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.”

I’m cool with that. And I hope he starts throwing the enemy out of helicopters like Pinochet. But I doubt he will, because he’s a decent man.

The dictator is in the oval office now.
Their problem is.. God.
Plain and simple.
Like young folks with Christian parents.. Living like the devil VS being good citizens.
They want to live in any fashion.. And certainly without rules or laws.
They want the border wide open and millions entering, unknown.
They want Joe to make them drive the car he designates.
They want to cut their income and pay more for everything they buy.
They want a president who snuggles women and girls.
They want a president who lies so much, it’s obvious..
They want a weak president
They want a president who launders money and keeps it.
They who have called Trump a dictator.. You are weak and ignorant. You have let others tell you who Joe and Trump are, and you are satisfied to agree with whomever, instead of finding your own truth.
You dont want your conscience pricked with knowing and doing the right thing.
You are comfortable with half okay and the rest loose and of the world.

The only people that are fearful of Trump are the ones that have subverted the government.

Reasonable to assume that Matthew is gay.

Just use the Buzz words, time tested, to slur any political enemy. Words to use: “Dictator,” “Hitler,” “Stalin” “Racist,” “Zealot,” “Nazi,” or the best—”Christian.”

Chris Matthews is going over the edge again. Trump already served four years and he never became Hitler.

Trump left the White House on inauguration day just like every President in the last hundred years, and he never became a dictator. And Trump's not going to be a dictator this time either.

Here's what we think: the Chris Matthews will become a violent drunk and kill a family in an auto accident. That Joe and Mika will split up - with Mika becomeing a whore and Joe killing himself.

Nothing I said about the Morning Joe crew can be backed up with facts - it's just meanness. Which is the exact same thing Chris Matthews is doing here. It mean, evil and Matthews know he can't be sued because Trump's a public figure. Which is NOT an excuse ...We're all sick of white liberal elite haters... Sick of these horrible people - these two bit liars.

Oh and Chris - The people who vote for Trump aren't members of a cult either. We're American citizens who think he would do a better job running the country than Biden. So, eff you on that one too.

You mean Trump might stand in front of a dark and red backdrop, with an armed service member in the background, while threatening his political enemies?

Cannot imagine that happening in THIS country. /s

Why is it “reasonable to assume” that Trump will just automatically “become a dictator”? Of course, it all hinges upon the definition of “dictator”, which has in recent times become a kind of pejorative term.

The Latin title dictator, from the time of the Roman Republic, designated a temporary magistrate who was granted extraordinary powers in order to deal with state crises. Once the crisis was resolved, the assigned individual relinquished the title, and the normal functions of government were returned to the legitimate leadership.

Only, something happened on the way to the Roman Forum. Somehow, the crisis never got resolved, and new ones kept cropping up in its wake, making even more draconian measures “necessary”, and perpetuated itself by feeding on the continuing new hardships.

Now, Trump came to the table with every intention of wiping out the excess of critical issues, and he was doing a good job. But somehow, once he was off the stage, the same old issues reared up again and began their rampage through the land.

You tell me, do we need a dictator? Only if the crises stop once and for all.

Well if they thought the conviction in NY was going to hold, they sure wouldn’t be pushing the Trump as dictator narrative.
