In an interview on CBS News Sunday Morning, former US President Bill Clinton shared his thoughts on Trump’s governing style, dubbing it as unprecedented in modern US history.
“We’ve never seen anything like this before in my lifetime – somebody that says, ‘Whatever I want should be the law of the land. It’s my way or the highway,'” he told CBS. “And most Americans don’t agree with that.”
He also criticized Trump for trying to undermine court rulings and condemned him for targeting law firms that oppose him.
“That ain’t America. We’ve never done that. The whole purpose of having a legal system is to have both sides be heard,” Clinton said.
Further, he said he believes Trump’s aggressive rhetoric may have affected his public image.
“I like to think that he’s paid a price for this – you know, name-calling and throwing his weight around… I think it’s made him less popular.”
Former President Bill Clinton added how he believes only elections where the Democrats win back the House of Representatives in 2026 can change the course of Trump’s agenda.
“Look, only elections are going to change this,” Clinton said. “Someone needs to stand up and say, ‘Damn it, what we have in common matters more. We cannot throw the legacy of this country away. We cannot destroy other people’s trust in us.'”
Former President Bill Clinton also shared his opinion on Original Sin, a recent book about Joe Biden that alleged signs of cognitive and physical decline were visible to those around him.
Clinton said he hadn’t read the book but he didn’t feel Biden was unfit to serve as president.
“I thought he was a good president. The only concern I thought he had to deal with was, could anybody do that job until they were 86?” Clinton said. “And we’d had several long talks. I had never seen him and walked away thinking, He can’t do this anymore. He was always on top of his briefs.
“I haven’t read the book. And I saw President Biden not very long ago, and I thought he was in good shape. But the book didn’t register with me ’cause I never saw him that way.”
