Former MSNBC host Mehdi Hasan used comments, claims and threats from presumptive GOP nominee Donald Trump and his allies to predict how bad and fascistic a possible second Trump White House would be.
Hasan described the video for his new media venture Zeteo as one of the most important segments Ive ever made. On X, formerly Twitter, the clip garnered more than 1.6 million views in its first 16 hours alone.
The journalist teed up the explainer of what could happen in the first 100 days of a second Trump administration: If youre one of those people, even on the left, who isnt that concerned by the prospect of a Trump second term that it wont be that bad, that we survived Trump the first time round then this next segment is for you.
Hasan then urged viewers to picture the scene on Jan. 20, 2025, the day of Trumps second inauguration, when he would launch the dictatorship hes talked about immediately closing the U.S.-Mexico border and invoking the Insurrection Act to quell mass protests.

In one of the most important segments I've ever made, & using Trump & Trump aides' *own* words & pledges, I lay out, for #MehdiUnfiltered, what a Trump first 100 days could look like in 2025. How bad, fascistic it would be.https://t.co/8g57sEoG8C pic.twitter.com/wXqVg7rEEB
