Donald Trump is an autocrat and admires other autocrats: Putin, Xi, Kim. He has said it is ok with him if Russia invades NATO countries and says he intended to take us out of NATO and would not send assistance to Ukraine. He said he’d like to be president for life like XI, exchange complimentary letters to Kim and said he saw no problem if Putin killed his opponents because we killed enemies. Anyone who is a political opponent often met with untimely deaths (Navalny) and the poisoning of a political opponent in England and others who fell from high rise balconies. We have had autocrats in our country so Trump is not the first. Father Coughlin had a radio program where he attacked Jews. Senator Joseph McCarthy who attacked many people including employes in the State Department. He brandished papers saying in his hand he had a list of communists in the State Department. He never published the list; it could have been a grocery list for all we know. From him we got the House Unamerican Activities Committee. “Are you now or have you ever been a member of the communist party?” (It was not illegal to belong to the communist party.) But to be called before the committee, meant ruin for those called. Next Govenor George Wallace who championed segregation and ran for President. Trump intends to turn our country into an authoritarian country. More to come.
