Trump’s coup plan: Bombshell Time interview exposes drive ‘to destroy system for his own purposes’

Time magazine published a new interview with Donald Trump where they asked him serious, probative questions about what a second Trump presidency would actually look like. From a dictatorship only on day one, to migrant detention camps, plus using the Comstock Act to ban abortion, and policing protesters by deploying the National Guard, critics call it, “dark stuff.”

Should people who openly reject the Constituion be eligible to run for office? I THINK NOT.

Dump needs to go to jail! And not be EVER let near the WH again!

A lot of people died and gave up so much for the Constitution, for trump to come along and wipe his A$$ with it.

How dictatorships begin:
- Take control of a mainstream political party ✔️
- Have large donors ✔️
- Have important media support ✔️
- Have irregular militia ✔️
- Have support in the Judiciary ✔️
All 5 conditions are met.
This will be the most important vote at least since the civil war.

What people don't understand is when you take others rights away then your rights will be taken after that

[KevinJonah]

If people think this is normal, wow I underestimated the stupidness of the educated

[conradsurak]

I always thought that that guy from Germany must have been a very charismatic liar but we see that if you give people permission to be their worst selves, they'll lie to themselves for you

It would be a dire mistake to automatically assume that Trump's stated agenda and the looming prospect of a fascist dictatorship is repellent to the majority of Americans that bother to vote.

It won't matter until money is eliminated from politics.

Signs of a sociopath
• behavior conflicting with social norms, repeatedly pushes the envelope into uncharted territory.
• disregarding or violating the rights of others, insubordinate to any form of authority.
• unconcerned in distinguishing between right and wrong.
• inability to show remorse, for they have none, void of empathy.
• tendency to lie often, repeatedly, automatically.  Behaves in a risky, impulsive, dangerous manner.
• extremely manipulative, exploits others without any care of who gets hurt.
• no conscience or guilt, refusal to accept responsibility for their actions, claiming ownership in the success of others.

To quote former United States President Theodore Roosevelt:
"No man is above the law and no man is below it; nor do we ask any man's permission when we ask him to obey it. Obedience to the law is demanded as a right, not asked as a favor."  "The judges who administer justice in our countries must be seen as ethical and subject to meaningful correction when it is necessary. Nothing less than the rule of law is at stake."

Watching this from the UK and it’s utterly terrifying. I pray for your country.

Let's not surrender our country to a third rate Mussolini.

The government is to act for America and the people . NOT for him, as Trump implied in the interview.

[philipcollier]

"Dictator for a day" is just like playing "just the tip."

[ritawatters]

I hope everyone shares this it is so frightening and I don’t live in USA how can this be even allowed to happen

[blancalex]

This interview in TM should be a convicting document to prevent any sane American to drop a ballot for him

[terrencekane]

Nikki Haley got 20% of the GOP vote in the Pa primary last Tuesday. Across the country even republicans won't vote for Trump. He's toast.

[blitzroehre]

If Trump tell you what he wants to do, BELIEVE HIM!!
