Rep. Seth Moulton (D-Mass.) ripped Donald Trump on Wednesday after the president said he’d label violence against Tesla dealerships as “domestic terrorism” as the company faces backlash over billionaire Elon Musk’s cost-cutting crusade.

Trump, who praised Tesla electric vehicles alongside Musk outside the White House earlier this week, vowed that protesters who target the company with violence would be caught and “go through hell” as a result.

Moulton, in an interview with CNN’s Audie Cornish, was asked about the Trump administration labeling acts that go “beyond vandalism” toward Tesla as domestic terrorism and whether this is what “resistance should look like.”

“So, Trump thinks that if you try to kill cops to overthrow the government and change an election that’s not domestic terrorism, but somehow having a protest in front of a Tesla dealership is?” said Moulton, referring to the president’s forgiveness and adoration for rioters linked to the deadly Jan. 6, 2021, attacks. “The bottom line with Trump is freedom and liberties belong to people who agree with him and that’s it, that’s his view of America. That’s not a view that people who believe in our Constitution share.”

1. Moulton nails tRump's bottom line

Seth Moulton (D) said:

The bottom line with Trump is freedom and liberties belong to people who agree with him and that’s it, that’s his view of America.

2. Trump uses the law to protect and enrich himself.

And to control and punish everyone else.

3. He honors only one law: Wilhoit's Law

Frank Wilhoit: “Conservatism consists of exactly one proposition …There must be in-groups whom the law protects but does not bind, alongside out-groups whom the law binds but does not protect.”


Your title was shortened on a small screen. It said “ House Democrat Smacks Down Trump's Double”, which was pretty intriguing. Try to live up to your titles next time.

5. TRUMP'S LATEST BIG LIE

When asked on camera several days ago why he pardoned people who attacked police, Trump claimed that "They didn't attack the police, the police attacked them. That's why I pardoned them." Why has not every police force in America condemned this obvious lie?

6. That's not a new lie.

He's been saying it for more than a month. I'm pretty sure it's longer, but I couldn't find a specific statement earlier than that without watching a gazillion videos - which would have quickly made me ill.

7. Dump always flip-flops

[DENVERPOPS]

9. I keep telling you

He and his creepoids are gonna use any excuse to use the Insurection Act to activate the military and declare "Martial Law".....

And THAT will be the start of the Dictatorship.......

He is just sitting there salivating, with his tiny woody, just waiting.................

At that point, we will find out just how deeply the MAGAots have infiltrated the U.S. Military, National Guard, and Local Police/Sheriffs across the entire U.S.

I think it is fairly safe to assume that the entire Border Patrol, and the thousands of U.S. Military already along the border are just "Standing Back, and Standing By" for his orders already.............He brought them up to Portland during the Black Lives Matter peaceful demonstrations. They will use their own MAGAots, dressed as rioters, to commit acts of violence and vandalism to make it appear that the PROTESTORS are violent, just like they did in Portland and other locations across the nation.......Giving the Media and the soldiers justification to show the protestors as the violent ones............

Trump has already warned of a "Blood Bath", and that all his insurrectionists and seditionists, and Militias should "Stand Back, and Stand By"
It is already a COUP, and at that point it will become a Military Coup............the trademark of a Tyrant........
He has already tested the water by sending thousands of the U.S. Military to the southern border.....and to his glee there have been no protests of that act. The Posse Comatatus Act, to him, is just a worthless piece of paper. Along with it being said in the past, that the U.S. Constitution is just an antiquated piece of paper........

11. Trump pardons violent anti-abortion extremists .. who forced their way inside a clinic, injuring a nurse, harassing ...

On January 23, the President issued pardons for 23 anti-abortion extremists who had been convicted of violating the federal Freedom of Access to Clinic Entrances (FACE) Act.

Several of them were convicted in Washington, DC, after forcing their way inside a clinic using chains, locks, ropes, and other implements. During this live-streamed assault, they injured a nurse and harassed patients. One of those pardoned was found with five fetuses in her house at the time of her arrest.

This continues the early pattern of Trump offering pardons to people convicted of violent crimes.

- Population Connection magazine, March 2025, p. 30

Apparently the clinic was not a Tesla dealership.

Maybe this hasn't been mentioned yet because it is "just a wimins feature piece / backgrounder/ analysis",
