Time magazine called the ex-president’s plans ‘an imperial presidency that would reshape America and its role in the world’

Donald Trump has warned that Joe Biden and his family could face multiple criminal prosecutions once he leaves office unless the US supreme court awards Trump immunity in his own legal battles with the criminal justice system.

In a sweeping interview with Time magazine, Trump painted a startling picture of his second term, from how he would wield the justice department to hinting he may let states monitor pregnant women to enforce abortion laws.

Trump made the threat against the Biden family in an interview with Eric Cortellessa of Time, in which he shared the outlines of what the magazine called “an imperial presidency that would reshape America and its role in the world”.

    It’s different now though. He didn’t have the power to lock her up. This time around, he’ll have Project 2025 behind him to allow him to do things like that.

      He also didn’t have an actual legal case, despite a LOT of digging.

        He still doesn’t have an actual legal case against the Bindens either, despite a LOT of Russian support trying to falsify something.

          He won’t need any. Can just “trump” up some charges (pun not intended). He’ll be a dictator, it won’t matter. He could shoot them on 5th Ave. and no one would say a thing

            Stop with the nonsense that Convicted Sex Offender Treason Trump has already completely enshitified the country. It wouldn’t work because (1) the judge would throw out the case, and (2) no grand jury would vote to proceed. That is why Bill Barr refused Treason Trump’s order to prosecute Hillary Clinton.

            Trump has already tried this and failed.

              Bill Barr wasn’t AG for another 2.5 years before trump let off Clinton.

        Yeah, I kind of always assumed that there were some skeletons in Hillary’s closet, but if Trump’s AGs didn’t even find anything that warranted an investigation…

      He’s the exact same impotent blowhard. Not even his cronies will change that. He’ll lose interest the minute he’s elected, just like with Clinton.

          I know about the boogeyman. Not even Americans are going to sit down and watch this happen.

            I can’t tell you how many times I’ve heard “Americans won’t let that happen” and then it happens.

              These idiots are not going to magically be in the majority over night. How many tough guys write manifestos like that every day? Sorry I’m not scared by some big words by Charlie Kirk.

            We have let every step leading up to our current stage happen without meaningful challenge. Why would this momentum stop now?

              What momentum? Maga? Didn’t the fat guy lose the election?

                Project 2025 is a plan already set in motion. It started when i was a child, and there really has been no real blow against its success.The setback of trump losing the election has not stopped the momentum. You can tell because the loss of rights is happening under the democrats watch. If you response is “well they really could not have stopped it” then the plan is working as intended

                  No, my response is, democrats act on a 20-year-plan by Charlie Kirk, really? Or is it possible the causation you see is merely a correlation? “The loss of rights” seems awfully vague to me. What policies did democrats specifically implement that go back to that manifesto?

                    Um project 2025 is a right wing plan to institute conservatives values that increase the influence of white christian values in politics, lowering taxes for wealthy donors, deregulating corporations, and equate money with political power as they lose the popular vote. Not sure why you are referencing the democrats.

        That’s not what happened. He directly ordered Bill Barr to prosecute Clinton and Bill Barr refused knowing there was no grounds. Convicted Sex Offender Treason Trump doesn’t have the power to do this. He literally tried already tried and failed.
