House Democratic whip Rep. James Clyburn compared President Trump to World War II Italian fascist dictator Benito Mussolini and said that he believes Trump will ignore the election and “install himself” as president for a second term.
Clyburn told CNN on Sunday that Trump has no plans to leave office “peacefully.” In addition to Mussolini, the Democrat also compared the President to Nazi leader Adolf Hitler and Russian President Vladimir Putin.

Clyburn even speculated that Trump and Putin were working together similar to Hitler and Mussolini collaborated in the years leading up to World War II.
“What I said starting about two-and-a-half, maybe three years ago after one of his state of the unions, that I feel very strongly that this man has taken on strong-arm tactics and I feel very strongly that he is Mussolini,” Clyburn said. “Putin is Hitler.”
“I said that back then and I believe that,” he continued. “I believe very strongly that this guy never had any idea about being one to peacefully transfer power. I don’t think he plans to leave the White House.”
Absolutely INSANE fear-mongering conspiracy theories from Rep. Clyburn.

The Democrat believes Trump will declare an emergency and install himself
“He doesn’t plan to have fair and unfettered elections,” Clyburn continued. “I believe that he plans to install himself in some kind of emergency way to continue to hold on to office, and that’s why the American people had better wake up.”

“I know a little bit about history and I know how countries find their demise; it is when we fail to let democracy and the fundamentals of which is a fair, unfettered election, and that’s why he is trying to put a cloud over this election [by] floating the idea of postponing the election,” he said.
Clyburn went on, “This is not a perfect democracy, but it is better than any other that exists and I really feel that the fundamentals are being frayed, and if we are not careful this country will be lost for our next generation of our children and our grandchildren.”
Trump suggested delaying the election last week
Trump suggested delaying the 2020 election on Thursday due to the pandemic and the inherent fraud of mail-in voting.
The President tweeted, “With Universal Mail-In Voting (not Absentee Voting, which is good), 2020 will be the most INACCURATE & FRAUDULENT Election in history. It will be a great embarrassment to the USA. Delay the Election until people can properly, securely and safely vote???”

Trump’s tweet ignited social media, but the fact remains the President does not have the Constitutional authority to delay the election. Only Congress can do that.
Trump did praise himself for elevating the issue of universal mail-in voting and its risks.
“Glad I was able to get the very dishonest LameStream Media to finally start talking about the RISKS to our Democracy from dangerous Universal Mail-In-Voting (not Absentee Voting, which I totally support!),” Trump tweeted Thursday.

