Former Massachusetts governor William F. Weld, who is challenging President Trump as a Republican candidate in 2020, blasted the president for his attacks on democratic institutions and for stoking nationalist rhetoric as Trump seeks money for a wall along the Mexican border.
“It’s part of his strategy to try to get everybody upset, and divide the country and persuade us that we shouldn’t be patriots who love our own country and our own people,” Weld said.
Instead, “we should be nationalists who hate everybody else,” Weld said.
Weld made the remarks during an appearance on WCVB-TV’s “On The Record” with hosts Janet Wu and Maria Stephanos, which aired Sunday morning.
Trump wants to make the US a “more autocratic” nation without the need of the First Amendment or a free press, while supporting despots and attacking other democracies, Weld said.
“He’s doing what you’d expect [Russian President] Vladimir Putin to do, and I think he sees himself — everyone knows that he’s a narcissist — I think he sees himself as the man on horseback,” Weld said. “And he really doesn’t want to have primaries, and he really doesn’t want to have an election.”
But Weld, who served as governor from 1991 to 1997 and ran as a Libertarian presidential candidate in 2016, faces tall odds against Trump in a Republican primary election.
The president enjoys soaring poll numbers among Republicans -- according to one Gallup poll from earlier this month, 89 percent of Republicans approved of the job Trump is doing as president.

Weld s a sick man.
Weld is a real nut job.
Weld is another low IQ Marxist rube, a complete imbecile.
Starting with Weld. This effeminate must be broke and is trying to get campaign money from the stupid NeverTrumpers such as Kristol and Frum.
Most hate comes from the left.
Patriotism is a good thing.
Doing things for the benefit of America, and doing them the American way, is a good thing.
Lol. According to Democrats, we are deplorables who cling to our Bibles and guns. Oh and we are racist, sexist, homophobs. What other nasty things have the Democrats said about us? Ya, bullshit.
Of course this guy has nothing to say about Obozo, who green-lighted the dirtbags of his party (including the media) to wage full-on war with the cops. Hussein straight-out incited fatal ambush-attacks against police but Trump is the race-hater sending his brown-shirts on the attack, sure.
He’s a Republican.
It says a lot that the Boston Glob would print this garbage.
Weld’s tactic seems to be to turn everyone against the very idea of the existence of the United States and also against those who voted for Trump. Essentially, the same tactic that the dems have been using for the last few years.
persuade us that we shouldn’t be patriots who love our own country and our own people.
