I highly recommend that all readers with a strong stomach and an appreciation for history read this week’s Time interview with Donald Trump. Despite all the insane and ugly things that he has spewed for years, this interview contained his most disturbing quote.
When asked about public concerns that he talked about suspending the Constitution or being dictator for the day, his reply was, “I think a lot of people like it.” He is right and that is frightening.
The rest of the interview is a depressing but informative reminder of Trump’s complete lack of knowledge as to economics, history and reality. The point that screams out is that he is not only willing to publicly declare his authoritarian desires, he is in fact counting on that to motivate his supporters.
It’s time for decent patriotic people across the political spectrum to speak out against Trump’s un-American dictator dreams.
