Trump uses dangerous language. America doesn't need a 'Godfather-in-chief'

"SNIP.....

Mob bosses rarely get their hands dirty, at least not the ones portrayed in movies and television like Vito Corleone and Tony Soprano. They have lieutenants and underlings for that sort of thing. They choose their words carefully so that the intent is clear even if the literal meaning is muddy.

It was a chilling moment when Rep. Brenda Lawrence asked Cohen why he fears for his and his family’s safety. “What do you think [the president] can do to you?” she asked.

“A lot. And it’s not just him. It’s those people that follow him and his rhetoric,” Cohen replied.

........

Or when he falsely tweets that Democrats “don’t mind executing babies AFTER birth.” Or when he says that the media wanted to “destroy Michael Cohen and his relationship with me in the hope that he will ‘flip.’ ” Or when he called Cohen a “rat” after he turned on the president.

....SNIP"

he never tells his supporters and enforcers to back off.

he never tells any of "his people" that they've gone too far.

people get the message, they know what he wants.

Trump calling the press, “the Enemy of the People.”

He wants people to think Democrats are like Maduro turning America into Venezuela. But, he is actually more like Maduro, and his authoritarian polices.
