Former Trump aide and chief of staff at the Department of Homeland Security Miles Taylor joins Alex Witt to discuss the dangers of another Trump term, the 14th Amendment clause, and Trump telling conservative media personality Glenn Beck that he would prosecute his political enemies if elected president again. "Donald Trump actually did have a vision while I was in the administration to use the terrorist prison at Guantanamo Bay to house political prisoners,” Taylor says. “The only reason he didn’t start sending people to Guantanamo is that he was convinced it would be too expensive and the facility couldn't house the number of people he wanted to send there.That was the mindset of the man when he was president of the United States.”
This is also why he’s pushing the “2020 was stolen” line - besides the fact that he can’t admit that he lost. Trump and the GOP took measures to prevent Democrats from voting. Stuff like mucking with the post office, closing polling sites, etc. And yet the Democrats won.
To Trump, the only possible reason for this isn’t “the Democrats voted in large enough numbers to overcome the Republican cheating.” No, the only reason must be “the Democrats cheated more than we did.”
He is so transparent. Only people who cheat themselves are usually this paranoid about other people doing it. It is also true for thieves and a bunch of other stuff.
Every time he talks about this it is clear as day that he thinks they over-cheated him. He just can’t outright say it, but this pisses him so much. So instead it comes off as heavily insinuating that the only way to get numbers like he did is to cheat.
