Trump Amps Up ‘Dictator’ Talk In Stunning New Cabinet Meeting Rant
President
Donald Trump amped up his “dictator” talk in a new cabinet meeting rant, suggesting that Americans would accept a “dictator” in exchange for increased policing.
The president’s use of the military to police U.S. cities
came up repeatedly. Trump and his administration have supported the push with a
steady stream of
wild, and at times
unhinged claims about crime.
Trump’s policing takeover scheme has also prompted
increased chatter that Trump is
a “dictator,” a charge that Trump has weirdly leaned into while claiming he is “not a dictator.”
On Tuesday afternoon, Trump went there much more explicitly than he has before during a cabinet meeting as he repeated a false story about
Gov. Wes Moore (D-MD):
PRESIDENT DONALD TRUMP: But I met this gentleman. I never met him before. “Sir, you’re doing a great job. You’re doing an unbelievable job. Thank you very much.”
But then he goes on television and says, “Oh, Trump is a dictator. He’s a dictator.”.
And a lot of people hear it.
So the line is that I’m a dictator, but I stop crime. So a lot people say, you know, “If that’s the case, I’d rather have a dictator.”.
But I’m not a dictator. I just had to stop crime. And you would think that Illinois would have such a problem with crime, such a bad governor. He should be calling me, and he should be saying, “Could you send over the troops, please?”.
It’s out of control. It’s outta control.
Less than 24 hours earlier, Trump
made a similar suggestion during his flag-burning executive order photo op:
And they say, we don’t need him, freedom, freedom, he’s a dictator, he’s a dictator. A lot of people are saying maybe we like a dictator. I don’t like a dictator. I’m not a dictator. I’m a man with great common sense and I’m a smart person.
