Expanding on her point, Clinton speculated that Trump’s presidency could signal the end of democratic elections in the United States. “We go down the line, and maybe this would be our last election because someone who will not accept the validity of an election is someone who doesn’t believe in elections,” she warned, drawing a dire picture of a future under Trump’s leadership.

In a particularly striking comparison, Clinton likened Trump’s tactics to those of authoritarian regimes from history, alluding to the rise of totalitarian leaders in the 1930s. “The world has been here before. People did not take the kind of threats that we saw in the 1930s as seriously as they should…” she cautioned, suggesting that Trump’s approach mirrors those of notorious historical figures.

These latest remarks are consistent with Clinton’s earlier statements during a podcast interview with Marc Elias, a prominent liberal attorney who played a key role in commissioning the infamous Trump-Russia dossier in 2016. During the interview on Elias’ “Democracy Docket” podcast, Clinton drew direct parallels between Trump and various authoritarian leaders. “Putin does what [Trump] would like to do,” she claimed, accusing Trump of desiring to “kill his opposition, imprison his opposition, drive journalists into exile, rule without any check or balance.” She argued that Trump admires and seeks to emulate leaders like Putin, Xi Jinping, and Kim Jong Un. “That’s what Trump really wants. And so we have to be very conscious of how he sees the world because in that world, he only sees strong men leaders,” Clinton added, stressing the potential dangers of Trump’s alleged worldview.

These developments continue to fuel a heated debate over the integrity and future of American democracy.
