“Leaders cannot call their political opponents Nazis and fascists and enemies of the state because they disagree with their policy priorities. I mean, this is something we should have learned in grade school.”

–Speaker Mike Johnson, at the weekly House Republican Leadership press conference on Sept. 16, 2025.

“They’re very dangerous. They’re Marxists and communists and fascists. They’re the threat to democracy. The enemy from within, in my opinion, is more dangerous than China, Russia and all these countries.”

–Donald Trump, to Fox News host Harris Faulkner, Oct. 16, 2024.

On equal footing with his claim that he will reduce prescription drug prices by 1500 percent:

“I want to congratulate President Mirziyoyev on signing a GREAT Deal with Boeing! Worth over $8 Billion Dollars, Uzbekistan Airways is purchasing 22,787 Dreamliners. This will create over 35,000 jobs in the United States.”

–TACO Donald Trump, on Uzbekistan Airways’ deal to purchase 14 Boeing 787 Dreamliners with an option for eight more (22 total).

(Boeing has manufactured and delivered only 1,215 total but MAGGOT hero Trump, according to Daily Kos, inserted a comma between the numbers 22 and 787 instead of a space. But hey, according to Trump’s math (he’s a Wharton graduate, remember?), 22,787 of those puppies for $8 billion puts the cost at an amazing $351,000 each. Even better, by “creating” 35,000 jobs, each of the 22,787 planes will be built by 1.5 workers per aircraft. Except the 35,000 jobs are not new positions; the order simply supports existing jobs, avoiding layoffs. Too bad no one on his splendid staff of sycophants could summon the cojones to point out his error.)

“Every day we wake up and we see another vindictive act by this administration against its political opponents, whether they be in elective office or be in the private sector. I think anyone who uses their voice to speak up against Donald Trump needs to be realistic about the nature of this administration and the threats it poses.”

–Democratic election attorney Marc Elias
