Discussing the situation, Dr. Frank stated, “Like medical care, addressing the health of American democracy involves prevention, acute treatment, and managing chronic issues. The threat posed by Donald Trump to the wellbeing of our democracy is genuine; we are grappling with a persistent political ailment that continues to spread untreated.”

Dr. Frank emphasized, “The disgraced ex-president remains adept at stirring conflict while trying to intimidate some and incite others. He continues to be a dangerous, evolving force that necessitates proactive intervention.” He mused, “If only we had a vaccine against ‘Virus 45,’ the stream of threats poisoning our national stability.”

Insider sources reportedly express concern about the period after November 7, 2024, regardless of the election outcome, with heightened apprehension if Trump loses. The sentiments were exemplified when Matt Gaetz, a Florida lawmaker, addressed a crowd of Trump supporters, suggesting that force is necessary for change in a corrupt Washington.

In Utah, an individual who identified as a “MAGA Trumper” and was suspected of threatening President Biden was shot after an FBI encounter.

It was suggested that Trump might resort to incitement of violence once more if he perceives impending imprisonment. The reasoning: “What does he have to lose? Failure to stage a coup results in a life behind bars. A successful coup grants safety as long as he retains power,” concluded Tannehill.

According to Politico journalist Kyle Cheney, recently unsealed court documents have revealed that Special Counsel Jack Smith, who leads the team of federal prosecutors handling most of Trump’s indictments, managed to access an “astonishing amount” of data from Trump’s former Twitter account.

The significance of the DMs is particularly notable for the prosecution’s case, as Cheney points out, as “Twitter acknowledges that — given his aversion to texts and emails — Trump’s DMs may be ‘the only such electronic communications written by the former President himself.'”

Cheney’s Twitter thread and Politico article also detail Twitter’s extraordinary effort to hinder the search warrant, which included notifying Trump. This led Judge Beryl Howell to question whether Elon Musk was attempting to establish a favorable relationship.

The documents further demonstrate that Twitter was provided with multiple deadlines to submit the data; however, it either submitted “incomplete” information or disregarded the court’s ultimatums.

The unsealing of matters related to the warrant for seizing Trump’s Twitter account was delayed due to federal prosecutors’ concerns that Trump or his associates might delete content if they became aware of the warrant, which could be deemed destruction of evidence.
