Urgent Action Needed: Address President Trump's Threatening Video

To: Rep. Williams, Sen. Cruz, Sen. Cornyn

I am writing to express my deep concern over President Donald Trump's recent actions and to urge immediate measures to protect American citizens. On Saturday night, President Trump shared a disturbing AI-generated video on Truth Social that portrays him as "King Trump" piloting a fighter jet and dropping large amounts of feces on New York City, specifically targeting peaceful protesters. This 19-second clip is not merely a tasteless attempt at humor; it represents a serious threat to American citizens exercising their First Amendment rights. The video incorporates real footage of protesters, including left-wing influencer Harry Sisson, effectively putting a target on their backs. This is an unconscionable act by the 47th President of the United States. The implications of this video are profoundly troubling. It normalizes violence against dissenters, mocks the foundations of our democracy by depicting Trump as a king, and trivializes the use of military force against American citizens. Senator Brian Schatz has already questioned why Trump would post such an image, highlighting the bipartisan concern over this behavior. We cannot afford to dismiss this as mere online antics. President Trump's influence remains significant, and his actions have real-world consequences. The ongoing 'No Kings' protests against Trump demonstrate that many Americans are already alarmed by his authoritarian tendencies. This video only serves to escalate tensions and potentially incite violence. I urge you to take immediate action. We need a formal condemnation of President Trump's behavior from Congress, an investigation into whether this constitutes a threat against American citizens, and serious consideration of invoking the 14th Amendment to address this grave situation. The safety of American citizens and the integrity of our democratic processes are at stake. We must act swiftly and decisively to address this threat. Our nation's future depends on your leadership in this critical moment.