Only three? Wait, you missed a few!
Erdogan, Ayatollah Khamani, Xi, Kim Jun Un, Pol Pot, Mao Zedong, Satan, Stalin, Lennin, Marx, Castro, Maduro, Mugabe, MBS.
What a nut job
I thought this guy was dead .Didn’t they just finish a two week funeral for him with three ex presidents attending?
Well then DEMOCRATIC HOUSE WHIP, James Clyburn, quit trying to make America a Socialist Regime!!
PRESIDENT TRUMP is stopping all the AVENUES OF A COMMUNIST-STYLE, GOVERNMENT CONTROL THAT OBAMA STARTED….
THANK YOU BEN CARSON FOR CLEANING UP YOUR DEPARTMENT!!!!!
A Federal bureau staffed with ‘experts’ to decide if EVERY community in America is EQUAL in ALL WAYS, is COMMUNIST!
James Clyburn is another Democrat that has been in office way too long. Comparing President Trump to Mussolini demonstrates his ignorance & he should review history.
The left is trying to prepare us for what they would do if they get in power and then lose.
Is there a better example of the filthy corruption that is the demmie party than Clyburn..?? An investigation into him will surely reveal all kinds of illegal activity that enriches this bozo.
Another conspiracy moron.
So hard to comprehend such stupidity at this level in the Democratic Socialist Party. Give me a break. Don’t any of you know your history????
But he’s okay with when the Zebra used the top powers of his administration’s Federal Investigation departments to run a political coup against a duly-elected President. Evil Hypocrite is too nice a name to call this (fill in the blank)!
Just goes to prove that “educated” people can be total, close-minded morons…..
I call libel on this sorry excuse for a politician!!! So tired of all the hate, the lies, the elite status for themselves. I truly believe the Patriots will rise. As an older person, there’s no excuse for disrespecting our President. We didn’t throw hissy fits when Obama was elected so why show out now? Oh i know, money in your pockets, hate in your heart
Hopefully this racist sob will be the next ”icon” to take a dirt nap.
Clyburn’s comments on Trump being a sort of Mussolini wanting to seize Power is a typical exercise in demagoguery by Democrats who, using a psychological defense mechanism called “projection,” blame others for those things of which they themselves are guilty – but the Democrats are the ones who are most tyrannical by subscribing to any number of Politically Correct ideologies.
Clyburn must have found a hidden still in his back yard. No one can be this stupid and still be sober. The Loony Left can’t except that Mr Trump the President is his own man and doesn’t bow down to any one, except to God.
BTW, Trump did NOT suggest delaying the election. He was asking a question, that is why there are question marks after “delay the election”. Clyburn is a complete moron. ALL the Democrat/Socialists suggesting President Trump is going to try and install himself as a dictator are also morons with a complete lack of grey matter.
Clyburn, 80, seems to be suffering from his own cognitive decline. SC, you can do better than this.
Clyburn needs to go. He is a disgrace to our government and is a Dem/Communist propagandist.
[James Clyburn compared President Trump to World War II Italian fascist dictator Benito Mussolini and said that he believes Trump will ignore the election and “install himself” as president for a second term.]
Many a fool has believed himself knowledgeable and wise in his own eyes, but then he speaks with no thought nor wisdom, just as this Clybrun speaks.
Clybrun actions in the past has proven himself to be just another servant of Satan supporting the agendas of homosexuality, same-sex marriages, abortion and even the rejection of God’s WORD.
Is there a better reason why TERM LIMITS need to be put in place!
I wish the Democrats would make up their minds is trump working with the Russians or for the Russians????? Oops my mistake they’re Democrats IT’S TRUMP’S FAULT ,IT’S TRUMP’S FAULT isn’t that their usual cry along with THAT’S RACIST!!!!
Another Gangster in the Mob of Organized Criminals spewing Propaganda in the hopes that the ignorant fools who keep him in office will believe it. Unfortunately, we seem to have no shortage of morons.
CLYBURN obviously has been in politics too long he wants too bash the PRESIDENT because PRESIDENT TRUMP isn’t the corrupt person that they wanted to be so now they still want to bash PRESIDENT TRUMP any way they the democrats are so corrupt and they can’t be as honest as PRESIDENT TRUMP is they want to call him any IDIOTIC thing they can think of. I think that is why the democrats call them all the ridiculous names they can think of even though the democrat’s are the ones that are guilty of what they accuse PRESIDENT TRUMP of doing.
you got that right. what is yours will theirs. moms 4 housing check this out.
Welcome to the black Democrat party
why isn’t this man doing something to help the blacks, who are killing each other. He just sits there collects lots of money and does nothing.
He laughs at everyone when he deposits his money in the bank He is paid for doing nothing.
Sometimes I think these crazy Democrats must surely have had that Kool aid, but it just addled them
Easy!….To begin that process, #1. Join The Democrat Party #2 Unplug your brain #3. Fill your heart with hate and #4. Become the biggest hypocrite you can possibly be. Trump2020
He was born that way.
It is hard to imagine how difficult it must be to become this stupid.
So..you WANT a dictatorship….
Hell yes , name one democratic president whose done more for the American people weather they be black ,white, Latino or pink with blue polka dots
So…
If Trump did install himself as President For Life/a dictator, you would be fine with that?
Clownburn – another dimoKKKrat clown be-clowning himself.
In a pine box
This democrat has been troubling since trump’s day one. Enjoy your retirement soon being miserable Mr Clyburn
Another crazy, lying old liberal that is circling the drain..Better get right with the Lord old man..
