“In under 48 hours this week, Donald Trump’s social media account promoted a video featuring a term frequently associated with Nazi Germany and later removed it. He suggested he was open to states restricting access to contraceptives and then walked that back. He falsely accused President Biden of being ‘locked & loaded’ to ‘take me out.’ And in between, he was in court as his legal team rested its case in his ongoing criminal trial,” the Washington Post reports.
“The dizzying sequence of events offered a glimpse of Trump’s volatile bid for a second term in the White House — one filled with legal uncertainty, escalating attacks and comments he and has campaign have had to back away from or recast. This week, Trump gave a potential opening to Democrats on topics they are eager to challenge him over in coming months, including abortion and reproductive rights.”
