'We Have Never Seen Anything Like This Before in My Lifetime'
Bill Clinton said 'most Americans don't agree' with Donald Trump.
Clinton went on to criticize Trump’s actions in his second term.
"We've never seen anything like this before in my lifetime – somebody that says, 'Whatever I want should be the law of the land. It's my way or the highway,’” Clinton noted. “And most Americans don't agree with that. But I like to think that he's paid a price for this, you know, name-calling and throwing his weight around … I think it's made him less popular."
'The Courts Are Doing Their Jobs'
Bill Clinton said some people are trying to blame Joe Biden for Donald Trump being back in office.
Clinton acknowledged the only way to change what’s going on is upcoming “elections,” which have the potential to put Democrats in control of the House.
“But I do think the courts are getting their dander up,” he elaborated. “I think that him shutting law firms out of representing their clients before federal agencies and in federal buildings, because he doesn't agree with their position – that ain't America. We've never done that. The whole purpose of having a legal system is to have both sides be heard."
"President Trump has a right to do what he thinks is right; he's doing it," he added. "The courts are doing their jobs. There will be other elections. But someone needs to stand up and say, ‘D--- it, what we have in common matters more. We cannot throw the legacy of this country away. We cannot destroy other people's trust in us. We need to preserve that and find a way to work together, and not humiliate other people just so we can win.' We gotta just calm down and try to pull people together again. That's what I think."
