Political Scientist: Trump’s a ‘Very Unsuccessful Dictator,’ ‘Checked Continually All the Time by His Own Congress’

EXCERPT:

WRIGHT: "I think that it's a very rational concern because there might be a conflict in a completely different area of the world that we haven't even anticipated yet. We're worried about a peer conflict with China that we might not have enough weapons to support. What I think we need to do a better job at — and, by the way, I think this war is a disaster, we'll talk about the messaging later — but we do not have a dictator. I'm sorry. We have a very unsuccessful dictator if we have a dictator. He's checked continually all the time by his own Congress, by his own courts, by other countries and our allies."

PEARSON: "That is not correct."

WRIGHT: "There is no conversation about the Iranian dictatorship and torturing their own people. I mean, I would just be curious to hear what you have to say about that."
