00:00 Many Americans have increasing fears about a Trump return to the Oval Office, stoked by his recent dictator-like rhetoric.
00:07 Now it seems a former president is taking on that moniker proudly with the recent word cloud he posted on Truth Social.
00:14 The cloud was compiled by Daily Mail, produced after polling a thousand voters and asking them to use one word to describe Donald Trump.
00:21 And as you can see, the largest words among the jumble are "economy", "power" and "dictatorship".
00:27 With "revenge" being the biggest and boldest word of all.
00:31 Daily Mail also compiled the word cloud for President Biden, with those polled using the words "nothing", "economy", "peace" and "power" in relation to him.
00:39 This all comes after Donald Trump told Fox News just a few weeks ago that he would be a dictator if re-elected, but only on the first day of his presidency.
00:48 However, on that day, he said, quote, "I want to close the border and I want to drill drill."
00:53 This is concerning considering Trump's more recent rhetoric.
00:56 Saying this about immigrants during a recent rally in New Hampshire.
01:00 "They're poisoning the blood of our country. That's what they've done."
01:03 The phrasing was akin to the likes of Adolf Hitler as he gained power in Germany ahead of World War II.
01:09 Experts say that if re-elected, Donald Trump could pose a very serious risk to American democracy,
01:15 citing his 2020 election denialism and the events of January 6th.
