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.

Albright:
Jaba the Hut’s understudy...
Of course Donald Trump is undemocratic - HE IS A REPUBLICAN.

Good for Trump!
I can't imagine a better example of senile inconsistency, ignorance and decaying intellect!
She better be careful because when the Communists finally take over her and her kind will be the first ones put up against a wall.
She does not believe this, but she believes that the democratic voting-block this nonsense is directed at, believes it. That’s the game that’s being played.
Once again for emphasis
The USA is a Constitutional Republic
It is NOT a Democracy
Why bother? ‘The most undemocratic president in US history’ - not that anybody’s studied US history, mind you - was voted out of office in 2016 and has slunk away. You can find him cowering in a Safe Room somewhere.
Why decry Obama’s phone and pen politics now byotch?!!!
“Undemocratic” “threat to democracy” threat to ‘democratic’ values”
These are all 100% part of the Left’s line of march, that the hard Left and their Liberal/Progressive(fascist) idiot fellow travelers mouth, without identifying what exactly Trump is “undemocratic” about.
They throw the terms out as if there are self-evident “truth” requiring no factual explanation, merely “true” because they say so. And as they do, millions of sheeple across the U.S. just bow their heads in indoctrinated agreement. They don’t need any facts or explanation; it must be true just because Madeleine Halfbrite says so.
I thought madam not-so-bright was already dead! Now she raises her ugly head from under the rock.
“most undemocratic president” in US history.
That would be Obuttmunch.
Our Maxine Waters!
Berger was not the only Albright Stonebridge executive with whom Hillary Clinton had regular contact. Wendy Sherman served as vice chair of Albright Stonebridge before Clinton tapped her to join the State Department in 2011.
Sherman has been deeply involved in the Iran negotiations, and her name surfaced in several Benghazi-related emails the State Department released in May. -—
Clinton adviser on Israel [Sandy Berger] had commercial ties to Middle East

Interesting how Dems are bringing out Albright and Lynch .......those who have nothing to loose.
Madeleine Albright strikes me as Walter “49 State Loss” Mondale in drag.
“ripping off the bandage and picking at the scab.” ...........
Speaking of “scabs”, Albright definitely is one, no she is the cancer. Look what she has done to Germany with her liberal, open border laws inviting the muzzies in. She has NO ROOM to call out anyone else, she has all but destroyed a once saved Germany from people like Hitler.
.....”I think Trump is the most undemocratic president I have ever seen in American history.....
Woodrow Wilson? Barack Hussein obama? Abraham Lincoln? Andrew Jackson? And even clinton, the Bomber of Belgrade!!!!
Shut up, Madame Halfbright!!!! PHOOEY to you!!!!
