I heard it, and no, you weren’t misunderstanding Macadia. Newsweek summary of exactly what he said, and initial reactions here.

I think this might be a defining moment in the election campaign.

He wants to put an end to democracy and run the USA as a dictatorship.

He has repeatedly made known his admiration for authoritarian leaders, including Putin, Hungary’s Viktor Orbán and North Korea’s Kim Jong-un. And a former White House aide reported that Trump once said Adolf Hitler “did some good things”.

I think we need to be very afraid and afraid of those in this country who so doggedly support him.

Because the US will be under a dictatorship?

I wonder if he knows what he is saying , as half the time his speeches are contradictory and make little sense.

What a strange thing for Donald Trump to say at his Christian rally. He said if they vote for him, it will be fixed so they never vote again. Why would anyone vote for THAT ? Am I misunderstanding something here?
