Former US President Bill Clinton criticized Donald Trump’s legal standards and called for a renewed national focus on common ground, warning against political intimidation and democratic erosion.
Clinton described Trump’s control style as unprecedented in modern American history.
“We’ve never seen anything like that in my life – someone saying,” I want anything I want to be the law of the country. It’s my way or highway, “CBS said.” And most Americans disagree with it. “
Clinton also suggested that Trump’s aggressive rhetoric and ignoring standards could reduce its popularity.
“I like to think he paid for it-you know the names and throwing his weight around … I think it’s less popular.”
“It only changes the choices”
Clinton stressed that the only way to fight Trump lies in democratic participation and said, “It will only change the elections.”
He said that democratic profits in this year’s governorate races and a potential victory in the house of 2026 could help galvanize the opposition to Trump. He also pointed to the judiciary as the remaining check of the executive overlap.
In trump attempts to undermine a legal representation
Clinton condemned Trump’s announced efforts to prevent law firms to represent clients before federal agencies if they opposed it.
“It’s not America,” Clinton said. “We’ve never done it. The whole purpose has a legal system can be heard both sides.”
He appreciated the courts – including the judges appointed by the Trump – for resisting the following attempts: “The courts stop the president, including many judges who have appointed… looking for ways to basically resist all these court orders.
Invite to unity: “What do we have more in common things”
Despite the recognition of the deep political divisions, Clinton called on the Americans to refuse humiliation and division in favor of mutual respect.
“Someone has to stand up and say,” Damn, what we have more in common matters. We cannot discard the heritage of this country away. We cannot destroy the trust of other people in us. “”
“We just have to calm down and try to attract people again. That’s what I think.”
Clinton about Biden’s fitness: “He was always on top of his panties”
Clinton rejected the statement of a recent book that challenged the cognitive abilities of President Joe Biden and said he had never observed any decline.
“I thought he was a good president … I never saw him and went to think, he couldn’t do it anymore. He was always on top of his panties.”
He admitted he didn’t read the book and said, “I didn’t want to.” Because he is no longer a president, and I think he did a good job. And I think today we face challenges without facing our history.
