A new report revealed #Trump’s disturbing penchant for #executing his #political enemies. His response is somehow even worse.
Fmr Trump comms dir #AlyssaFarahGriffin revealed that Trump called for the #execution of a staffer on several occasions during his time in the WH—& the disturbing news (& Trump’s even more troubling reaction) is already fading from headlines.
#Griffin told Mediaite on Fri that #Trump called to #execute a staffer who leaked a story about him hiding in a bunker during the 2020 #BlackLivesMatter protests in response to the murder of George Floyd.
Griffin went on to call out fmr AG #BillBarr, whom she claimed knew of the whole thing when asked about the report in a CNN interview in April.
During that CNN interview, Barr did in fact seem to justify the remarks, claiming #Trump “would lose his temper” & “blow off steam” by calling to #execute people. Creepily, Barr noted that eventually Trump could be talked down from his desire to see people he got upset w/put to death, saying, “I doubt he would’ve actually carried it out.”
