After Trump told Elon that “nuclear warming” is a bigger threat than global warming, I asked my team to dig up Trump’s past comments on nuclear war. I was NOT prepared for what they found.

I’m convinced Donald Trump is a pathetic psychopath… Thread. 🧵 /1
In 1985, Trump claimed to be in talks with the Reagan White House on a plan to stop countries from developing or buying nuclear weapons. 

“The Trump Plan,” would see the U.S. combine forces with the Soviet Union and wipe out other countries’ economies. /2 Image
“There are so many of these countries that are so fragile and we have a vast power that’s never been used. They depend on us for food, for medical supplies… You go in and clean it out.” - Trump in 1985 /3 Image
Trump said he would approach countries “as nicely as possible,” then attack.

“You do whatever is necessary so these people will have riots in the street, so they can’t get water… Band-Aids… food. That’s the only thing that’s going to do it — the people, the riots.” /4 Image
I know what some of you are thinking. “Jerrad, that was 40 years ago! If Trump still wanted to do that, he could have.”

Look at what he said about the U.S. in 2014. See why I said he’s a psychopath? But I’m not done yet. /5

In his interview with Elon, Trump agreed that nuclear war isn’t as scary as people think, since Hiroshima and Nagasaki were rebuilt after being hit with atomic bombs in 1945.

In Hiroshima alone, 80,000 people -including babies and children - were killed instantly, vaporized. /6
Suggesting that using weapons of mass destruction isn’t actually a bad thing? That’s the mindset of a psychopath – but what else would you expect from a guy who wants to starve entire countries to have more power for himself? /7
Trump already told us why he didn’t start nuking countries when he was in office.

At a rally in January, he celebrated Truman dropping atomic bombs even though he could’ve been indicted. Trump said that’s why “you have to give a president full and total immunity.” /8
Now we risk this psychopath HAVING “full and total” presidential immunity to bomb other countries without consequence.

If he wins in November, then the only thing stopping Donald Trump’s dreams from becoming reality is a Democrat supermajority in Congress... maybe /9
As the next representative for OH-12, I will fully support every effort to reform the Supreme Court, hold corrupt justices accountable, and pass a constitutional amendment making it clear that NO PRESIDENT IS ABOVE THE LAW. /10 Image
It is up to the next Congress to reinforce our system of checks and balances and make sure no one like Donald Trump ever has unlimited power.

Can you spare $12 today to help me flip OH-12, defeat one of his MAGA loyalists. and defend our democracy? secure.actblue.com/donate/j_twitt…

If you haven’t figured this out already, I’m running for Congress because I care. I’m honestly not a fan of “party politics.” That includes backdoor deals, hidden agendas, and corruption of any kind – whether or not it threatens our democracy.

This kind of corruption does. 🧵 /1 Image
While we were busy celebrating Kamala announcing Tim Walz as her running mate, the Georgia Election Board passed a new rule that could give Trump loyalists a free pass to reject the election results in November.

What does this mean? /2
The new Georgia Election Board rule is so vague that all we know for sure is it gives partisan election officials an easier path to send the election to the courts. And the officials who voted for it talked to Donald Trump first. /3

🧵Remember when I said I’ve learned a lot about our country during my campaign, things I didn’t know as the average American voter?

One of the biggest takeaways is that Republicans DO NOT care about election security. Like… AT ALL. /1 Image
In 2020, Democrats introduced bills to:

1. Require campaigns to alert the FBI & the FEC if a foreign gov't offered them assistance (Russia 👀)

2. Increase funding for election security.

3. Ban voting machines from connecting to the internet.

Republicans blocked ALL THREE. /2
By the way, in October 2016, President Obama & DHS announced Russia was interfering in the election.

It was lost in the news cycle because, a few hours later, the Access Hollywood tape leaked, and Trump’s team told WikiLeaks to drop a new batch of Clinton campaign emails. /3 Image

🧵 Let’s assume Donald Trump, the Heritage Foundation and Project 2025, or some other authoritarian freaks do have a plan to end free and fair elections so Republicans “won’t have to vote any more."

Here are five ways I could see them doing it, and they absolutely can. /1
1. Extreme voter suppression in GOP-controlled states. This could happen in a variety of ways. If you live in Georgia, the state just made it so that anyone with your driver’s license number can CANCEL your voter registration. /2

11alive.com/article/news/p…
2. Change who can vote. Extremists like J.D. Vance have suggested giving men an extra vote for every child they have, only allowing homeowners to vote, and giving married men two votes instead of letting women vote.

Republicans would still need to vote, but less of them. /3 Image

🧵We KNOW Donald Trump is a criminal. But not enough Americans know what happened to the criminals around him. You’re not going to like the answer.

What if I told you that the New York City mob never disappeared, and it’s alive and well in the GOP? /1 Image
In the later half of the 1980s, U.S. District Attorney Rudy Giuliani… Yeah, that guy…managed to convict the heads of all five of New York City’s Italian mob, and it decimated their criminal empires. But contrary to popular belief, it didn’t end organized crime in the city. /2 Image
Giuliani cleared NYC of the Italian mob, and Brighton Beach’s Russian mafia to move in. This time, organized crime had his support. Just ask Trump. /3 Image

🧵In 2016, the head of CBS explained why the media was normalizing Trump: “It may not be good for America, but it’s damn good for CBS… The money’s rolling in… It’s a terrible thing to say. But, bring it on, Donald. Keep going.” 1/9 Image
Our media’s even worse now. I can’t be the only one who’s noticed it. They are acting like this man didn’t extort our allies, leave us to die from COVID, and try to overthrow the 2020 election. You might even forget he’s a convicted felon. 2/9
Guests at the RNC were given signs to hold up that read “MASS DEPORTATION NOW!” Speakers insinuated that Biden was responsible for the assassination attempt days earlier.

But NBC News praised the GOP for toning down their messaging. 3/9

🚨🧵 The ex-leader of a religious right group reveals he recruited wealthy volunteers, including a top Dayton, Ohio evangelical couple, to wine & dine conservative Supreme Court justices—while pushing their stance on abortion, homosexuality, gun laws, and more. 1/9
Rev. Schenck said that his group “would rehearse lines like, ‘We believe you are here for a time like this’” to flatter the Federalist Society’s Supreme Court justices and encourage them to kill Roe v. Wade. 2/9

This has to be connected to CNP. This coalition of GOP operatives, Christian fundamentalists, and wealthy donors control our courts and red states. They want to end equal rights, risk our lives for corporate profits, and write their beliefs into law. 3/9 deprogramamerica.com/cnp/
