Former aide: Trump would 'absolutely' impose some form of autocracy in second term

Alyssa Farah, an ex-aide to former President Trump, says she's deeply concerned about him potentially running in 2024, believing that, given a second term, he would undermine democracy and "weaponize" the government against his political opponents.

CNN's Jake Tapper said in a recent interview with Farah, who served as a White House communications director and assistant to the president, that Trump "challenged our institutions near to the breaking point," asking if she believed that he would try to impose "some sort of autocracy" if he returned to the Oval Office.

"I think he absolutely would," she replied. "There were things he wanted to do while in power the first time that were well beyond the scope of what the U.S. president should be able to do, but oftentimes it was simply the motivation of simply hoping to win reelection that kept him from doing things. It's very different in a second term, and I think that's what scares me the most."

Who hired these people in the first place?

[Lurker]

His name is Donald Trump. And I don’t think he will make the same mistake when he is re-elected.

Your opinion....and rectums. Everybody’s got one, ya know?

[Sarah Barracuda]

Ya mean like getting the feds to go into the home of a private citizen to get a diary of a daughter who wrote about how her father molested her and showered with her..ya mean like that..oh wait its been done..by BIDEN

[z3n]

Me too.
...and not for any of the nefarious reasons that the lefty totalitarians would. I would do it in order to root out all the marxist saboteurs, as a state of emergency. Although I can guarantee you that no one should ever want anyone to think that way, because power corrupts, and as soon as you give anyone emergency powers, the seldom relinquish them.

So, she is a has-been who is desperate to find the limelight.

Project much?

[Skywise]

You mean like the Democrats and AntiFa and BLM have already done and ARE doing?!

[Alas Babylon!]

CNN... Tapper... The question itself shows their bias and TDS malfunction.

They cannot STOP. It is their mental obsession.

[DJ MacWoW]

he would undermine democracy and "weaponize" the government against his political opponents.

You mean like the Demo-nazis do? Nobody does fascism better than Democrats.

[facedown]

I wonder how she'd describe what Brandon is doing right now?

he would undermine democracy and "weaponize" the government against his political opponents.

Where has this person been living for the last nine months?

How about diverting monoclonal antibody treatments away from Florida and Texas? Was that weaponizing government against political opponents?

How about flying border crossers into Florida in the middle of the night?

How about blocking private rescue missions into Afghanistan?

How about siccing the FBI on parents at school board meetings?

How about raiding the offices of right-wing investigative journalists?

Why don't we start there as a baseline?

Well at least she won’t fall down in a dead shock when Trump and the military step in to take charge of this disaster. 😆

Right!! And too stupid to know the left looks for useful idiots like her to move their agenda forth.....maybe she should ask President Trumps niece Mary how that’s working for her.......heehee

[hadaclueonce]

Probably working on a book deal

[KarlInOhio]

Is he going to force people to take expiremental drugs or lose their jobs, pensions and freedom? Is he going to cut domestic energy production and then cry to our frenemies in Russia and the mid-east to produce more? Is he going to raise taxes? Is he going to use the FBI against those who investigate his children? Will he threaten states who don't follow "rules" intended to allow his party to win elections no matter how many people voted for them?

Trump was constantly surrounded by backstabbers.

She’s the daughter of Joseph Farah of WorldNetDaily fame.

[I want the USA back]

biden has eliminated democracy and is using the full power of the government as a weapon against Republicans.
