Sam Smith - Missing from the current talk about Putin is the fact that if Trump is reelected the world will once again find itself with history's most dangerous dictators based on their degree of narcissism, infatuation with money and the means they possessed to enjoy it. While Congress, the Constitution and courts prevented Trump from carrying out many of dictatorial dreams in his first term, we have never had a president with such contempt for the law, democracy and decency. Further, his reelection would depend upon a majority of American voters accepting these values.
Imagine how different our history would be if Trump, rather than Roosevelt, had been president during the rise of Hitler. We have never experienced anything like this. The start of Trump's second term, especially if accompanied by his ally in Russia, would be more correctly called the end of the first American republic
