Miles Taylor: Former DHS official: Trump will 'align with dictators around the world' if he wins

A former senior Trump administration official who is endorsing Joe Biden's presidential campaign said Tuesday that if President Donald Trump wins a second term he will "align with dictators around the world."

"There are people serving very close to the President that have told me verbatim we should expect, quote, 'shock and awe' if the President wins a second term. You will see a flurry of executive orders. You will see the President pull out of foreign alliances. You will see the President align with dictators around the world," said Miles Taylor, who served as chief of staff to Homeland Security Secretary Kirstjen Nielsen, in an interview with CNN's Jake Tapper on "The Lead."

"And if right now we're less safe because we have fewer friends and stronger enemies than before, you can expect to see that on steroids in another four years of the Trump administration," Taylor added.

On Monday, Taylor endorsed Biden's White House bid, becoming one of the highest-ranking former Trump administration officials to do so.

On the flip side, if we send Trump packing, it will weaken dictatorship worldwide. We need to set the example, imo.

I wonder if Kirstjen Nielsen is one of the people Taylor anticipates will emerge before November.

It will be more significant if individuals currently serving within the administration are among those he suggests will be coming forward.
