Rep. Matt Gaetz (R-Fla.) called out a Washington Post article warning of a “Trump dictatorship” in 2024 as an invitation for assassinating former President Donald Trump.

In the article, titled “A Trump dictatorship is increasingly inevitable. We should stop pretending“, Robert Kagan warned Democrats that Trump becoming the GOP nominee is all but certain, which could lead to him rising to power like Hitler did in Germany.

They’re obviously green-lighting assassination,” Gaetz wrote Monday on X.

Obvious or not, it’s an extraordinary remark to make by a member of Congress, especially given the current polarized political climate.

Perhaps Gaetz was referring to the article’s illustration which shows Roman leader Julius Caesar, who was assassinated by a group of senators in 44 B.C., bursting out of Trump’s head.

Journalist Glenn Greenwald pointed out that the WaPo writer Kagan, a co-founder of neocon think tank Project for the New American Century, is married to Joe Biden’s Under Secretary of State for Political Affairs Victoria Nuland, a key architect of America’s foreign policy that resulted in “multiple wars” in the Middle East and Ukraine.

Trump on Truth Social reposted Rep. Cory Mills (R-Fla.) blasting the WaPo article’s ridiculous bad-faith premise and noting that Trump’s America First platform — economic prosperity, no endless wars, public safety — is popular among the American people.

“The American people want the economy Trump created, affordable living conditions, safety back in our communities, peace through strength foreign policies that prevented all out war, and an America first driven agenda,” he wrote.

“All that is opposite of what we’ve gotten under the failed Biden.”

The mainstream media and Democrats have notably ratcheted up their anti-Trump rhetoric in recent months amid an already tense political environment with an election less than a year away.

Rep. Dan Goldman (D-N.Y.) last month called for Trump to be “eliminated”, prompting backlash that led to him apologizing “for the poor choice of words.”
