Tuesday was a déjà vu day for President Donald Trump as he suggested for the second day in a row that the American people might want a dictator to lead the country.
It happened during a Cabinet meeting when Trump got angry at Democratic governors like Maryland’s Wes Moore and JB Pritzker of Illinois, who aren’t happy he’s threatening to send the military into their states’ cities.
Trump seemed especially miffed at Moore, mainly because the governor clapped back after the president claimed Moore called him “the greatest president of my lifetime” during a brief meeting last December. On Monday, Moore said, “Keep telling yourself that, Mr. President” on X.
That caused the notoriously thin-skinned leader of the free world to gripe to reporters about Moore before going down the authoritarian path.
Trump claimed that Moore told him, “Sir, you’re doing a great job. You’re doing an unbelievable job. Thank you very much,” and then went on TV to declare that Trump is a dictator.
