President Trump is leveraging his role as commander-in-chief in a much clearer and more urgent way than during his first term — whether that’s showing off the military in a parade or using it to quell protests.

what a disgrace you have become Politico.
“These boots are delish!”
fat old git sends his goons to enjoy being bored.
You know who else was leveraging his role as commander in chief very “clearly” and “urgently”?
The term you are missing is fascism.
You are a pathetic propaganda rag not a news outlet.
The FIRST AMENDMENT OF THE US CONSTITUTION guarantees the RIGHT of every person in the USA to PROTEST. Do your fucking job Politico!
Who are you talking to here, Wendy? There's no one listening there. Politico made its choice to follow the road shown by Der Stürmer.
I’m not talking to anyone specifically. I’m making a public post calling out ALL fascists. I don’t care if anyone sees it, but if even one person feels shame, it might spread. I’m doubtful, but I won’t shut up.
complete moral failure
Fascist rag celebrates a fascist
go fuck yourselves
Whether what he is doing is legal and/or appropriate should also be a part of your headline.
FUCK YOU!!!!
The Commander-in-chief cannot violate the Posse Comitatus Act under false pretenses to “quell protests”. Moreover, the commander-in-chief cannot usurp states rights ie, a governor’s power over the National Guard, under false pretenses to “quell protests”. Stop auditioning for fascists.
He can and will because there's nothing to stop him any more
Sure there is. If nothing else, there's all of us - and there are more of us than there are of his cult, the cult's just louder.
💯
Only weak leaders have to “show off” their strengths. Only weak minds fall for it.
Fuck @politico.com nazi-appeasing fascist mutherfuckers
WTAF is this garbage?
Fuck you Fuck you Fuck you Fuck you Fuck you You fucking capitulation cowards. Fuck you.
"Leveraging" = "Abusing"
Are you fucking kidding?
Fuck off
disappointed that ankush khardori is part of politico. super disappointed.
MSM went crazy, talking about overreach when Biden wanted to cancel student loans. But Trump using OUR military against us? All good
Hey, losers, he's a RAPIST, A PEDOPHILE, A CON ARTIST, A FASCIST. He is not a legitimate president, and he's only human in the most basic sense of the word. Fuck off with your kiss-ass reporting. You have orange shit all over your face and you stink.
Have you considered using accurate phrasing for this headline. Maybe one of the following words: fascism, authoritarianism, despotism, or other similar works. Stop manufacturing consent for a fascist regime.
Totalitarianism
What a load of flaccid milquetoast wankfail.
Vomitus galore.🤢🤢🤮🤮
I will add one more 🤮
This is so embarrassing
Will you use similar phrasing when they lock up journalists when they don't conform like in this piece?
You guys are gross.
Wtf, Politico. Way to reframe authoritarianism as normal.
I know you’re owned by a Nazi but come on
Actually, let me fix this for you. “President Trump is leveraging his role as dictator in a much clearer more urgent way than during his first term……” stop normalizing this bullshit
Youre a disease
Do I have to click on this article to find out that when you say “leveraging his role,” you really meant “violating the United States Constitution”? STOP SANEWASHING.
Amazing headline writing. 👏🙄
What is a “politico” anyhow? What is the purpose of a “politico” when adversarial democracy is devoured by an autocrat? Change the name of your magazine to “supplicant.”
Tiger Beat on the Potomac going Full Weimar. Fuck all of you
Well at least we know as Trump stated to a fallen soldier's widow during his first term they know what they've signed up for.
Bootlickers. Trash publication.
Fuck you.
Gross.
@politico.com carrying water for the arsonist with a hose.
Shame on you!
What the hell is this shit?
Eat shit nazi fuck
Why chose be complicit in the downfall of America?
His Excellency, President for Life, Field Marshal Al Hadji Doctor Idi Amin Dada, VC, DSO, MC, Lord of All the Beasts of the Earth and Fishes of the Seas and Conqueror of the British Empire in Africa in General and Uganda in Particular is leveraging his role as commander-in-chief in a much
clearer and more urgent way than during his first term — whether that’s showing off the military in a parade or using it to quell protests.
His Majesty, Emperor Hirohito is leveraging his role as commander-in-chief in a much clearer and more urgent way than during his first term — whether that’s showing off the military in a parade or using it to quell protests.
"Il Duce" is leveraging his role as commander-in-chief in a much clearer and more urgent way than during his first term — whether that’s showing off the military in a parade or using it to quell protests.
Chancellor Hitler is leveraging his role as commander-in-chief in a much clearer and more urgent way than during his first term — whether that’s showing off the military in a parade or using it to quell protests.
"This is the day that Hitler truly became Chancellor"
You can have your staff write all the flowery and flattering captions you want, it doesn't make the orange slob any less of a dictator-wannabe. We see you Politico. Enjoy the ratio.
When did Politico become such a fascist bootlicker publication?
Putting @nytpitchbot.bsky.social out of work
When the media thinks @nytpitchbot.bsky.social is a how to.
