Donald Trump has once again proven that my warnings from long ago were accurate.
In 2011 I said he wanted to be America's dictator and thinks he should run the whole world.
I was mocked for those words.

Shocking ahistorical error on NPR's Morning Edition, which stated as fact that America had "record" inflation under Biden, a frequent fact-free Trump claim.
Biden topped 9%, then brought it down to under 3%.
The record? 23.7% in 1920, but also 14.4% in 1947, and 14.8% as the '70s became the '80s.
