Rep. John Garamendi (D., Calif.) said Wednesday that President Donald Trump’s actions in office are reminiscent of the press restrictions in Nazi Germany.
Garamendi appeared on CNN to criticize how Trump has attacked the press said that he was willing to impeach or restrict Trump’s powers as commander-in-chief. Garamendi described two different ways Trump presents himself, and he argued that the real Trump is “totally, totally out of control.”
“One, Trump using a teleprompter: very nice words, very conciliatory words, almost certainly written by somebody other than Trump,” Garamendi said. “Then the night before, we saw the real Trump: a man that is totally, totally out of control and engaged in rhetoric that slams the press which, by the way, happens to be the very first thing that a dictator will do to secure his position.”
Garamendi said that delegitimizing the press is part of his pathological lying that he’s done throughout his campaign and presidency. To him, Trump was unable to fulfill the role of the president when other nations cannot rely on his leadership.
