Trump foe and New Yorker<\/em> Editor David Remnick, for example, charged on NBC’s Meet the Press<\/em> Sunday that Trump is in political payback mode and using prosecutions for revenge.<\/p>\n

“The first term was filled with impulses, and the second term is efficient, ruthless, and it’s happening every day. This movement toward authoritarianism is very distinct and needs to be taken seriously,” he charged, making him our featured Liberal Media Scream.<\/em><\/p>\n

<\/iframe> <\/div>\n<\/figure>\nDavid Remnick on Sunday’s Meet the Press<\/em>:<\/span><\/p>\nDAVID REMNICK:<\/strong> I think we should take the president at his word. It used to be in 2016 and Trump 1.0, I guess, that it was considered the height of wisdom that the press takes Trump literally and the people take him seriously, and then vice versa. I think it’s possible to do both at the same time. The president is telling us that he has an enemies list that he’s going to act on. He’s told us who is on the enemies list: John Bolton, Letitia James, Fani Willis ought to be on her guard, and many more, whether they’re in the press or civic society.<\/em><\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\">\nNew Yorker editor David Remnick said that removing President Trump from office is important for the survival of the planet.<a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/5EShgGKSLz\">https:\/\/t.co\/5EShgGKSLz<\/a><\/p>\n— Washington Examiner (@dcexaminer) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/dcexaminer\/status\/1208900096567459840?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">December 23, 2019<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n <script data-cfasync=\"false\" src=\"http:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/cdn-cgi\/scripts\/5c5dd728\/cloudflare-static\/email-decode.min.js\"><\/script><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script> <\/p>\nI think this is a real emergency, and it should be taken seriously, and know that he’s going to act on it.

The first term was filled with impulses, and the second term is efficient, ruthless, and it’s happening every day. This movement toward authoritarianism is very distinct and needs to be taken seriously. This is not just a normal, you know, we talked about a budget battle. That’s normal politics.
