I joined Times Radio’s Trump Report on Wednesday for a full-and-frank 31-minute VideoCast about Donald Trump’s quest to be an authoritarian leader — and why he may fail because of his lack of intelligence.
Host Maddie Hale and I begin with Trump trying to display his power by putting the military on the streets of Washington D.C. and perhaps more cities in the near-future.
We continue with his assault on the independent Federal Reserve, trying to fire Fed governor Lisa Cook, and examine the effect on the US economy.
We look at the “wannabe authoritarian” abroad, trying to take over Greenland but getting called out by the Danish Government.
And I explain one of the largest data breaches in US history, with the “Department” of Government Efficiency raiding personal record from the Social Security Administration and posting them to an unsecured server in the Cloud.
You have this race. By the time the economy goes south, has Trump embedded his authoritarian rule so deeply that it become difficult to challenge him even if people are really, really pissed off?
