Donald Trump gave an unvarnished, in his own words account of his plans for his second term.
They are dangerous, violent, unconstitutional, and chaotic.
Here is what Trump said:
- Trump Claims “A Lot Of People Like” the Idea Of Him Ruling as a Dictator And as a Danger to the Constitution:
-
- Said “a lot of people like it” in response to a question about him being a dictator and danger to the Constitution.
- Violence If He Loses – Retribution Will Occur Against Political Enemies If He Wins:
-
- Asked if he thought violence would occur if he lost, Trump responded, “If we don’t win, you know, it depends.”
- Said he hasn’t “had a chance to do it [prosecute]” his perceived enemies, and did not reject the idea he could assassinate a political rival.
- Suggested the prosecution of his political opponents who he accused of “crimes.”
- Said he would fire a U.S. attorney who declined to prosecute someone at his direction.
- Openly said he would “get rid of bad people” and would use the military against Americans to attack protestors and rip families apart.
- The 2020 Election Was Stolen (It Wasn’t) and January 6 Wasn’t a Deadly Insurrection (It Was)
- Continued to lie that the election he lost was stolen from him.
- Would consider pardoning “every one” of the violent rioters who attacked law enforcement on January 6.
- Suggested those who don’t endorse his election lies could not serve in his administration and attacked his former staff who opposed him with childish insults.
- Said on January 6, “nobody died other than Ashli [Babbitt].”
- And So Much More:
-
- Accused the FBI of “fake,” “false,” and “fudged” numbers on crime – because they reported it was going down under Biden.
- Doubled down on his economic policies that will increase prices by about $1500 a year for working Americans and cause economic chaos.
Biden-Harris 2024 Spokesperson James Singer released the following statement:
“Not since the Civil War have freedom and democracy been under assault at home as they are today – because of Donald Trump.
“Trump is willing to throw away the very idea of America to put himself in power.
“In his own words, he is promising to rule as a dictator on ‘day one,’ use the military against the American people, punish those who stand against him, condone violence done on his behalf, and put his own revenge and retribution ahead of what is best for America. Bottom line: Trump is a danger to the Constitution and a threat to our democracy.
“Joe Biden believes democracy is still a sacred cause and his campaign is about the future America is going to build together, not one small, weak man’s delusion of a dictatorship.”
