Mr. Trump has repeatedly called for the imprisonment of his political opponents, often singling out members of the Jan. 6 committee. But the two posts that Mr. Trump amplified on Sunday particularly stand out.

One proposed jailing an extensive list of high-ranking officials, including Mr. Trump’s former vice president, the top Republican in the Senate and the current president and vice president. The other invoked the dictatorial imagery of a televised military tribunal, which would strip Ms. Cheney of her right to due process similar to the military courts used to prosecute terror suspects at Guantánamo Bay

Good thing the supreme court didn’t just give the president the power to do whatever they want recently. This would be an actually actionable threat otherwise.

Trump was president for 4 years, and Hillary Clinton is still walking around free.

My prediction is that Trump will win the election but not make it to the White House. Let’s see if this pans out.
