A presidential historian did not mince words when he cautioned that a return of Donald Trump to the presidency could result in “dictatorship and anarchy.”
“He is saying, I will dismantle our rule of law, which is the glory of America, keeps the peace, assures fairness when it works for all Americans. You’ve got dictatorship and anarchy at the same time,” MSNBC historian Michael Berscheloss said on “The Saturday Show with Jonathan Capehart,” per Fox News.
“The choice is actually pretty clear, we’ve got a convicted felon,” Bescheloss said.
Bescheloss added a reference to Trump’s public statement after the trial when he said “the system is rotten” and he wants to “dismantle parts of the Constitution.”
Trump was found guilty of 34 felony charges of falsifying business records. This was the first time a former or current president was tried in court.
On Friday, Trump held a press conference, stating, “Our country is in very bad shape, and they’re very much against me saying these things. They want to raise your taxes by four times. They want to stop you from having cars with their ridiculous mandates that make it impossible for you to [afford] a car.”
“I’m leading Biden by a lot, and I’m leading the Republicans to the point where that’s over. So I’m the leading person for president, and I’m under a gag order by a man that can’t put two sentences together given by a court, and they are in total conjunction with the White House and the DOJ…this is all done by Biden and his people,” he said.
“They got everything they wanted. It was a rigged trial. We wanted a venue change where we could have a fair trial, we didn’t get it,” Trump said. “We wanted a judge change. We wanted a judge that wasn’t conflicted. and obviously he didn’t do that. Nobody’s ever seen anything like it.”
