Donald Trump on Saturday shared a video that purports to be about his "virtues," but political onlookers said it is about more than that. Trump posted the video on Saturday. Titled "Trump's virtues," the video opens with Thomas Klingenstein, self identified as a writer, a playwright, and an investor, calling on those who "can't stand" Trump to support the former president nonetheless. Former federal prosecutor Joyce Vance sounded the alarm about the video hours after it was published. "This is an utterly astonishing message for a candidate for the presidency to embrace. And, just a clue, it's not about virtues," she said on social media. "It starts with a command-even if you can't stand Trump, you must get behind him. Has any candidate ever run like that? It gets worse." ALSO READ: A criminologist explains why keeping Trump from the

Attorney Daniel Miller said, "Trump is threatening violence on Americans." “We are in a war fighting an enemy of revolutionaries that kick and spit on America…This war is a contest between those who love America and those who hate it. But we do not have a Commander-in-Chief. You can’t win a war without one," the lawyer quoted from the video. Former U.S. Attorney Barbara McQuade called the video "a master class in disinformation tactics." "Demonizing and scapegoating others, embodying every man yet claiming to be godly in ability, exploiting patriotism, portraying the most extreme parts of the left as equal to the whole, and suggesting that desperate times call for desperate measures," she added. "When we can see through the tricks, they can be neutralized." @BorisTrump6 on X also joined in: "This was 'retruthed' by Trump on TS. It's scary," the individual says of the video. They continue: "Plays like parody, but isn't. It highlights, over and over, that Trump is such a dreadful choice for president, yet calls these serious failings of the man himself and what he stands for, virtues. OMFG." A host from MSNBC on Saturday feuded with Donald Trump’s former intelligence officer Richard Grenell, who is reportedly now acting as a “shadow secretary of State” for the former president. It started with a video of MSNBC's Alex Wagner reporting on Kash Patel, the former Chief of Staff to Trump's Secretary of defense. According to the report, he promised to go after people in the media, and is being considered for Attorney General in a potential second term for Trump . Wagner called Patel's consideration as head of the DOJ "the most alarming detail" in a recent report about a second Trump presidency.

Social Media, writing, "MSNBC is panicking over the possibility that Trump might pick Kash Patel to be Attorney General," with a laughing emoji. Grenell, who Raw Story recently reported on in connection with his international affairs on Trump's behalf, shared Johnson's post and tagged Wagner with a caption that says, "Stop Asian Hate." In a separate post, Grenell wrote, "Far Lefties always get away with being racist." "Watch how [Wagner] goes out of her way to show her outrage that Kash Patel is being considered for AG 'OF THE
United States.' She’s so condescending that it’s the U.S. Watch for yourself." Wagner then took it upon herself to reply. "Oh Rick. Did you not know that I’m ASIAN AMERICAN?" the news host asked. "This is so embarrassing for you." She added, "But not more embarrassing than having an utterly unqualified fascist in the running for Attorney General of the United States."

Miller, who directed Trump's border policy during the ex-president's term in office, has since then be waging his own private war against diversity and programs promoting inclusion. But he wasn't always like that, according to investigative journalist Jean Guerrero. Guerrero, the author of " Hatemonger: Stephen Miller,
Donald Trump, and the White Nationalist Agenda ," appeared on MSNBC to profile the man behind Trump's border agenda. ALSO READ: A criminologist explains why keeping Trump from the White House is all that matters "What is his vision for America?" asked the host, who described Miller as a "mastermind." "His vision is a white nationalist America and this agenda you described is something he has been dreaming about for a very long time," she said. "In my book, I trace how he was radicalized as a teenager by far-right provocateurs who believe
racism against Black and brown people was not a problem and that the real problem in
American society was racism against whites." She continued: "This is an idea that originated with white supremacists like David Duke who in the 1970s was calling white men the 'real second class citizens in America.' But while back then, it was largely rejected and fringe; in 2024, it is mainstream GOP politics thanks to Stephen Miller." Watch the whole interview below or click the link here.
