Maxine Waters Slams Trump, Warns of Danger Ahead
California Democrat Maxine Waters didn’t hold back as she blasted Donald Trump and warned about the risks his leadership poses to America’s future.
Criticism on MSNBC
Speaking on MSNBC Friday, Waters launched a series of sharp attacks on Trump’s handling of the U.S. government. She urged immediate action to remove him from office, even calling for the use of the 25th Amendment.
“Makings of a Dictator”
Waters accused Trump of trying to seize control of the Federal Reserve.
“He wants to control the Fed. He wants to set interest rates. He wants board members who obey without question. This is extraordinarily dangerous. It’s the makings of a dictator who wants to control the entire economy,” she warned.
She argued that Trump’s policies could “upend the entire economy” and pressed for aggressive steps to stop him.
Call for the 25th Amendment
The congresswoman dismissed relying on the courts. Instead, she demanded the cabinet invoke the 25th Amendment.
“It’s time to determine his unfitness. Something is wrong with this president,” she said. “We must act aggressively to protect our democracy. This is one of the most destructive things a president could do.”
Previous Warnings About Iran
Waters has long criticized Trump’s foreign policy. After Iran launched an attack in June, she accused him of pushing the U.S. toward w*r.
“Trump is out of control and does not contribute to peace. This president must be stopped,” she declared, urging Congress to confront the issue and pursue negotiations instead of w*r.
Trump Defends Strikes
Trump, however, celebrated U.S. strikes on Iranian nuclear sites. He called them “very successful” and said they destroyed key parts of Iran’s nuclear program.
“Our goal was to stop the nuclear thr**t from the world’s number one state sponsor of ter*or. Tonight, I can report the strikes were a spectacular success,” he said.
