During an appearance on the “Democracy Docket” podcast on Friday, former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton made some outrageous remarks. Speaking with host Marc Elias, a Democratic election lawyer and the general counsel for her 2016 presidential campaign, Clinton discussed how in her view, Trump is modeling his behavior on Russian President Vladimir Putin.
Clinton described Trump’s outlook as alarmingly authoritarian, suggesting he would prefer a governance style akin to Putin’s, involving suppression of opposition through extreme measures.
“Trump was like, you know, just gaga over Putin because Putin does what Trump would like to do: Kill his opposition, imprison his opposition, drive journalists and others into exile, rule without any check or balance,” Clinton said.
“That’s what Trump really wants,” she continued. “And so we have to be very conscious of how he sees the world because, in that world, he only sees strongmen leaders. He sees Putin, he sees Xi, he sees Kim Jong-un in North Korea. Those are the people he is modeling himself after, and we’ve been down this road in our, you know, world history. We sure don’t want to go down that again.”
“My view, having negotiated with Putin, and knowing one of the reasons he went after me is because he knew I would deal with him in an appropriate way, and Trump would basically do whatever he wanted, it’s really important to think about what could happen to our world with Trump back in the White House,” Clinton told Elias in Friday’s podcast.
“Withdrawing us from NATO, not caring about what happens with Europe … The idea that he wants Ukraine to fail. The idea that he doesn’t want us to be able to surveil our enemies. This is a very scary prospect,” she said, referencing some Republican opposition to the Ukraine aid bill moving through Congress and the FISA surveillance reauthorization legislation that Trump opposed.

Ha! a classic case of “Kol Haposel B’mumo Posel”. When Hillary was faced with the Whitewater bank scandal while Bill was President, a close aide, Foster, died under mysterious, still unsolved, circumstances. The word on the street, at that time, was that he knew too much and threatened to talk! As far a acting like Putin, her fellow Democrats shut down all opposition and march in lockstep as if being given orders. Biden is like a puppet on strings being controlled by shadowy figures. Rumour has it that those shadowy figures are Obama and Hillary.
No chiddushim here. That is exactly why the Trump supporters want him back in office .
bragg ימח שמו וזכרונו needs to focus his resources on true criminals:- i.e. on locking up hillary & her cohorts, and stop wasting his time & NY taxpayers’ monies on totally sham cases.
Hillary Clinton is the very last person who should be flinging around accusations like this. How many “mysterious suicides” are linked to her?
The definition of projection
This old lesbian hag who married a serial rapist for political gain has a body count in the hundreds including Vince foster, the only known victim of a suicide by bullet to the head with no blood at the crime scene. Her grimy fingerprints are also likely on the epstein prison execution to save her rapist husband again. The same people who believe the government report that WTC7 fell from adjacent debris hitting it believe the government report that epstein committed suicide.
