NEW DELHI: Alert on the “dangers” of elections Donald Trump as President of the United States for the second time, Hillary Clinton compared his rival for 2016 president to Adolf Hitler.
During a talk show appearance, Hillary said that Asset return to White House “It would be the end of our country,” adding: “I don’t say that lightly.”
“When I was Secretary of State, I talked about ‘one and done.’ What I meant by that was that people would be legitimately elected and then they would try to get rid of the elections, get rid of the opposition and get done with a free press,” said the former first lady, senator and secretary of state, quoted by the Guardian.
“Hitler was duly elected. All of a sudden, someone with these tendencies, dictatorial and authoritarian, would say, “Okay, we’re going to stop this, we’re going to throw these people in jail.” » And they didn’t used to telegraph that. Trump is telling us what he intends to do,” she added.
Clinton made the remarks days after a Washington Post article outlined Trump’s considerations about using the Justice Department to investigate his political critics and former allies who spoke out against him, in case he would return to the White House.
There is also talk of invoking the Insurrection Act on his first day, granting him the power to use the US military domestically to control protests and dissent – an idea he abandoned after that military leaders advised against it during his previous term.
Trump’s team is also preparing to fill potential positions in an administration with more far-right lawyers, less likely to obstruct his actions as he pushes the limits of presidential power, according to the New York Times .
According to a recent New York Times/Siena poll conducted Sunday, Trump is ahead of Joe Biden in various crucial battlefield states.
Trump currently faces criminal charges in four separate cases scheduled for trial next year. Many believe winning the presidency is Trump’s best opportunity to avoid legal consequences. The poll indicates that a significant number of voters would shift their support to Biden if Trump were convicted.
