Make no mistake, former President Trump’s violent speech, where he once again attacked his political opponents and vowed to rid the country of ‘vermin’ is not a threat, it’s a promise.

The possible future commander-in-chief believes his authority would be absolute. He wants vengeance against his political enemies. He plans to crush the law and bend the Constitution to his bidding. Democracy itself will be a risk.

Believe what he says, and be afraid, very afraid.
