'Gestapo Administration': Trump Likens Biden White House To Nazis In Wild Attack

Former President Donald Trump went after prosecutors in his legal cases before comparing President Joe Biden’s administration to Gestapo, the secret police force of Nazi Germany, at a private Republican National Committee donor event, according to audio obtained by multiple outlets on Saturday.

“These people are running a Gestapo administration,” said the presumptive GOP presidential nominee, who has claimed he’d be a dictator on “day one” and whose rhetoric has been compared to that of Adolf Hitler.

“And it’s the only thing they have. And it’s the only way they’re going to win, in their opinion and it’s actually killing them. But it doesn’t bother me.”
Trump launched multiple insults and attacks toward prosecutors including special counsel Jack Smith — who is prosecuting the former president’s two federal cases. The former president called Smith a “fucking asshole” in his speech at his Mar-a-Lago estate, The Washington Post reported.

Marjorie Taylor Greene Addresses ‘Gazpacho Police’ Gaffe, Makes The Mockery Worse

Extremist Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-Ga.) on Friday addressed the dayslong mockery she received for her “gazpacho police” gaffe, receiving even more ridicule in response.
The conspiracy theorist used her congressional account on Twitter to attempt to spin the embarrassing error — in which she confused the name of Adolf Hitler’s secret police, the Gestapo, for the chilled soup — into an attack on President Joe Biden.

“Some of us slip up a word every now and then, but Joe Biden doesn’t even know the words coming out of his mouth practically all the time,” she wrote, trotting out a well-worn right-wing talking point about the president.
