Former President's Authoritarian Tendencies Spark Debate as Liz Cheney Warns of Clear and Present Danger to American Democracy

Donald Trump, if re-elected, has announced intentions to weaponize federal law enforcement against political enemies and has suggested executing Gen Mark Milley, former chairman of the joint chiefs.
Trump has reportedly kept a bound copy of Hitler’s speeches at his bedside and has been accused of attempting to overturn an election.
Trump has stated that he would be a dictator “on day one” of a second term, aiming to make the executive branch his fiefdom, with loyalty being the primary test.
People close to Trump have vowed to “come after” the news media, open criminal investigations into onetime aides who broke with the former president and purge the government of civil servants deemed disloyal.
Former congresswoman Liz Cheney has released a book warning that Trump is a clear and present danger to American democracy.
