And The Guardian, April 29: Trump warns ‘nothing will stop me’ at rally to celebrate 100 days in office
Donald Trump has celebrated his 100th day in office with a campaign-style rally in Michigan and an attack on “communist radical left judges” for trying to seize his power, warning: “Nothing will stop me.”
The limits of tyrants are prescribed by the endurance of those whom they oppress.

Otherwise,
"First They Came"
by German Lutheran pastor Martin Niemöller (1892–1984), who first backed and then opposed the Nazis and ended up in a concentration camp:
First they came for the Communists (see above: Trump's attack on “communist radical left judges”)
And I did not speak out
Because I was not a Communist
Then they came for the Socialists
And I did not speak out
Because I was not a Socialist
Then they came for the trade unionists
And I did not speak out
Because I was not a trade unionist
Then they came for the Jews
And I did not speak out
Because I was not a Jew
Then they came for me
And there was no one left
To speak out for me
