On Wednesday, Dick Gregory appeared on “NewsOne Now” and didn’t hesitate to tell Roland Martin exactly what he felt we can expect from a Trump presidency.
“Anytime you got to vote for the lesser of two evils you’re evil yourself – that’s how Hitler came to power,” Gregory warned, later adding, “Few people know that Hitler won election by 288 votes … and almost wiped the world out.”
As for where we go from here, Gregory had dire words: “We don’t go nowhere, ’cause it’s not your business … If you ever saw Trump’s television shows [they’re] brilliant – so how he get so stupid all at once?”
“If I went to apply for a job collecting garbage, they would ask me to bring in my last year’s tax return. You have a president he don’t have to bring his in and y’all tolerate it and don’t know where it’s going … that’s what it’s about,” Gregory said.
He then repeated his claim that there was simply nothing we could do: “You don’t have to do nothing … this country is not going to make four years, it’s over.”
“Everything you’re seeing … something’s wrong with it,” he said.
