Big Donald is now watching you from the Department of Justice building.
On Thursday, a large banner featuring the face of President Donald Trump was hung over an entrance to the Justice Department building in Washington, D.C.
“MAKE AMERICA SAFE AGAIN,” it read below the image of Trump.
Photos of the banner went viral on social media, where critics said it gave off “1930s Germany vibes,” slammed it as “so embarrassing” and a display of authoritarianism.
MS NOW justice and intelligence correspondent Ken Dilanian wrote on X, formerly Twitter, that it was “a stunning confirmation of the grim reality, which is that Donald Trump has seized control of the once independent Justice Department and is using it to pursue his political objectives — including trying to punish his perceived enemies.” It’s “exactly what his supporters baselessly accused the previous administration of doing,” he added.
Former Rep. Barbara Comstock (R-Va.) quipped that “nothing says Justice is Blind like hanging a Dear Leader Banner at DOJ…”
And The Atlantic’s David Frum, a former speechwriter for former President George W. Bush, said: “The Trump DoJ is a pure creature of presidential whim, retribution, and cover-up ― so this banner has the virtue of candor at least.”
