He doesn't make a secret of it. And today, speaking from Japan, he threatened to send the military into American cities, to terrorize citizens into compliance. All hail King Donald. 🤴

Obama: We have to recognize that on both sides there are people who are extremists
But I will say that those extreme views were not in my White House. I wasn’t embracing them. I wasn’t empowering them. I wasn’t putting the weight of the government behind extremist views.
