Editor’s Note: This article is part of “If Trump Wins,” a project considering what Donald Trump might do if reelected in 2024. After decades of gains in public acceptance, the LGBTQ community is confronting a climate in which political leaders are once again calling them weirdos and predators. Texas Governor Greg Abbott has directed the Department of Family and Protective Services to investigate the parents of transgender children; Governor Ron DeSantis has tried to purge Florida classrooms of books that acknowledge the reality that some people aren’t straight or cisgender;…

Trump’s Mug Shot Gives His Haters Nothing

August 25, 2023 nothing, gives, shot, trumps, Haters0 comment

Donald Trump dropped in for a photo op in Georgia last night—not the usual kibbitz on the hustings for a former president, but a killer visual to end the week with: a mug shot. And just like that, Trump was restored to his accustomed place in the Republican dogpile: everywhere. It was hard to look away, even if you wanted to. Former presidents do not go and get fingerprinted and mug-shotted and perp-walked every day, even the one former president who takes his arraignments in gift packs of four. Clichés…

NEW YORK, NY – Atmosphere at the Nobody Is Above The Law Rally in New York City. Credit: Craig Barritt/Getty/MoveOn Donald Trump is the first president—former or current—to have been charged with a crime. Over the last five months, Trump has been indicted four separate times and charged with 91 felonies. And yet, Trump is still the unrivaled front-runner for the Republican nomination, and polling has him in a dead heat with President Biden in a general-election matchup. But after so many years of getting away with his crimes scot-free,…

After his historic indictment was announced Thursday night, former President Donald Trump reacted with his characteristic cool and precision: “These Thugs and Radical Left Monsters have just INDICATED the 45th President of the United States of America.” Presumably this was a typo, and he meant INDICTED. But the immediate joining of arms around the martyr was indeed a perfect indication of precisely who the Republicans are right now. “When Trump wins, THESE PEOPLE WILL PAY!!” Representative Ronny Jackson of Texas vowed. “If they can come for him, they can come…

Washington, D.C. – Today, in response to Donald Trump’s official announcement that he plans to run for president, MoveOn Political Action Executive Director Rahna Epting released the following statement: “We defeated Donald Trump before, and we are fully ready to do it again. “Exactly one week ago, voters unambiguously rejected Trump’s attempt to stack the deck for himself in 2024. If he insists on losing again, we’ll have to oblige. “Trump and his acolytes would like to forget the fact that in 2020, the most voters ever in American history…

MORGANTOWN, West Virginia—Eight days before a Republican-primary election that could end his political career, Representative David McKinley stood on the sunny banks of the Monongahela River and stared into a tank filled with brown sewage. A fetid stench—something like a mix of sulfur and diapers—befouled the crisp Appalachian air. McKinley, battling Representative Alex Mooney, a fellow GOP lawmaker backed by Donald Trump, in his bid for his seventh term in Congress, was touring a wastewater-treatment plant and promoting his vote for an infrastructure law that could prove to be either…
