Trump wants to be a dictator

Posted

A letter recently appeared in the WVT which contended that Trump, if reelected, would not be a dictator, and those who fear that he will, do not understand him.

Nonsense! Trump has already announced plans to undermine The Department of Justice, the rule of law and to consolidate and expand his Presidential power. He stated that he wants to “repeal” parts of the Constitution. That’s what dictators do! He has declared war on the free press and his political opponents. That’s what dictators do! He’s surrounded himself with a gaggle of sycophants and authoritarians. That’s what dictators do!

He stands accused of 91 felonies, and rather than face the charges with integrity, he attacks the judges, prosecutors and the legal system. That’s what dictators do!

Please spare me the whining about how he’s not inclined to be a dictator and look at the facts. The supremacy of law is doomed if Trump is reelected.
