Now that Donald Trump has been elected to his second term in the White House, should people be afraid of him?
Throughout the campaign, many opponents of Trump warned he would weaken — or even end –democracy. They also called him a fascist.
Congressman Bill Huizenga has had just about enough of that kind of language. He told us this week Trump already served four years as president and nothing like that happened.
“Here we have a presidential candidate who has had two assassination attempts on him, two of them,” Huizenga said. “And that somehow has been memory holed and just put away. And it is partially, at a minimum, partially because of the rhetoric that people like Debbie Dingell and others have been using. So, there’s not going to be tanks in the streets, as they’ve claimed. There’s not going to be internment camps. That’s just ludicrous, and they should grow up and mature and move on from that.”
According to Fox News, Congresswoman Debbie Dingell has said there will be internment camps for Trump political opponents. She says it was just a joke. Either way, that’s the kind of talk that was happening before the election.
Congressman Tim Walberg says everyone needs to “get over it.”
“So I hope that those that have been, I guess, whipped up into a fear factor about him will stop, read the Constitution, see what powers he has, and see the checks and balances that are there,” Walberg said.
Walberg says the fact that Trump sought another term proves he is sincere and loves the country. He says Trump could retire in luxury, but instead he’s taking political hits and working.
Of Trump, Walberg also says, “He is just the president. I don’t serve him. No member of Congress serves him.”
