Tom Friedman: ‘Can You Imagine What Kind of Autocracy We Will Live In’ If Trump’s Re-Elected?

‘How many subpoenas will he respond to, if he’s not doing it now’

EXCERPT:

FRIEDMAN: “Imagine, John, what happens if Donald Trump gets elected for four more years and he is not restrained by the need to get elected again. He sent 11,000 toxic tweets when he had to be re-elected. He abused his power vis-a-vis Ukraine when he had to be re-elected. Can you imagine what kind of autocracy we will live in? How many subpoenas will he respond to, if he’s not doing it now, if he doesn’t have to worry about being re-elected? I think that’s the most frightening thing going forward. If he behaves with this regard towards the Constitution and his Oath of Office now, what would he be like if he didn’t have to worry about getting re-elected?”
