Retired Army Lt. Col. Alexander Vindman, a key witness in the first impeachment inquiry of former President Donald Trump, expressed concerns on MSNBC’s “The Last Word” that Trump could undermine American democracy if re-elected. Vindman highlighted Trump’s declared intent to exert dictatorial powers and the significant damage already inflicted on democratic institutions. He drew parallels between Trump’s desired governance style and Putin’s authoritarian regime in Russia, urging voters to act to prevent similar oppression in the U.S.
Vindman criticized Trump’s past rhetoric towards NATO and its allies, suggesting it emboldened adversaries like Russia. He recounted Trump’s comments at a South Carolina rally, where Trump spoke dismissively about NATO’s defense commitments. Vindman emphasized the real and present danger to NATO and American democracy should Trump return to power, indicating a broader Republican reluctance to defend NATO allies under certain circumstances.
