Former Secretary of State Madeleine Albright is warning of a looming worldwide political threat. In her new book, "Fascism: A Warning," she argues contemporary world leaders are turning to the same tactics used by fascists like Adolf Hitler and Benito Mussolini nearly a century ago. "We should be awake to the assault on democratic values that has gathered strength in many countries abroad and that is dividing America at home," she writes.
Albright pointed to politics in countries like Hungary, Turkey, the Philippines, Poland and Venezuela.
She also addresses President Trump in her book, writing: "If we think of fascism as a wound from the past that had almost healed, putting Trump in the White House was like ripping off the bandage and picking at the scab."
"I think Trump is the most undemocratic president I have ever seen in American history. And so that's what worries me. But I do think that we all need to pay attention, which is why I'm – this is a warning. That's what the book is about," Albright said. But she made it clear that she was not calling Mr. Trump a fascist.
Among them, she said: attacking the press, "which is central to having a democracy"; acting "as though he's above the law"; not respecting the rights of others; and providing "a lot of simplistic answers to questions."
As for Mr. Trump's response to the FBI raiding the offices of his personal lawyer, Michael Cohen, and calling it an "attack on our country," Albright said: "I find that ridiculous."
"We can't have a leader that feels that he is above the law. The law and the rule of law is the most essential part of a democratic system," she said.

Nice job you did with North Korea half-bright!!
Sounds like the MSM is starting another Bombing Run on Trump
Go clean this room.
Madeleine Not-so-bright.
But her remarks are not out of stupidity. It has to do with her Marxist bent.
She’s just ticked that the real fascists, namely her and the rest of the Democrat party, are currently out of power.
What law is Trump accused of violating?
There is a reason she was nicknamed “half-bright”
“If we think of fascism as a wound from the past that had almost healed, putting Trump in the White House was like ripping off the bandage and picking at the scab.”
Dear Mz.Halfbrite, that’s called wound debridement.
Has anyone seen her mop?
She’s lost without it.
Albright is the icon for jump the shark.
Albright’s part of the Albright Stonebridge consulting group, as was a classified document thief and archives destroyer known as Sandy Berger.
Puppet and mouthpiece for Bubba "The Rapist" Clinton and the kenyan usurper Hussein "Bathhouse Barry" 0bama.
They didn't call her Maddie "Half Bright" for nothing!
We can’t have a leader that feels that he is above the law...................................... Clintons, Kennedy’s, and Obamas come to mind, not Trump.
Odd how this moron misses the irony of her saying this after her support for Obama who actually ruled with a “pen and a phone”
Undemocratic:
Anyone who doesn’t believe what the left believes.
Subject to change.
Ms. Maddie is as full of $hit as a Christmas turkey. I defy any of these Marxist scum to point to a single thing that Trump has done to warrant this hyperbolic horse $hit. Aside from winning the election and depriving them of their queen, that is.
All these lefties calling PDJT “undemocratic” and a “fascist” without citing any examples of undemocratic or fascist policies of this president. They offer nothing but a talking point. Someone please tell me what makes this president undemocratic or fascist.
She’s right about one thing. The world is full of fascists. But she doesn’t know which ones they are, and never did.
She thought that the North Koreans were the good guys.
Not to mention Johnson and FDR, both of whom whose antics made those of Richard Nixon look like that of a choirboy by comparison.
