Dem lawmaker says Trump 'has in many respects become a dictator'
The Hill ^ | May 8, 2019 | Justin Wise

Rep. Jackie Speier (D-Calif.) said Wednesday that President Trump's attempts to block Congress from performing its oversight function is indicative of his growing authoritarianism.

"They’re throwing every obstacle in our way because the president has in many respects become a dictator," Speier said on CNN. "He is trying to prevent Congress from doing its oversight action, and we won’t accept that."

Speier's comments came as tensions continue to escalate between Democrats and the Trump administration over special counsel Robert Mueller's report into Russia's election interference and whether Trump committed obstruction of justice.

And yet... one can call him a dictator without anything happening to them. Worst “dictator” ever.

Speier is a unstable whack job. It’s too bad that her fellow socialists at Jonestown didn’t finish her. It would have been better for the country.

I wish these DemocRATs would explain exactly in what ways Trump is being dictatorial. Because, frankly, regular people just don’t see it.

Also, I did not realize that trying to overthrow the duly elected President of the United States was, in fact, “oversight.” These same idiots did not care one whit when Obama actually committed unconstitutional acts, such as Obamacare or using executive order to bypass border laws.

Perhaps if Trump treated these pieces of sh*t like a real dictator would, they would realize how blessed they are to live in America..start throwing these commie journalists in jail, since they love Maduro so much I doubt they would mind

HA!HA!HA!HA!HA!HA!!!!

Trump doesn’t even have the REPUBLICAN party behind him..

No Democrats, maybe a handful of Republicans...

But he has the majority of the AMERICAN VOTING PUBLIC behind him.

These idiots really do believe it all belongs to THEM, don’t they?

Zero of the “many respects” named, as expected.

kinda like saying your parent is a dictator when they tell you to follow family or house rules? It’s basically all Trump is doing.

Don't worry Jackie, Jones will turn over Jonestown funding to us, if he knows what's good for him.

Should read, “ In many respects, Trump is actually standing up to us, and refusing to show fear, and we can’t have that! “
