https://www.rawstory.com/trump-wanted-leaker-executed/#comments_section_startAccording to Wall Street Journal reporter Michael Bender's bombshell book, "Frankly, We Did Win This Election: The Inside Story of How Trump Lost, a furious Donald Trump demanded that officials in his government find out who leaked the story that he fled to his bunker during the George Floyd protests in D.C. and wanted them tried for treason and then executed.
[snip]
According to his book, "Trump boiled over about the bunker story as soon as they arrived and shouted at them to smoke out whoever had leaked it. It was the most upset some aides had ever seen the president," with Bender reporting Trump yelled, "Whoever did that, they should be charged with treason! They should be executed!"
Bender adds that former White House Chief of Staff Mark Meadows interceded and "repeatedly tried to calm the president as startled aides avoided eye contact," while assuring Trump, "I'm on it. We're going to find out who did it."
The report adds that Trump obsessed over it for days afterwards and "those who said they'd heard the president issue that warning had interpreted the outburst as a sign of a president in panic."
Is there any doubt that if he should somehow get back in office that he will start "disappearing" and executing his political and personal enemies? All he needs is the power to order someone to do it and the republican party has pretty much all but done away with the rule of law in this country for political and economic elites.

paying attention, its obvious he leaves evidence a blind person would see that he is trying to be a modern day Hitler. The craziest part, is the GOP have become co-conspirators in his insane evil pursuit. The sane moderate republicans like Jeb, Romney, Kasich etc, ought to break off and form a third party and shout from the tree tops where The Fucking Guy is trying to take us and keep using the Hitler comparison to spotlight the seriousness the danger this lunatic ( like Hitler) presents.

I would hope they would err on the side of caution for any president. WHY does it bother him that that information got out? Why did he even consider it a leak? Narcissistic freak.
