Matthews: ‘Reasonable to Assume’ if Elected Trump Will Become a Dictator
Breitbart ^ | 06/05/2024 | Pam Key

Posted on 06/05/2024 12:13:12 PM PDT by ChicagoConservative27

Long-time political commentator Chris Matthews said Wednesday on MSNBC’s “Morning Joe” that it was “very reasonable to assume” former President Donald Trump will become a dictator if elected.

After discussing former President Lyndon B. Johnson, Matthews added, “This is the opposite of Donald Trump, who wants to put them before firing squads basically. He wants put them all in jail. He’s unbelievable the way he talks about his opponents. This is exactly the choice we have a dictatorship, or a democracy. We have to choose. This election is about more than abortion, it is about the whole question of what kind of government we’re going to have? What kind of country do we want to live in, do we have a dictator who tells the U.S. Congress don’t do anything about the border, don’t do anything, let it rock ‘n’ roll, let thousands come through between now and election day, it doesn’t matter if they stay here forever, as long as we win the election.”

He added, “He’s going to talk like that to the Supreme Court. He would love to see them give him immunity, he would love to get that. He’s probably counting on it in this trial in New York too, about the hush money. He’s probably working on some back room plan to somehow speed this to the Supreme Court and let Alito and that incredible coup they pulled off there against Judge Roberts. Alito is running the show. So, you never know what can happen with his five members. I’m telling you, Trump could end up rolling the score. ‘I’ve got the Congress and the Supreme Court, I own it all, I am a dictator.’ It is very reasonable to assume that’s where he’s headed.”

Yeah, maybe he will make up for it in the next term.

Chris Matthews is in dire need of mental help.

More bizarre delusion by the left.

Except for mean tweets, he ran a rather moderate administration than I expected or wanted.

He didn’t even try to put HRC or any other dems in jail. He didn’t stack the DOJ with loyalists — he mainly left Obama’s a$$holes in charge.

But he did do two unforgivable things — he actually tried to stem the invasion on the southern border.

And he did the other unforgivable — he did not start a single stupid war and was unenthusiastic about another war in Ukraine.

And he appointed non-left-wing activist justices to the Supreme Court.

But none of those things make a dictator.

Unless “dictator” (like “Nazi” or “racist”) just means someone Chris Matthews disagrees with.

Hissy is so full of $h!+ it looks like he is ready to explode. I wish I could say his ilk are just kooks. Unfortunately, they are morally unrestrained ideologues willing to say ANYTHING, no matter how absurd, to placate their sugar-daddy masters and collect their dirty, ill-gotten gain.

Trump wasn’t a dictator the first time around. He won’t be this time around either.

It gives me great satisfaction watching these clowns realize that their days on this earth are numbered. Yes, indeed, pain and punishment is coming.

Chris “Barney Rubble” Mathews knows that enormous retribution is going to be dished out on his communist brethren.

Yes, for the next four years Trump will rule as a ruthless dictator to those who oppose the MAGA agenda. We will demand it.

“Reasonable to assume” that Chrissy would blow Obama, given the chance.

Matthews is just projecting what his side would do, that’s all."

...a strong case can be made its what they are doing, J-6., Trump, Navarro, Weisselberg, Bannon....just for starters. Guns, immigration, justice..

What they’re trying to do is set up a narrative that any action taken to reel in Rat illegal & lawfare activity are the actions of a dictator. About 40%-45% of the public will buy into that. Notice it’s the same 40%-45% that mindlessly vote Rat.

It is the irresponsible blather from people like Chrissy that are going to get people hurt. These fools are playing with fire by provoking the lunatics among them to do something crazy. Perhaps that is what losers like Mathews and mourning Joe want to happen. The fools should understand that the fire they start they will not escape.
