Response to Donald Trump’s recent statement hinting at acting like a dictator if re-elected, former attorney Michael Cohen suggests this isn’t a joke. Cohen, once a key figure in Trump’s circle, warns of minimal resistance to potential constitutional violations.
As reported by Raw Story on December 9, 2023, during a conversation with MSNBC host Ali Velshi, Cohen expressed that Trump is genuinely committed to using the presidency to target adversaries, even hinting at the possibility of Mexico and Canada being at risk under Trump’s ambitions.
Don’t mind what Michael Cohen or Ali Velshi says, or any pundits on TV, Cohen emphasized. Listen to what Donald is saying.
Cohen’s statement is a serious accusation, asserting that Trump’s true desire isn’t the presidency but authoritarian power. The claim challenges the idea that someone would become a dictator for just one day and voluntarily give up that power.
Cohen, referencing his previous warnings over the past few years and his book ‘Revenge,’ insists Trump does not aspire to be the U.S. president. He dreams of becoming a dictator, a monarch, a fuhrer, or a king—that’s what he truly desires, Cohen explained.
The former Trump lawyer poses a thought-provoking question to viewers: When was the last time somebody became a dictator for just one day and then decided to give it up? The answer, of course, is never.
He’s being dead serious, Cohen concludes about Trump’s ambitions, raising concerns about the potential consequences if such aspirations were to materialize.
