Talk-show host Glenn Beck has had some interesting predictions as of late — however, his newest one takes the cake.
On his show, Beck proclaimed that if Donald Trump becomes president he would be a 'monster much, much worse than anything that Barack Obama could have dreamt.'
'(Trump) is the same narcissistic character; he is the same 'hope and change,' make America great nonsense; he is the same 'I'll run it better,' ' that President Barack Obama was eight years ago, he said.

I have tried to be kind...
Beck sucks.
"He's a loser, baby..."
Is there an Obama Care for Trump Force Trauma?
I feel sorry for him, but he needs to exit the stage and get help.
Lol!!
Count one Cruz supported appalled that this wingnut still has a voice in American media.
Hopefully Ted puts the quietus on this goofy man.
Disclaimer: I never watch or listen to Beck.
Beck makes some of the same claims I do.
DT is the alternate universe bambi in the sense of his use of intimidation, bullying and name calling of all who dare disagree. Also DT shares the quality of bambi in 2008 as said by many - DT is whatever you think he is, never mind facts - it is cult like.
If Trump were worse than Obama, Rush would know about it. He knows the man and isn't throwing a hissy fit about him.
Hyperventilate much?
LOL!
Beck sure isn’t no Rush.
As they say down South, “Well, bless his heart”.
This is the same person who asks us to treat others with dignity and compassion; i.e., the “Christian” way. Hypocrite!
Beck didn't say anything about "potential." He said it would actually happen.
I'm not a Trump fan, and I have real concerns about the guy having even a basic understanding of the Constitution, but that was just a dumb statement by Beck.
Obama had a devoted, cult-like following among intellectuals on the Left, state and local governmental officials, judges, high-ranking appointees and civil servants, etc.. All of were necessary to give his executive orders bite, to rule in his favor when his actions were challenged, etc.. Trump would come in very much as an outsider, without significant institutional support in any of the three branches of government. While I do suspect that he would want to take actions that are constitutionally impermissible or that should be barred by separation of powers, I just don't think he'd be able to get away with a lot of it. The bureaucracy would oppose him, judges would oppose him, etc..
I know what you’re saying but I respectfully disagree.
If Trump were to be elected and TRY to ‘dictate’ -LIKE obama has, we would see Congress deciding to use its CHECK powers again(remember THOSE, Congress-critters?) to reign him in.
At least Donald isn’t the anti-American that obama is.
The worst he could do is muddle things. He is not on a mission to ‘fundamentally CHANGE’ our nation down to become equal with third-world nations.
Donald may (if even elected) spend his entire term hiring and firing cabinet members like Lincoln had to do with his Generals.
It’s what Donald is known for. I don’t think it would come CLOSE to what obama has done to us.
This is highly amusing given that his candidate, Cruz, campaigned for Barack Obama’s Legacy (according to Time mag) TPA/TPP. Donald Trump certainly has never cast any U. S. Senate votes enabling Obama’s Legacy!
I’m no shrink but I predict at some point they will find Beck hanging in his closet. He needs help.
If Mr. Beck is fighting mental illness, maybe he needs our prayers instead of ridicule. Trying not to come off as self righteous here at all. And know that I just can’t take listening to him anymore. I think he truly needs intervention before he loses everything he holds dear.
100% agree and I am speaking as a recovering alcoholic. And a Cruz supporter. True recovery (as contrasted to abstinence) requires that we have someone in our life who calls us on our bullshit.
Glenn needs to call his sponsor. Stat!.
You make some very good points. The leftists in government would likely try to fight Trump unlike Obama which would help to keep his executive power in Check. I do still worry though about how Trump will handle foreign policy with his super fragile ego and his habit of completely going off on anyone who questions him.
