MSNBC Guest: Autocrats Come as Wolf in Sheep’s Clothing; Trump Is Telling Us ‘I Am the Wolf, I Am the Dictator’

EXCERPT:

BASSIN: “And, frankly, it’s higher than 10 percent. Because most often when autocrats come to power, the challenge for the voters and for the population is you don’t necessarily know it. You know, Recep Erdogan came to power as a democratic reformer. Vladimir Putin came to power as a democratic reformer. When Viktor Orban ran in 2010, he didn’t talk about creating a new media law that would suppress free expression and a free press. He got elected and then he did it. Most often it’s difficult to know when the autocrat is coming. They come as a wolf in sheep’s clothing. But not presently. Donald Trump is telling us over and over again, I am the wolf. I am the dictator. It’s far higher than a 10 percent chance that he’s telling us the truth.”
