTouch
Reminds me of high school when a student who wasn’t in my class came in so he could talk to a friend. He was being a jerk as the teacher told him to leave. As the guy was leaving he tried to slam the door, but it was one of those doors that would close slowly. We all laughed.
@Christin210
@cm_merlin
This week has the potential to be pretty incredible. Really hoping SCOTUS rules that the House gets to see at least some of Trump financial records, since he lied on his financial disclosure form. If they do, 6/22, 6/25, and 6/29 look like the likeliest days for that.
@charliekirk11
Charlie Kirk only cares about 4 Americans who died in Benghazi for how Charlie can use it for political advantage. Charlie didn’t care about 4 who died in Niger under Trump, 1 by the Taliban, and way over 100k dead from COVID-19. Charlie doesn’t actually care about our troops.
@charliekirk11
Interesting that Charlie mentions this Mueller case, but doesn't mention that Trump has rewarded and continues to reward Labor Secretary Alexander Acosta, who was the one who gave Epstein that deal. Charlie sure is digging hard to make the arrest of Trump's buddy a good thing.
@lawhawk
@AGKarlRacine
I’m guessing that in the history of the world there have been zero people who ran their charity corruptly, but didn’t run their business corruptly. NY needs to go full bore with “Law and order” on these Trumps. If they did the crime, give them some time.
@danielsgoldman
I hope people know that this isn’t the first time that Trump has tried to overturn a lawful election through revolution. He did it in 2012, but failed to get anybody killed that time. This time he did get people killed.
That time the “lie” was that Romney won the popular vote:

@neal_katyal
Sounds a lot like saying citizens can hold other citizens hostage at gunpoint for doing things within their constitutional rights, like interracial dating, then a far right court says they won’t stop it because they don’t know if anybody will be taken hostage, letting fear work.
@maggieNYT
It would be completely irresponsible for Twitter to open Trump’s account up without moderating every tweet before it goes up. Or just ban him forever.
@gtconway3d
I wonder if Sidney Powell fans are making sure that Trump knows about this stuff on Facebook from Jenna Ellis where she says that Trump’s “supporters DON’T CARE about facts or logic” and “aren’t seeking truth”.
I’ll put a link in the next tweet.
@MeidasTouch
#TrumpCantKeepItUp
has been a problem for him for a long time. Familiarity has largely bred contempt for Trump, so he has had to move from one grift to the next. Even his Apprentice ratings fell a lot to 3 years from the first season:
@MiserableTwitt1
@lawindsor
In all seriousness, I would love to see a video of somebody asking Pence if he will autograph a picture, then pulling this out:
@lawofruby
Trump made it to his indictment after being offered the option to do it by Zoom. If Trump doesn’t show up for the
@ejeancarroll
trial it is because Trump doesn’t want to be there.
