Hillary Clinton has suggested that Trump supporters need to be “deprogrammed” due to their unwavering loyalty. In an interview with CNN, she expressed concern that these extremists “take their marching orders from Donald Trump, who has no credibility left.”
Clinton labeled Trump an “authoritarian populist” who resonates with a segment of the Republican base due to anti-immigrant, homophobic, racist, and workplace injustice sentiments.
Trump’s slogan, “Make America great again,” appeals to those seeking empowerment and nostalgia. Clinton believes Trump will be the Republican nominee for the upcoming election and calls for defeating both him and election deniers within the party.
She hopes President Joe Biden can break the cult-like devotion to Trump, ending the divisive fever that has gripped a portion of the population. Clinton’s comments reflect the ongoing political polarization and challenges in bridging the divide between Trump’s loyal base and the broader American electorate.
