Trump posted a video on his Truth Social platform this Saturday titled "Trump's Virtues," featuring far-right financier Thomas Klingenstein that ought to scare the crap out of every single sane American still left in our country.

Joyce Vance sounded the alarm on how dangerous this is on Xitter:

The Guardian reported on Klingenstein's extremism and his donations of millions to the Republican party to fight the so-called "woke communists" back in August of last year. Klingenstein is a real piece of work.

Newly released tax and election records show that since 2020 controversial financier Thomas Klingenstein has become one of the largest individual donors to national Republicans, contributing more than $11.6m to candidates and Pac, after decades as the far-right Claremont Institute’s biggest donor and board chairman. [...]

Klingenstein and the Claremont Institute push a harder-edged rightwing politics, and he appeared in a series of videos released in 2022 where he argued that American conservatives are in a “cold civil war” with “woke communists”, and that “education, corporate media, entertainment, big business, big tech… together with the government function as a totalitarian regime”.

Heidi Beirich, co-founder and chief strategy officer at the Global Project Against Hate and Extremism, told the Guardian in a telephone conversation that Klingenstein’s pivot may indicate an effort to “pull of Republican outfits and donors towards more extreme positions”.

While the Claremont Institute has been called “the nerve center of the American Right” for its intellectual leadership and formation of hard right activists, Klingenstein appears to have a new appetite for directly impacting electoral politics.

The guy is another extremely rich whackaloon that's decided to toss his hat in with Trump, which is not surprising. That doesn't make the fascist nature of the video any less disturbing. I think what I find more troubling than anything is the fact that there are a bunch of his cult supporters out there who are going to watch this and think this insanity is perfectly normal, and may act out against the Democrats that this evil SOB demonized and called enemies of the United States in the video.

If this was anyone but Trump posting this garbage on a social media platform, they'd be getting a visit from the FBI. It's a damned shame that this sort of stochastic terrorism continues because Trump is allowed to act as though he's above the law.
