Description

Al Franken, the comedian, former U.S. senator and dedicated podcaster, has laid out a dire future for the country while revisiting the topic of Donald Trump as president of the United States. Franken, speaking on The Al Franken Podcast, broached the topic in trademark form, sarcastically looking back at the Trump administration’s early fumbling of the inauguration’s crowd size and Trump adviser Kellyanne Conway’s references to “alternative facts” — before he looked into the future, which he predicts will be bleak. “And by the way, when you say kids will look up and see Donald Trump’s picture as president, they’ll see Donald Trump, then they’ll see [Joe] Biden, and then they’ll see Donald Trump again,” Franken said. “And he’ll still be president when these kids are in school. “Because, that’s it. It’s over. It’ll be a dictatorship. It’ll be an authoritarian regime. We won’t have a democratic election. It’ll be like Hungary, and it’ll all be fraud.”
