DONALD Trump wants to be “dictator for a day” and will persecute his enemies if he wins the US presidential election, according to his former director of communications Anthony Scaramucci.
Scaramucci said he has undergone a “divorce” from Trump and is now backing Joe Biden for president.
He told GB News: “Unfortunately, the United States has decided to put up Joe Biden and Donald Trump and so you have two choices on choosing the person that's going to reform the American institutions of the democracy and the American system.
“Mr Trump has already said he doesn't want to do that, he wants to be dictator for a day. He wants to expand the executive powers, he wants to persecute. He wants to use what has typically been an agnostic Justice Department, but he wants to use that to persecute his political adversaries.”
“This is not stuff that the UK, the rest of the world, our European allies or global allies, will think highly of once he's in office and so I'm speaking out against it. He's not going to win by the way…”
In a discussion with Ben Leo and Emily Carver, he continued: “There are 20 cabinet members that worked for Mr Trump, closely, indirectly alongside of myself. Now granted, I was there for 11 days but I did work for him for close to a year on the campaign.
“And we all saw the same thing and we're all speaking out against his temperament to be the President of the United States. So things do change.”
He blamed Trump for the war in Ukraine: “He can't solve the Ukraine problem in a day. You also know that he slowed down the arms and material to the Ukraine.
“Since 1994, the United States, in exchange for the Ukraine giving up their nuclear weapons, developed something called Operation Porcupine, where they fortified the Ukrainians with anti-tank, anti-ballistic missiles to protect the Ukrainian people from the Russian Federation.
“Mr Trump slowed all that stuff down. So, when you say he's not the war president, in many ways, if you ask people in the Pentagon, if you get him to come on your show, they'll tell you the actions that he took during his presidency contributed to Vladimir Putin thinking it was an easy way to strike the Ukrainians.”
