Headline and text from article: Trump Declares Everyone Who Doesn’t Kiss His Ass Is A Terrorist Failures from the what-a-joke dept Fri, Sep 26th 2025 10:52am - Mike Masnick Trump has officially given up on any semblance of attempting actual governance and moved to pure man-baby-without-a-nap tantrum mode. His latest “countering domestic terrorism and organized political violence” memorandum is basically him screaming “EVERYONE WHO DOESN’T LIKE ME IS A TERRORIST!” in official government letterhead. The document has zero legal authority and can’t actually do anything to change the law—it’s performative authoritarian cosplay from a president whose approval ratings have cratered and whose policies are imploding (even the ones that were previously popular). But while it has no force of law, it can absolutely do serious damage by redirected all aspects of the federal government away from serving the public interest, and entirely towards punishing anyone who doesn’t like Trump. The whole thing reveals just how far Trump’s willing to go in redefining basic political opposition as terrorism when he can’t win literally any arguments on the merits. Supporting immigration reform? Terrorist. LGBTQ+ rights? Terrorist. Criticizing his failures? Terrorist! Calling out his authoritarianism? All terrorism, apparently.
