In the wake of Charlie Kirk’s killing, President Trump and his allies have laid out a broad plan to target liberal groups, monitor speech, revoke visas and designate certain groups as domestic terrorists.
“The radical left has done tremendous damage to the country,” President Trump told reporters outside the White House on Tuesday, as he continued to play down violence on the right.
Some of the highest-ranking officials in the federal government used Charlie Kirk’s podcast, guest-hosted by Vice President JD Vance, to lay out their plans.
Mr. Kirk was among the faithful who had helped Mr. Trump build a comeback after the Jan. 6, 2021, attack on the Capitol made him a political outcast. Mr. Trump brought him into his second-term inner circle.
In the world of presidential health, distrust and speculation run so rampant that even Mr. Trump’s online assurance that he was fine was immediately explained away as part of a cover-up.
In his second term, President Trump is using his power to reshape American culture, not just American policy. He has threatened consequences for many who disagree.
