Transcript: Donald Trump and the autocrats' playbook

Contributing sentiments towards policy:

64% : There was a lot about Maga and it was really all about Trump.
62% : The enlisted men, Trump famously said, we love the poorly educated.
52% : I mean, what's interesting, everything that Trump accuses Democrats of doing is what he wants to do.
44% : And it was about a party that puts nationalism in its own definition of what nationalism means upfront that defines itself not by who they are, but by who they are against.
41% : And you know, you and I, as foreign policy commentators have been talking for months -- years, really -- about the consequences of a return for Trump, for Nato, for trade, for the kinds of things that we spend a lot of time thinking about.
39% : I mean, I, on a relatively recent trip to Washington, saw people in the Pentagon who were already thinking through some of this, and they were worried that Trump, if he were to win, would put in a loyalist very high up, maybe a secretary of state for defence, and then start purging all those people.
39% : Do you think Trump and the Maga people are already thinking in those terms?
38% : But it occurs to me that if Trump wins and then starts really trying to deport 11mn people or even 2mn people, and as you said, the military sent into cities, people aren't going to take that lying down are they?
31% : Ivo Daalder has told us a lot about Trump and about fascism his parents lived in the Netherlands during the second world war under the Nazi occupation.
28% : I mean, I don't know whether that's just bluster, but sure as Trump would say, you've got to be very rough.
22% : You seriously think that if Trump were to, say, institute a domestic version of the drone program and start killing American citizens, that there would be no legal check on that?Ivo Daalder
