Former Governor Martin O’Malley (D-Md.) didn’t mince words during a recent interview on MSNBC.
President Donald Trump spoke at the Conservative Political Action Conference (CPAC) this week, which was basically a group of white supremacists who came to worship their overlord. Governor O’Malley, a 2016 presidential candidate, said those people do not represent the majority of Americans, especially the young ones who want progress.
He even pointed out how much Trump acts like a dictator, saying his speech reeked of authoritarianism. Except it was given by a man elected through a democratic process, albeit with a little Russian interference.

He also pointed out that Trump uses the scapegoat method, which exploits minorities. It’s a quick and easy way to get the support of uneducated whites who claim immigrants do nothing but take jobs and commit acts of terror. It’s not as though whites ever terrorize people.
White House ignores all white terrorists:

O’Malley said that rhetoric along with his ‘impoverished vocabulary’ makes it easy for the uneducated to support him. Even worship him a little bit. Trump has justified their prejudice and he’s their only hope of ‘Making America Great Again.’
He also addressed Trump’s attack on confidential sources, saying that’s basically what a free press is. It’s information not fed to us from the government.
Let’s not forget Trump’s use of private sources, either:
An 'extremely credible source' has called my office and told me that @BarackObama's birth certificate is a fraud.

An 'extremely credible source' has called my office & told me that @BarackObama applied to Occidental as a foreign student–think about it!

An 'extremely credible source' has called my office and told me that @BarackObama bought his house with the help of Tony Rezko.

Right, Mr. Trump. Using ‘confident sources’ is bad.
While Gov. O’Malley called Trump’s administration ‘malicious,’ he also said it’s clear they’re starting to unravel. He even suggested that Russia interfering with our election will be their undoing. Which we can only hope for, because it’s hard to imagine four years of his lies and boasting about winning the election.
Heaven forbid he stop tweeting about his rallies and start working. Only dictators have rallies. So shape up or ship out, Trumpenführer.