President Trump is leveraging his role as POTUS in a clearer and more urgent cash grab than during his first term. He is also rather urgently,and effectively, taking a sledgehammer to democracy. Meanwhile the press celebrates his every move towards authoritarianism. 👏
Fuck off, fascist enablers.
My sentiments exactly. Fascist pieces of flaming shit.
Seriously, Politico, do better. This is a weak-sauce take.
the cowardice of the media is breathtaking
Nazi Germany produced many propaganda films to promote their ideology, inc those focusing on the rise of the Nazi Party, the virtues of the Nazi ideal, and demonizing their enemies. These include "Triumph of the Will," "The Eternal Jew," "Jud Süß," and "Der Marsch zum Führer." Now there's Politico.
What is this horseshit?
"Lean in"...wow...can you soft sell this to me more please. I am sick of the scared media...either fight or get out of the way.
You're one of the fascists now, politicos.
How does that fascist ass taste? You getting in there good? Stormy says Trump likes three fingers.
You absolute wankers
Jesus Christ.
Are you all absolutely joking with this piece?? And legitimizing this blatant authoritarian power grab it with a softy quote from SEAN SPICER of all people??
I love it how you just moved by the fascism to be like “this stuff is cool”
🖕
Please fuck the fuck off with this authoritarian bootlicking.
I guess Hitler also had his supporters.
Y'all are fucking insane writing this shit.
You do realize what you’re describing here is flat-out fascism, don’t you?
You should all be ashamed of yourselves
leverage deez nuts with your mouth
Reads like a paid for by bootlickers for trump tv ad.
@nytpitchbot.bsky.social this u?
“leans in” ffs He’s a crime machine He’s violating his oath and so are you clowns!
Politico is leveraging their role as a political news outlet in a much clearer and more obvious way than it did in Trump’s first term — whether it’s showing off their ass-licking chops or using it to whitewash fascism.
What the actual fuck is wrong with y’all
Wow. Quite the whitewashing in this article.
Eat shit.
You are such assholes
lol Pitchbot on 🔥🔥 today
This is an all-timer for ya’ll, and you’ve produced some wild shit in the past. Embarrassing.
Oh my god how embarrassing.
Nazi propaganda. Fuck off. Even fucking Rolling Stone is calling your collaborating asses out. Guess what happens to collaborators?
Wow POLITICO continues its repellent record of being a Trump fanzine, calling his Nazi, tyrant use of the military to crush protests "leaning in". It's amazing how many legacy media outlets have finally come out as sympathetic to Nazism.
whatever underpaid or unpaid intern helped them post this feckless dogshit should re-evaluate their life choices
Bylines are: MEGAN MESSERLY, JACK DETSCH and PAUL MCLEARY. Those are the three people who traded in their “journalism career” for puff pieces flattering a Nazi
Only Megan and Paul have accounts here but they have not been around for weeks. I hope their kids are ashamed of them for working for Politico and writing this crap.
Blocking them now
Their kids are probably Blues Lives Matter dipshits like Jake Tapper's son.
Blocked. This is the opposite of journalism.
I remember when Megan worked for Jon Ralston. He was so excited and predicated great things for her when she got this job. I wonder what he thinks now.
Yeah, WTAF @meganmesserly.bsky.social? You did good work at @thenvindy.com, how could you put your name on this trash? 🤦🏻♀️
#Trump-leaning. Special shoes.
Well said
This is exactly what you’d expect from a media outlet run by a Axel Springer nazi sympathizer
Who runs it? The journos are dopes. So's their editor. Violating constitutional and statutory constraints on his powers as commander in chief is now leaning in on being commander in chief? Who knew? They and @politico.com should be laughed out of Washington for it. www.politico.com/news/2025/06...

Fuck this framing and fuck you for framing it like this.
Unfollowed
Same
Same.
Ditto
Same.
In 1934 Hitler replaced the German Army's oath to the constitution with an oath to himself. Was that also 'clearer and more urgent leveraging'?
Crime syndicate ramps up criminal/authoritarian behavior. That's your headline you fascist enablers.
You should be fucking embarrassed for posting this But clearly since you show fealty to Trump - embarrassment is something you will never have
The felon, draft dodger and coward in chief thinks all us vets are losers for serving the greater good while he is trying to use us for his own personal gain. Wake up service members and don’t commit illegal act or violate your oath to the constitution. He is the domestic threat!
Fucking hell, just swallow the entire boot while you're there, why don't you?
Why is an obese pedophilic conman running the country into the ground?
Wow. Complete Trump propaganda here
You are rightly getting ratioed.
Jesus Politico - get your head out of the sand and take a look around
Your servility is truly nauseating
Or to enrich himself and his family. You forgot to mention that angle. Because that's his first priority.
Leaning in on the trains running on time You guys
in the spirit of the digital marketplace of ideas: slob my nuts
I would think a lot of authoritarians present things clearer and more urgently.
Is Politico becoming official state media? Sycophantic articles like this make me think so.
Hacks
This piece does not come off the way you think it does
Your daily reminder that Politico is owned by a far-right German who has supported neo-Nazi candidates in his homeland.
