Former Republican Rep. Ron Paul blasted the presidential hopeful, Donald Trump for being authoritarian on Alan Colmes Show recently.
Pauls comments about Trump came about when he was asked if Donald Trump was good or bad for the Republican Party, to which Paul replied, chuckling, Well I dont even care whether hes good or bad for the Republican party. I dont have much interest in that per se. But, I think hes a dangerous person and a lot of people find him kind of funny and they love him, even libertarian types love him
When Colmes presses Paul to explain why Trump is so dangerous, Paul states:
Well, they like him because he is so disruptive to the party system, and I enjoy that too! But, I think he is a man .if conditions deteriorate, which they can people want to be told what to do And I know what the answer is, and Ill do this, and I am the man to this. he comes across very welland people listen to him and I believe that he may be raising white horses on questions and hes going to ride in
Paul went on further to say that Trump is the virtual opposite of what a libertarian is, Hes an authoritarian and he claims thats how hes made all his money. So, I see that as dangerous.
A few months ago, when Trump made his announcement that he would be running for president, he wasted no time in asserting his authority in his speech. He said,
I will stop Iran from getting nuclear weapons. And we wont be using a man like Secretary Kerry that has absolutely no concept of negotiation, whos making a horrible and laughable deal, whos just being tapped along as they make weapons right now and then goes into a bicycle race at 72-years-old and falls and breaks his leg. I wont be doing that. And I promise, I will never be in a bicycle race that I can tell you.
Because Trump isn’t one of your D.C. con-servatives from the D.C. federation of frauds, who’ve gang banged middle America for decades.
If ya don’t get it by now, ya never will.
