He has nothing but contempt for democracy. He made clear his blatant admiration of strong arm dictators and ended his shame filled term in office by trying to violently overthrow our democracy by force. It would be no surprise if he operated back channels with at least Russia, China, and North Korea. Just look at what we know from America’s pitiful press.

Now imagine what we don’t know about his dictatorial plans… Conspiracy nut? Not bloody likely.
