Yup. Cons wanted an authoritarian president and they got one. I always new conservative hated a democracy but I didn't know they hated one so badly that they wanted a monarch. Well, they got what they want--I just wonder if the rest of the nation will be happy with a king?

Former U.S. Secretaries of State Colin Powell and Madeleine Albright both questioned the dramatic negative effects the Trump administration has had on the United States and its people.

Speaking with CNN's Fareed Zakaria on October 7, Powell criticized Trump's various attacks on the news media, close U.S. allies and even the country's own citizens. Powell lamented that his three favorite words in the U.S. Constitution had long been "We the people," but Trump's short time in office has morphed the famous founding fathers' line into "me the president."

"You see things that should not be happening," Powell told Zakaria. "How can a president of the United States get up and say that the media is the enemy of Americans? Hasn't he read the First Amendment? You are not supposed to like everything the press says, or what anyone says…that's why we have a First Amendment, to protect that kind of speech."

Apparently, Powell Doesn't Critically Read Or Watch Media Outlets
And Will Flush Context For PR Brownie Points
What Career Bureaucrats Do...

CNN's Fareed Zakaria...

Nothing Says Hard-Ball Credibility
Like Newsweek, CNN, And Fareed Zakaria
Hell, He Can't Even Spell His Own Last Name Right...

And what does any of this have to do with what Powell said? Trump wanted to be a monarch and you cons made him one. Nuff said...
