Trump's Troubling Admiration of Tyrants & What It Could Mean in a 2nd Term

Steve Schmidt talks about the new reporting that Trump would praise the actions of Hitler. This is not the first time the former President has expressed affinity for tyrants and dictators. But what could that mean if he was elected to a second term in office? Steve says that we've already seen what happened when he lost an election and argues that the second term will be worse. "Tyrants rise when democracies weaken. in the 1930s, Fascism rose, not because it was strong, but because democracy was weak. And now, something is rising all over the world. The United States got a taste of it between 2016 and 2020. Next time, we'll get the full experience." *** To become a The Warning Premium Member and listen to the show 48 hours early with access to premium content visit: https://thewarning.supercast.com/ Subscribe for more and follow me here: Substack: https://steveschmidt.substack.com/subscribe Twitter: https://twitter.com/SteveSchmidtSES Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/SteveSchmidtSES/ TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@thewarningses Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/thewarningses/

There is a very significant, “exhausted majority” of Americans looking to move past this rotten moment in American life. They have lost trust and faith in government, business, media and not-for-profit institutions at a moment of technological, cultural and economic upheaval. Fascism did not rise in the 1930s because it was strong, but rather, because democracy was weak. The cycle is repeating itself with a new extremism rising in 2020s America. On the podcast – consistent with the mission of The Warning newsletter offered on Substack and The Warning YouTube channel – I will be joined by interesting guests – some familiar, and some you may never have heard of – to discuss the political and cultural currents that are shaping our times, as well as the unseen forces driving politics that are rarely discussed on cable news. It's important for you to hear from a diverse range of voices – not just me – about the issues facing America today.
