President-elect Donald Trump’s second term is not going to be the “evil dictatorship” the liberal media wants you to believe, says New Hampshire Gov. Chris Sununu.
Sununu, a moderate Republican, doesn’t believe the doomsaying surrounding the incoming president. In an interview with Politico, he agreed that there is room to criticize Trump but the fearmongering has gone too far. He even pointed out that former Rep. Matt Gaetz bowed out of consideration for Attorney General after allegations against him were brought to the media for discussion.
“Did Matt Gaetz just get pushed right out of his nomination to be the U.S. attorney general? Yes. Look, it’s never easy criticizing the president and the standard bearer of your party, and there’s always that kind of political honeymoon period that happens when you first get elected. But there are already signs of folks that are willing to push back and criticize and say no when they feel like they have to say no. And that should give the American people a big sigh of relief that it’s not the evil dictatorship that the liberal media was telling us it was going to be,” he aserted.
Sununu also pointed out that Trump’s influence has completely overtaken the Republican Party.
“Trump is extremely unique. There’s no ‘Trump lite’ or ‘Trump 2.0’ that can replace or replicate what he’s brought to the table, for better or for worse,” he said.
Looking forward to 2028, he predicted a contested primary within the Republican Party as contenders look to capitalize on Trump’s legacy.
“There’ll definitely be a real, contested primary. I think [Vice President-elect] JD [Vance] is great, by the way. He’s shown himself to have overcome a lot of the early criticisms that he [faced]. He’s competent. He’s incredibly smart on his feet. He knows the issues. He’s very cordial. He gets along with the other side — that was shown through the vice presidential debate, and I think that gave strength to the entire ticket. So there’s no doubt he’s in a great position if he wanted to run in ‘28. But no one’s going to just hand it to him. You’ve got to bring him through his paces. I imagine if he wanted to be a front-runner, he would be. But no, you’re gonna have a lot of folks from all walks of life running,” Sununu said.
