The Orlando Sentinel's brutal front page headline about Donald Trump's latest threats against his enemies went viral because, sadly, it's a rare example of actual journalism.

The Orlando Sentinel went viral for a simple front page headline about former President Donald Trump's latest threats against his political opponents—and sadly, it's a rare example of actual journalism.

On Saturday morning, Trump took to Truth Social to threaten individuals he claims are engaged in unethical conduct tied to voting in the 2024 election with prison time, insinuating without proof that the election could be rigged against him. His statement, shared on Truth Social, marks his clearest indication yet that he will not accept the November outcome if defeated. In reality, cases of voter fraud are exceptionally rare.


He wrote:

"CEASE & DESIST: I, together with many Attorneys and Legal Scholars, am watching the Sanctity of the 2024 Presidential Election very closely because I know, better than most, the rampant Cheating and Skullduggery that has taken place by the Democrats in the 2020 Presidential Election. It was a Disgrace to our Nation!"
"Therefore, the 2024 Election, where Votes have just started being cast, will be under the closest professional scrutiny and, WHEN I WIN, those people that CHEATED will be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the Law, which will include long term prison sentences so that this Depravity of Justice does not happen again."
"We cannot let our Country further devolve into a Third World Nation, AND WE WON’T! Please beware that this legal exposure extends to Lawyers, Political Operatives, Donors, Illegal Voters, & Corrupt Election Officials."
"Those involved in unscrupulous behavior will be sought out, caught, and prosecuted at levels, unfortunately, never seen before in our Country."

Then first thing Monday, The Orlando Sentinel called these threats exactly what they are, publishing the following headline on the front page of their September 9 edition:

"Trump threatens to jail adversaries"

In a time when many prominent media outlets—including The New York Times and CNN—have faced accusations that they've spent years sugarcoating and employing passive language while reporting what historians, journalists, and policymakers have explicitly outlined as the clear and present danger Trump poses to our democratic institutions, the paper's headline is a breath of fresh air.

Many appreciated the headline's directness and criticized Trump's latest attempt to sow doubt about the integrity of the upcoming election.


For days, Trump's allies have urged him to focus on key issues like the economy, immigration, and national security, while steering clear of the combative behavior that could reinforce Harris's message that the nation needs to move past the divisiveness and turmoil he embodies for many voters.

He issued his remarks on the eve of tonight's presidential debate, which is scheduled for 9 p.m. ET. ABC News will broadcast the debate live on both its main network and its streaming service, ABC News Live, as well as on Disney+ and Hulu. Additionally, multiple other networks have agreed to air the event in real time.

According to The Washington Post, Harris spent the past four days immersed in an intensive “debate camp” at Pittsburgh’s Omni William Penn Hotel. Her team recreated a mock debate stage, enlisted an experienced Trump stand-in to deliver harsh attacks and inflammatory remarks, and subjected the Vice President to hours of rehearsed questions.

Meanwhile, about 330 miles away at his Bedminster, New Jersey golf club, Trump opted for “policy sessions” with aides and allies over traditional debate practice. In recent weeks, he has attended about a half-dozen of these sessions, supposedly zeroing in on Harris’s policy record.

Despite Trump's long history of attacking political rivals on the debate stage, Republicans, including his press secretary Karoline Leavitt, have insisted without evidence that Trump is "one of the most effective debaters in modern political history" and can be trusted to follow debate rules.
