  • As the country braces for Donald Trump's looming return to the White House - and the potential for the incoming president to unleash vengeance on his perceived enemies - a New York attorney who found himself on Richard Nixon's "enemies list" is sounding the alarm for critics of the incoming president.

The article discusses the experiences of Ken Grossinger, who was targeted by President Richard Nixon's infamous "enemies list" in the 1970s. Grossinger, now a political consultant, reflects on how Nixon used the IRS and other government agencies to harass and intimidate his political opponents. He warns that critics of former President Donald Trump might face even harsher repercussions if Trump were to return to office, given Trump's more aggressive tactics and the current political climate. Grossinger highlights the potential for increased weaponization of government power against dissenters, suggesting that Trump's approach could be more severe than Nixon's due to changes in political norms and the influence of social media. He advises Trump's critics to prepare for legal battles and to document any instances of harassment or intimidation.
