On Thursday’s broadcast of “CNN Tonight,” CNN Senior Political Commentator and former Obama adviser David Axelrod argued President Trump views democratic institutions a “nuisance” and is envious of people who can rule how they want.
Axelrod said, “[H]e has no regard for democratic institutions. He considers them a nuisance. I think it’s one of the reasons why he’s so fond of autocrats around the world and so disdainful of our allies. You know, he, I think, has some envy for people who can cast aside all of the encumbrances of democracy and rule as they please.”
