Sally Kohn : Trump is outdoing himself during the 2024 campaign’s final weeks , belching threats and spreading conspiracies.

She says the media and the media got it wrong: Trump should be taken seriously and literally.

Trump demonstrated as president what he's capable of, not least in separating migrant families and inciting an insurrection.

Trump told interviewer Maria Bartiromo that he isn’t worried about election day chaos from his supporters or foreigners.

Jackie Calmes : Trump 's dark, dystopian lies about immigrants ruining Springfield , Ohio , Charleroi , Pa. ; and Aurora , Colo. , have drawn attention to each from neo- Nazis and white supremacists.

He’s vowed to use wartime powers to deport millions . “Getting them out will be a bloody story,” Trump said last month in Mosinee , Wis. Believe him. Yet Trump 's normie supporters do not. Willful delusion about what Trump has done is idiocy in 2024 .
