"SNIP............

Donald Trump ramped up his rhetoric over the weekend in ways that even made many Republicans uncomfortable.

Here’s a recap:

* On Friday, Trump pledged to prosecute Google for showing bad stories about him, while “only revealing good stories” about Kamala Harris.

* On Saturday, Trump called Harris “mentally impaired” and said Fox News should be barred from airing speeches by Harris.

* On Sunday, Trump called for “one real rough, nasty” and “violent day” of police retaliation to bring down crime.

* Trump also raged on Truth Social throughout the weekend and said Harris “should be impeached, prosecuted, or both.”
