Former personal attorney for Donald Trump, Michael Cohen, said the former president will declare himself a fuhrer on day two of reclaiming the White House if he wins in 2024.
During Thursday’s broadcast on MSNBC’s “The ReidOut,” Anchor Joy Reid framed the question to Cohen:
“I think that people, they still don’t take Trump seriously.”
“When he says I’ll only be a dictator on day one, people in the audience laughed. I noted also that when he said, I’ll close the border and drill they cheered.”
“But the first thing they did is when he said I’ll be a dictator on day one. Someone in the audience screamed yeah and people seemed happy about it.”
“So do you feel that at this point it’s one of two things, there are either people in this country who actually crave a dictator Trump and president for life who is Donald Trump or they just don’t believe he’ll do it?” she asked.
Cohen said:
“Either way, it doesn’t really work.”
“First of all, if he’s going to be a dictator on day one, rest assured, I know him better than almost anybody,” Cohen said.
“He won’t be a dictator on day two. He will be a king.”
“He will make himself into the fuhrer and make everybody raise their hand and salute him, ‘Hail Shitler.'”
“He is an autocratic wanna-be with autocratic tendencies.”
Cohen continued:
“It is Donald Trump saying it when he says on the first day he wants to re-write the Constitution.”
“Seriously, he wants to strip the power of the judiciary and the legislature and confer all power to the executive branch.”
“Again, that means to him he wants the military to sign a loyalty oath to him,” he said.
“He wants the 15 1600 people that will work for government in the transition team to sign a loyalty oath to him.”
“The only person that asks for a loyalty oath is a dictator, a supreme leader, a monarch, a fuhrer.”
Watch
Last month, Cohen warned that Democrats, media, and himself could all end up in Guantanamo Bay.
Cohen echoed other media talking heads who recently warned that a Trump presidency would see them behind bars.
“A vote for Donald Trump is a vote for the end of democracy,” Cohen said.
“And I personally don’t want to be led around. I don’t want anybody telling me, as they’re already doing right now, what you can and can’t do in your bedroom. I don’t want them saying who can and cannot vote,” he added.
“All of a sudden, you’re going to have someone knock down your door and it’s going to be Trump ‘brown shirts’ pulling you out and sending you to Guantanamo Bay.”
