Donald Trump win in 2024 could spell end of US democracy, warns Hillary Clinton
- The former secretary of state says a second term would make the ex-US president’s chaotic first four years in the White House seem like child’s play
- Clinton says she feels ‘terrible’ about failing to stop Trump during her stunning loss in the 2016 election
He’s running again – and democracy is on the line, according to Hillary Clinton.
The former secretary of state says she thinks former US president Donald Trump is planning for a presidential bid in 2024 and warned that a second term would make his tumultuous first four years in the White House seem like child’s play.
“If I were a betting person, I’d say Trump is going to run again,” Clinton told MSNBC in a new interview that aired Thursday. “If he’s not held accountable and he gets to do it again, I think that could be the end of our democracy.”
The former first lady and Democratic presidential nominee warned that allowing Trump to regain the reins of power would be an unprecedented disaster for the US.
“This is a make or break point,” Clinton said. “If he or someone of his ilk were to be once again elected president … you will not recognise our country.”
Clinton offered candid opinions about Trump and her stunning loss to him in the 2016 election during a one-on-one chat with Willie Geist that was taped at her home in suburban Chappaqua.