Your complicity will not protect you.
🎯
Insurrectionists can't be president. Either #J6 wasn't an insurrection, or the Constitution isn't the Law. Or calling him "commander in chief" is providing aid and comfort to a Traitor. Those are the only 3 options.
He is an insurrectionist, but the BRIBED SCOTUS ignored the Constitution when they said he could run. It doesn’t say “convicted of inciting an insurrection”. It say “participated in” an insurrection. Incitement is participation.
They actually ruled Colorado could NOT remove him from the ballot, precluding other States from doing the same. A horrible decision and deeply unconstitutional: States individually run their elections for good reasons. FWIW, lol: our tabulators are known hackable.
Yes I know. That’s clearly the opposite of what the constitution says. They are a CRIMINAL ILLEGITIMATE SCOTUS. Yes and there is evidence the election tabulation machines were hacked in the 7 swing states, but gawd forbid anyone should investigate the ACTUAL CRIMINAL REPUBLICANS.
Blue states should start telling SCOTUS to fuck off. POTUS and red states like Alabama are doing exactly that right now.
Agree 100%. I would. I’d simply say your “bullshit ruling” violates the constitution so stick your ruling up your ass.
🎯
Essentially happening now.
You spelled dictator wrong.
Shame on you
Good god stop it
Trump trying to turn the US Military into his personal army is deeply gross and un-American and you, the person posting this to the Politico social media accounts, know it.
One gets the sense Politico is keen on cozying up to fascist power.
When your rag goes out of business and every single person there is jobless, nobody will mourn.
“President Trump is Acting Like A Dictator” Fixed your headline.
Hey bootlickers, WW2 is over and the Yahtzees lost! What is this nonsense?
What a disgusting take, Politico.
Is this written by one of those broken LLMs we keep hearing about?
The fourth estate is now a wholly owned property of the oligarchy.
leveraging my role as mommy's special boy by asking for a Spider-Man party for my birthday
Fascist propaganda outlet.
‼️🥴 It often happens on a dark street - someone demonstrates strength, but sometimes gets punched in the face... 🪖🗽 The army is to protect the interests of the people, not to attack the people. 🇺🇸😡 It is unfortunate that in a country of emigrants, emigrants attack emigrants.
LOL You all really don’t understand what’s happening in America. You *think* you do, but that’s only because you agree with much of Trump’s bigotry & racism towards “the others.” But just know that continuing to kiss his ass will not save any of you when his focus & his anger returns to the press.
Jesus Christ on a stick with this framing. Just ouch!
*as despot FIFY
Ummm…. Which homeschooled intern currently studying at Liberty U wrote this?
Utter pandering horseshit!
You guys are pathetic bootlickers and enablers of an authoritarian state.
He "leans in"? Are f-in kidding me? Trump has already expressed a desire to shoot civilians. You should be posting every day "Trump has to go" , not this weak tea.
Phoot the poop!
You fucking traitors.
All the conspiracies about the media being told by owners to be friendly to trump and whitewash trump’s authoritarian lawlessness being proven correct.
do you ever worry that youre going to hell
I assume your billionaire owner made you write this? What a rag your publication has turned out to be. Just worthless.
What the fuck? Y'all have lost the plot. Trump is a fascist dictator. Wake up!
Better to mute Politico and their ilk entirely than allow them to soften the actions of a tyrant who's abusing us.
Someone should shit in your mouth. You've earned it.
Gestapolitico
How is this NOT a NYTPitchbot post?!
don't neglect the balls while you're down there, politico
Sac garglers
Hey dipshits, that’s just being a fascist. You sound like he’s planning Normandy.
Why do you hate freedom?
Still afraid to just say it, huh?
You have to be joking with headline.
Correction- leans in as ruthless dictator
This article is TRASH!
Good Germans at Politico. "Adolf Hitler is leveraging his role as commander-in-chief in a much clearer and more urgent way."
Why don't you just post a picture of Politico's editorial staff actually kissing Taco Trump's bloated butt? Sheesh. Talk about bending the knee .....
Yes please!
I think you meant that tRump is leveraging his role as commander-in-chief as a much clearer dictator.
Eat shit freaks.
You sniveling little shits. How dare you call yourselves journalists.
Whether that's wasting hundreds of millions of taxpayer dollars to throw himself a birthday party with real tanks, or to abuse and terrify several hundred law-abiding citizens who just want his masked and armed thugs to stop kidnapping innocent people.
youtu.be/HSvQT-tkiBw?...
So @politico.com is just openly fascist now, huh? Good to know.
🎶 His boots are make for lickin’ And that’s just what we’ll do We’re gonna lick his boots as his boots Walk all over you 🎵
WTAF? The thought this was the NYT Pitchbot
Smells like fascism. 🤔
Y’all complicit in all this 👀
😘🍑
Lick that boot.
😒
What the fuck is wrong with you people….cucks.
How’s trumps taint taste? Fucking losers. 👎👎👎👎 Collaborators.
Do you fucking hear yourself
