Has Donald Trump tried to establish an autocratic system of government in the USA?
Palm Beach – Former US President donald trump* does not exclude a renewed candidacy for the year 2024. He most recently spoke at a private party at his Mar-a-Lago estate about his plans for the office of US President*. But now Fiona Hill, former director of the National Security Council, made a comparison that Trump did not like.
In an interview with The New York Times Magazine, Hill said she saw Donald Trump aspire to become an autocrat modeled after the Russian president Wladimir Putin*, the Turkish ruler Recep Tayyip Erdogan* or the Hungarian Prime Minister Victor Orban* to become.
Donald Trump: Remain in power “without any control”?
Donald Trump is said to have “constantly” talked about his desire to USA* to remain in office for two more years, which he justified by saying that the first two years had been “taken away” from him. His first two years were stolen from him by investigations into possible Russian interference during the 2016 US election. “And he would say he wanted more than two terms,” Ms Hill said, adding that Donald Trump was “clearly serious.”
Trump’s ambassador to Hungary, David Cornstein, has also “spoken openly” about Donald Trump “striving for the same arrangement” as Viktor Orban. Specifically, Trump wanted to remain in power “without any controls”.
Donald Trump outraged by Putin comparison: “She has no idea”
She also compared the storming of the Capitol on January 6, 2021 to Vladimir Putin’s constitutional amendment in 2020, which allowed him to remain president for longer. “That was Trump pulling off a Putin,” she said.
Donald Trump himself reacted indignantly to Hill’s allegations. When asked about it, he told the Times: “She has no idea what she’s talking about. If she didn’t have that accent, she’d be nothing.” (marv) *fr.de is an offer from IPPEN.MEDIA.
