Four Corners: Retribution - A two-part US election special | Starts Monday 15 July on ABC TV and ABC iview

“I am your warrior. I am your justice. And for those who have been wronged and betrayed, I am your retribution.” - Donald Trump 

There has never been a US president like Donald Trump, and now he’s back, this time with a detailed plan for his second coming.  

Nearly four years after he was cast out by voters and accused of encouraging the American people to assault their own democracy with the attack on the US Capitol, the now convicted criminal wants to rebuild the country in his own image. 

Ahead of the US election in November, Four Corners reporter Mark Willacy travels to Washington for the first of a special two-part series.  

He sits down with White House insiders who witnessed the chaos of Trump’s first term, some who continue to support his vision, and others Trump now considers “traitors”. 

Trump wants to reshape the pillars of American democracy and give himself more power. Willacy goes inside “Project 2025”, the blueprint for a second Trump term and the army of recruits ready to carry out his orders. 

Meanwhile strategy, security and defence experts warn of the impact another Trump presidency could have on America’s institutions, its democracy, and the rest of the world.

Well someone doesn't like the idea of 4 more years of The Donald

Chaotic scenes erupted after an apparent assassination attempt was made on former US president Donald Trump at a campaign rally in Pennsylvania on Saturday evening local time. 

Mr Trump was taken to hospital with a bloodied ear after a shooter fired towards the stage and at rally attendees from a nearby rooftop.

Saw a funny reply to an American question online 

Q. I am only 20 years old, how do I get a bottle of wine?
A.  Buy a gun and hold up a liquor store

If Presidential immunity stands why doesn’t Biden just execute Trump then and put us all out of our misery 

You are prescient, but typical of Old Joe, he fucked it up.

Dementia Joe to be out of the race by the weekend. The rats are bailing quickly... Obama, Chuck, and now Nancy have had heart-to-heart sit-downs with the Covid (yeah, right) stricken hold out. Fifty years sucking on the government teat means he's got dirt on them all, so the buy-out should be huge. And rumor is he won't endorse Cackles so she's on her own. This should be great!

Watched a bit of The Donald's address to the Republican Convention. What a gullible bunch of supporters he has. His dramatic re-enactment of the assassination attempt was hilarious

He recalled the moment he turned his head to look at a chart on a screen to his right, and heard a loud whizzing sound before feeling something hit him "really, really hard" on his right ear. Then, he said, there was blood, "just absolutely blood all over the place".

Cellphones, AR-15, plastic crowns and women pretending to be "pure"
