Trump has already made it clear that he will begin to destroy his political opponents as soon as he returns to the White House.
If Donald Trump returns to the White House, his second term as US president will resemble the rule of Vladimir Putin and other authoritarian leaders. This opinion was expressed by Democratic Congressman Jamie Raskin on a political talk show on MSNBC .
In an interview with Spanish-language television station Univision this week , Trump admitted that if elected in 2024, he would use the FBI to pursue his political rivals.
“If I happen to be president and I see someone behaving well and beating me really badly, I say I will go and press charges against them,” he said

Commenting on this statement, Raskin suggested that Trump sees the government’s role in particular as destroying its political enemies.
“So what would [Trump’s] second term look like? It would look a lot like Vladimir Putin in Russia. It would look a lot like [Prime Minister Viktor] Orban in Hungary – an illiberal democracy, which means a democracy without rights or freedoms.” or respect for due process, the system, the rule of law,” Raskin said.
Raskin once participated in the work of a parliamentary commission that investigated the attack on the Capitol on January 6, 2021 and Trump’s role in those events. According to the congressman, Trump’s behavior at that time indicates that he is the type of politician who is not ready to accept the election results if they do not benefit him, and he is not afraid to resort to political violence.
“They perceive political violence as a tool for gaining power, and then everything follows from the will of a charismatic politician. And Donald Trump is on the list of such. Therefore, we are clearly heading towards a completely different form of government, which any of us could recognize as a continuation of the past – the right, an authoritarian government in alliance with Putin, Xi Jinping, Orban, [former Brazilian President] Bolsonaro,” Raskin said.
Trump plans to become US president for a second time
As UNIAN wrote, current US President Joe Biden is inferior in ratings to his main competitor in the upcoming elections, Donald Trump, in 5 out of 6 key states. In previous elections it was the other way around.
We also said that President Vladimir Zelensky expects continued support for Ukraine from the United States, regardless of who becomes the new American leader following the election results in 2024. At the same time, Zelensky avoided directly answering how concerned he is about the possible victory of Donald Trump in the US elections.

Now some Lefties are whining that, if reelected, Trump could do the same thing with the DOJ and FBI that they are doing now. “Rules are for thee, not for me!”
You know Sir Red I don’t know who started this tit for rat crap but it really sucks. Keeping in mind until recently I as a life long republican I think it may have started with the impeachment of Clinton or maybe the Borke confirmation hearings but I’d wish the assholes in DC would grow up and stop this as it’s destroying the country. Nonetheless Trump is a fuckin moron and epitomizes what’s wrong with this country. These idiots need to learn how to play in the and box.
Agreed. I relented for a long time but after seeing our viewership go down and occasional feedback come in against all the daily irrelevant anti-Trump stuff, it is only fair to push back.
The TDS infected crowd will never be satisfied. They would burn Trump at the stake and then go after his wife, children and burn everything along with half of the US that supports Trump. I guess the TDS patients would deny their support of Ukraine too because their politics is even more important to them than poor Ukraine.
Politics is not politics to the Left, it is their religion. If they want to keep to the subject and be fair, I’m game and will play nicely in the sandbox, otherwise they will turn this site into just another creepy hard left site with content you can get on a million other websites. Your problem, Sir Cap, is not with me, it is with them. Thank you for always being so honest, it is appreciated. Slava Ukraini~~!!
Agreed
For the record I’ve never had a problem with you Sir Red. Honestly I try to approach everything rationally. Trump did some good and I appreciated some of his policies but he has poisoned everything he touched. After allot of reflection I call my self a Reagan Republican. The last best president we ever had.
That makes two of us. With a Reagan in the WH, our problems would be less, or at least more manageable.
If I can be bold I think everyone would agree with me that we are very fortunate to have you here often. Personally I don’t care what people’s politics are as long as they’re honest and like Ukraine. I am not like a few people here that bash 150 million people because of what a few are doing. Right now Ukraine needs all the friends she can get, and we are actively chasing away Ukraine supporters here on a site called Ukraine Today. Its disgusting imo.
How can we get back those supporters? We need everyone we can get.
We just focus on Ukraine and leave the politics to the sock puppets.
“we are actively chasing away Ukraine supporters”
By calling anyone who didn’t drink the trumpkov Koolaid “Leftist”? By accusing anyone who points out well-documented facts about trumpkov as being “TDS infected”?
Nonsense. The DOJ and FBI are only going after those who committed crimes. Trump said he’d go after his political enemies even if they did nothing wrong (“someone behaving well”).
And if some fool wants to claim that Trump hasn’t committed crimes, go read the indictments.
Jamie Raskin LMAO….omg
This writer is a nut
Yeah, instead of being accurate and say Trump’s 2nd term COULD resemble Biden’s term, they say it WILL resemble Putin’s. They don’t even realize what Biden IS DOING with the Justice Dept. IS what Putin’s doing. Lefties favorite political weapon is projection, never mind the truth.
Indeed!
“If Donald Trump returns to the White House, his second term as US president will resemble the rule of Vladimir Putin and other authoritarian leaders.”
That is just overheated Loony Tunes garbage. Trump was not an authoritarian at any time. The left is simply projecting. Again.
He specifically said he would use the FBI to go after his critics. That’s no baloney that was an interview recorded on Univision. That sure sounds like Putin to me. Please don’t tell me that Biden is doing it so it’s ok for him to do it. NO SIR it’s not ok for anyone to do it.
You’re absolutely right that it’s not ok for anyone to do it. And it’s clear that trumpkov has specifically said he would do it.
“Please don’t tell me that Biden is doing it”
Please don’t say that because it’s not true – not just because “two wrongs don’t make a right”. The DOJ is doing their job and going after criminals. President Biden is keeping out of it.
“they say it WILL resemble Putin’s.”
Based on Trump’s own words.
“what Biden IS DOING with the Justice Dept.”
President Biden had nothing to do with the Department of Justice investigation, special counsel in charge of the investigation Jack Smith, or the grand jury deliberations.
A federal grand jury brought the indictment, at the behest of a special counsel, named by the attorney general, Merrick B. Garland, precisely to insulate the legal investigation of Mr. Trump from any perceived or real pressure from the president or his political appointees.
Jack Smith, a career prosecutor who is not registered with either political party, was appointed as a special counsel with a guarantee of independence absent manifest wrongdoing on his part.
All presidential aspirants lack true American greatness, they want to humor Moscow, the EU or China. It is sad times we live in, but the zionist/ruSSian controlled media turned us into a circus. I pray for the day when this shit-show will finally be over forever!
At least for Ukraine’s sake, I hope that we will never see a Trump in the WH again.
Amen!
It’s really scary how trumpkov is channeling hitler. Calling his opponents “vermin”, targeting the “enemies within”, saying that migrants are “poisoning the blood of our country,” calling for “sweeping raids, giant camps and mass deportations”, and more. And it’s not accidental – Ivana Trump revealed in 1990 that Donald “reads a book of Hitler’s collected speeches, My New Order, which he keeps in a cabinet by his bed.”

This shows it clearly:
Jenna Ellis confirmed to prosecutors what many have said privately to reporters: That Trump never intended to leave office, no matter what the circumstances. Those are the words and actions of an authoritarian despot like Putin or Xi. No American president should ever be allowed to act that way.
