Trump is “getting more dangerous because he’s getting weaker,” out former Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg recently told MS NOW host Jen Psaki of the president’s recent attempts to forcefully obtain states’ voter rolls by using federal immigration agents and FBI raids. “As he loses more and more favor and popularity among the American people, he’s going to continue to try to make up for that using the machinery of government that he controls,” Buttigieg continued. “But that’s perilous for him.
