Summary

Mike Davis, a Trump adviser and possible nominee for attorney general, issued a threatening warning to New York Attorney General Letitia James, who sued Trump for business fraud, not to continue her legal actions against him in his second term, threatening to put her in prison.

Davis’s inflammatory remarks, including personal insults, come as James has vowed to defend Americans against any unconstitutional actions by the new administration.

Known for his extreme rhetoric, Davis has previously suggested punishing journalists and Trump’s political opponents harshly, though it’s often unclear when he’s serious.

Trump has hinted at a significant role for Davis in his administration.

    No. Just no.

    The Democrats did not fail us. WE DID. We failed. The threat of Trump 2.0 was apparent to all. If that’s not enough motivation to at least show the hell up to vote and kick the can down the road on better things, then nothing is. Every democratic voter who stayed home or voted 3rd party was derelict in their civic duty to prevent something worse.

      Can the people, by definition, fail? What happened to the “will of the people” and democracy that Americans go on about?

      If this is what won, this is obviously what the American people wanted/chose.
